# Notifications

The bell icon in the topbar shows your account's notifications.

- **Badge count:** how many of your latest 20 notifications are unread (the bell checks every 60 seconds)
- **Categories** the server sends to your account:
  - `login` — a sign-in to your panel from an IP address not seen before for your account
  - `account` — your account was created, suspended or reactivated
  - `backup` — a backup completed or failed; a restore completed or failed
  - `disk` — your home directory reached 90 % of your plan's disk allowance (at most once a day)
  - `ssl` — a certificate one of your sites serves expires in 14, 7, 3 or 1 days
  - a message your hosting provider sends you directly can carry any category
- **Switches:** avatar menu → **Profile** → **Notification Preferences** — one switch for **Email Notifications** and one for **Panel Notifications**. Turning one off stops that channel for every notification; the panel has no per-category switches, and which events notify you is set by your hosting administrator.
- **Email delivery:** through the operator's configured SMTP relay. If you do not receive emails, ask your hosting administrator to verify the relay configuration.
- **What an email shows:** the server it came from, what happened, the affected domain and its details, and a button to your control panel when there is something to do. A failed backup's email says the backup did not finish; the error itself is recorded for your hosting provider.
