Vanta Panel
Contact Information
Set the email address your Vanta Panel hosting account uses for account and security notices, plus an optional fallback address.
Contact information in vPanel.
Contact Information (vPanel → Contact Information) is where your hosting account's own email address is recorded. It is the address account and security notices are sent to, so it is worth keeping current.
The three fields
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name | Your name, shown alongside the account |
| Contact email | The primary address for account and security notices |
| Second email (optional) | A fallback address |
Save writes them for your account and confirms with Contact information saved.
Why the second address is worth filling in
The point of the optional second address is that it should not depend on the same server. If your primary contact address is a mailbox hosted on this account, and the account or the server has a problem, a notice about that problem may not reach you. An address on a different provider — a personal address, or one at another domain — is the one that gets through when something is actually wrong.
What it does not change
- It is not your login. Your username and password are unchanged; see Changing your password.
- It is not a mailbox. Creating an address you can send and receive with is a separate thing — see Email hosting.
- It does not affect the server-wide alerts your host receives. Those are configured by the administrator in vWHM; see Panel settings.
