Configure Important System Notifications
To ensure you are immediately informed of critical events – such as a nearly full disk or security alerts – your contact information in cPanel must always be up to date. Here you can define which information is sent to which address.
How to Change Your Contact Data
- In the first field, enter your primary email address (ideally an address that is not hosted on this server, so you remain reachable even during disruptions).
- Optionally, provide a second address for safety.
- Select your desired notification settings (see below).
- Click Save.
Recommended Notification Settings
We recommend keeping at least the following options enabled to avoid jeopardizing your website's operation:
Disk Quota: Notifies you when your web space or email storage is nearly full.
SSL Certificates: Info about expiring certificates (important for your visitors' security).
Security Logins: Receive an email when someone logs into your account (protection against unauthorized access).
AutoSSL Notifications
AutoSSL ensures that your website is automatically encrypted. Here you can set the information level:
- Only failures and deferrals (Default): You will only be informed if something did not work. This is the recommended setting to avoid unnecessary emails.
- Disable AutoSSL: Not recommended, as you risk your website suddenly being marked as "insecure" without you noticing.
Security Tip: Enable the option "Someone logs into my account". This way, you will immediately notice if your credentials fall into the wrong hands.
