You can manage your cpanel account preferences easily through the cPanel portal. In this guide, we will walk you through with an example of when an account preference may require adjustment in cPanel for your Packetra hosting.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is only applicable to those who have an account with Packetra <\/strong>and it assumes that you are already logged into the cPanel. Don’t have a hosting account yet? Check out our Shared Hosting<\/strong><\/a> or WordPress Hosting<\/strong><\/a>. If you already have one feel free to login<\/a><\/strong> to your portal, click the cPanel hosting service and use one of the quick actions to log onto your cPanel to follow the guide below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to Adjust cPanel Account Preferences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, lets review the screenshot below. In this article we can clearly see that cPanel is sending us every single day up to renewal that our SSL certificate is expiring soon. This can become quite the nuisance to the end user, you can control this with your Account Preferences<\/strong> in your cPanel and we’ll show you how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cPanel<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Find cPanel Account Preferences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, under the Preferences <\/strong>section, click the Account Preferences <\/strong>button, this will take us to our cPanel account preferences page where we can manage quite a few options including silencing the SSL notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Under<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adjust Your cPanel Account Preferences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will scroll down and under Contact Preferences<\/strong> we will ensure that Disable AutoSSL event notification<\/strong> is selected This is not the only thing we can change, there are quite a few preferences you can change on the page but for this tutorial we’re going to shut off all autoSSL notification because as part of cPanel the AutoSSL will if everything is okay renew all by itself. We suggest you maintain the checkmark in SSL Certificate expiry<\/strong> as this is for non-AutoSSL events such as your own certificate which is not renewed automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Successfully Silenced the Notification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if the action succeeds without issues, you will see the a green colored Success message in the top right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That is it, now you know how silence the AutoSSL Certificate messages as well as you can adjust other behavior in your cPanel through Packetra hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong>

Will changing my preferences affect my hosting?<\/strong><\/strong>
No. Account preferences only control notifications and display settings in your cPanel. They do not affect your hosting performance, websites or email.

Can I re-enable notifications later?<\/strong>
Yes. Simply go back to Account Preferences and tick the checkboxes again. Changes take effect immediately.

Are these preferences per account or per domain?<\/strong><\/strong>
These preferences apply to your entire cPanel account, not individual domains. All notification settings affect every domain hosted under the same account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to Know<\/strong>
We recommend reviewing your cPanel account preferences shortly after setting up your hosting. Turning off unnecessary notifications early keeps your inbox clean. However, we suggest keeping the SSL Certificate Expiry notification enabled for any paid certificates you install manually, as those do not auto-renew like Let’s Encrypt. If you run into any issues, open a support ticket through the client portal<\/strong><\/a> and our team will assist you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
