For each Hetzner profile, the name and contact details listed under the Profile Owner created at signup is known as the Authorised Contact. It is this person that is recognised by Hetzner and authorised to make changes to the hosting account.

When addressing certain requests to Hetzner e.g. upgrading your account or requesting a profile transfer, our consultants will ask you to send the request via email using the authoritative email address. This is the email address that appears in your konsoleH control panel under ‘Account Profile / Key Account Holder’ with your Account number included.

These security checks are crucial as they prevent any unauthorised changes made to your account by people posing as you.

It is therefore critically important that you update your contact details with Hetzner so that we have the latest information under the ‘Authorised Contact’ in our database in order to assist you promptly.

You can update your contact details via konsoleH. Simply click on the ‘Account Admin’ tab (top right) and select ‘Account Profile’. The ‘Key Account Holder’ details refer to the Authorised contact. You will also need to update the information under the ‘Update Contacts’ tab, providing updated details for your billing and technical contacts.

These security measures are in place to protect your online assets.
