As a webmaster you should always keep your contact information up-to-date for your cpanel Email hosting account so that your webhost will find it easy to get in touch with you with all latest information and important notifications for your account. You can easily update your contact information using your cPanel in fairly easy steps. If you wish to update your contact information, you will have to log into your cPanel account using http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel or http://www.yourdomain.com:2082 in the address bar and will have to proceed with providing username and password. Once you login to your cpanel you need to get into “Preferences” menu. Using “Preferences” menu you can easily modify the look and feel of your cpanel account, can change settings and can also create shortcuts. You will get several options in the “Preferences” menu such as “Getting Started Wizard”, “Video Tutorials”, “Change Password”, “Update Contact Info”, “Change Style”, “Change Language”, and “Shortcuts”. You need to click on the “Update Contact Info” option and will have to continue by entering your email address next to textbox “Contact Email” and just click “Save Email” button. You will get a message stating that “Contact Email has been set to Contact_Email for Domain_Name”. thus you have successfully updated your contact information for your cpanel email hosting account.
Its most important what email address you are using as your contact email address, its always better to have your contact email address different from the email account that is hosted on same cpanel account.
For example, if you are hosting the domain www.mydomain.com on this cpanel email hosting account you should not use the email mymail@mydomain.com as your contact information rather you should try using a different email address which is not associated with any of the domain in your cPanel account. This will ensure you that you will get notification email from your webhosting service provider even if there is some problem with your cpanel account or webmail account.
