2. Open the Tools pagina.
3. In de Voorkeuren sectie, klikken Contact Information.

This section is available on all standard cPanel hosting services.

Updating the primary email address

The primary contact email address is used for critical system notifications.

1. Locate the primary email address field.
2. Enter the new email address.

It is recommended to use an email address that is not hosted on the same account. This allows you to receive notifications even if the hosting service is temporarily unavailable.

Adding a secondary email address

A secondary email address can be used as an additional notification destination.

1. Find the secondary email address field.
2. Enter a valid and accessible email address.

Using multiple contact addresses improves delivery reliability for important account alerts, including billing and service notices related to payment methods.

Configuring contact preferences

cPanel allows you to choose which types of notifications are sent.

1. Scroll to the Contact Preferences sectie.
2. Select the checkboxes for the notifications you want to receive.
3. Review the selected options carefully.

2. Klikken Redden to apply the changes.

The updated settings take effect immediately and will be used for future notifications. For accounts hosting multiple websites or services, environments such as cloud-servers may offer more advanced monitoring and notification options.
