How do I update the email on my account?

This is a great question and the answer differs depending on what version you are using(Classic Manager or Cloud Manager.

It's important to note that Linode uses the contact information in your account to notify and bill you. Both the Account & Billing and My Profile pages have an email address field. The email addresses saved on each of these receive different notifications.

If you're the only user, I'd recommend entering your email on both pages. However, if you have multiple users, verify that the primary account holder's email is current on the Account page.

Below I've included instructions on how to update your email in both our Classic Manager and Cloud Manager.
