Create customer password

If you have not yet assigned a customer password or you do not know your current customer password, you can set a new customer password at any time. You only need your customer number and access to the contact email address you saved for this.
Click on the customer login page on the Forgot password? , link; in the following window you can specify your customer number and the saved email address. After this you will receive an email with a link that you can use to assign a new customer password.
Package password
You can view and change technical settings with this password. In your Customer Service Area, you can set up email accounts and FTP accounts, create subdomains, configure domain forwards and perform many other administrative tasks.
The new assignment or changing of the package password can be done in your customer login; in order to do so, you will have to log in with your customer number and customer password.
After logging in, click on your package to select the corresponding package.
Click on the menu option Security / Set Passwords in the package overview. Enter the desired package password and then save it.
