How to Set a Contact Email in Host Panel?

It’s recommended to set up a contact email in HostPanel. Uptime is crucial for any web-based project, no matter how big or small. At Softxaa, we do our best to ensure that our servers offer the best and most secure possible hosting environment for you. We’re sure you’ve put a lot of effort into configuring your websites to the best of your ability.

Unfortunately, even with the best possible configuration, issues can arise that can disrupt the normal operation of your website. If these problems arise, you need to be aware of them before it’s too late.

In most cases, if you take timely action, you can prevent your website from going down and save yourself (and your end users) a lot of frustration. However, you need to be alerted to any potential issues and this is where HostPanel’s contact email comes in.

Why is it important to set a contact email in HostPanel?

HostPanel is an all-in-one hosting control panel developed by Softxaa‘s in-house developer. It comes with all our managed hosting plans and aims to ensure you can manage your hosting account through a simple, easy-to-use interface without the need to pay hundreds of dollars in licensing fees.

As useful as it is, HostPanel cannot solve some of the problems associated with your project’s growth and dynamic online landscape. As your website becomes larger and more popular, for example, it’s bound to take up more space, and eventually, it may reach your account’s disk space limit. And no matter how big or famous it is, it can always catch the attention of hackers.

If your website reaches the hosting account limit, users will start getting errors and it may go down completely. If it’s under attack, the consequences can be more serious, especially if you don’t act quickly.

To ensure that these issues have the best chance of being resolved as quickly as possible, HostPanel may notify you when they occur. It needs to know how to contact you, however, which is why it’s important to set up a contact email.

Why isn’t the contact email preset by default?

You might be wondering why we don’t just use the email address you gave us during the signup process. The truth is, while some of you are probably handling your entire project yourself, many website owners hire professionals who are responsible for keeping the hosting account up and running and are better equipped to deal with these types of situations. Ideally, they will be the first to receive the notification and their email address should be set as the contact email.

Just one thing you have to remember. Some issues may also affect your email service, which is why we don’t recommend setting an email as your contact email on your hosting account.
