Location: Preferences/Update Contact Info
It is important that you keep your contact information up-to-date so your web hosting provider can contact you regarding updates, news, and other related information to your account. The contact information cPanel stores is an email you use that is not associated with the domain your web hosting account is using. For example, if the web hosting account your cPanel is running on uses domain "xyz.com," your contact information email should not be user@xyz.com. Instead, using a different email address that is NOT associated with any of the domains in your cPanel system.
NOTICE: MAKE SURE THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOMAIN cPANEL IS RUNNING ON!
