I have recently bought hosting and domain from hostinger and I started getting tons of spam emails from people offering me web and graphics design services.

The email I used to purchase hosting and domain has never been used before and it never had problems with spam.

Is there any way to solve this?

I think its because of domain whois, so get a private whois.

Register the domain with private whois guard or use fake email address.. scrapers are getting your email address from your whois info. or email address on your website.

I thought so, but I never had that kind of problem before. Also, hostinger offered me private whois for $5. Now I know why.

That's normal, there are people just preying on new domains and then spamming their stuff. After getting privacy, move the domain to cloudflare. Among other things, they will obfuscate your email if it's publicly posted anywhere on your site. Bots will then not be able to scrape your email
