Example prompt: Can you check if rallylive.ca has its email hosted on HostGator Mail? I need to know the MX records and whether any of them match HostGator's mail-exchanger patterns.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to specifically identify whether a single domain uses HostGator Mail as its email hosting provider, especially for sales prospecting, competitive intelligence, or pre-migration audits. It is purpose-built for HostGator detection using live MX lookups, making it more reliable than static databases. Choose the bulk sibling endpoint if you need to check multiple domains at once.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no MX records — returns no match with empty MX list
- DNS lookup failure via Cloudflare DoH — may return an error or inconclusive result
- Domain has MX records but none match HostGator patterns — returns 'no' with MX hosts listed
- Malformed or missing domain input — returns validation error
- Payment failure (x402) — request not processed

## How this service works

Is the domain's email hosted by hostgator mail? Looks up the MX records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against hostgator-mail's mail-exchanger patterns, returning yes/no, the MX hosts and which matched. Provider detection for deliverability, sales and migration work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no answer indicating whether the domain's email is hosted by HostGator Mail, along with the full list of MX host records retrieved via Cloudflare DoH and which of those records matched HostGator mail-exchanger patterns.
