Keeping Your Contact Information Current in cPanel
Keeping your contact information current in cPanel is crucial. This is the primary way your web host will alert you to important issues, such as **security threats**, **billing problems**, or when your account is nearing its **resource limits** (like disk quota or bandwidth).
This quick, step-by-step guide will demonstrate how to update your contact email address and notification preferences in cPanel.
⚙️ Contact Information Update Steps
- Log into your **cPanel dashboard**.
- In the top right corner, click on your **Username** (e.g., `mybiz123`).
- From the dropdown menu, select **Contact Information**.
- Enter a primary **Email Address** that is not hosted on the account you're managing.
Pro Tip: Using an external email ensures you still receive critical alerts even if the hosting account goes down or has email issues.
- (Optional) Enter a **Second Email Address** as a backup.
- Under **Contact Preferences**, select which notifications you want to receive (e.g., disk usage, bandwidth limits, email quota).
- Click **Save** to update your information and preferences.
