Your account details appear on your invoices and are used to contact you about your services. Keep them up to date.

## Update your account details

1. Log in to the [client area](https://dashboard.ruachost.com/clientarea.php).
2. Click your name in the top-right corner and choose **Account Details**.
3. Update any of these:
   - **First and last name**
   - **Company name:** shown on your invoices
   - **Address:** shown on your invoices and used to work out tax
   - **Phone number**
   - **Tax ID / VAT number:** if your business is registered for VAT, enter its number so it appears on your invoices
   - **Payment method:** your default way to pay new invoices
   - **Billing contact:** who receives invoices, if not you
   - **Email preferences:** which types of email you receive, such as invoices, product and domain notices
4. Click **Save Changes**.

Changes apply to new invoices. To have an existing invoice reissued with new details, [contact support](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/getting-started/guides/contact-support/).

## VAT on invoices

Invoices include VAT where it applies. The VAT amount is shown as a separate line on each invoice. Make sure your **address** and **tax ID** are correct so your invoices are right for your records.

## Change your login email address

Your login email is changed in **Your Profile**, not Account Details. See [Updating the email address for your account](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/getting-started/client-area/updating-the-default-email-address-for-your-account/).

> **Note:**
**Account details** are about your Ruachost account and invoices. **Domain contact details** (the registrant shown in WHOIS) are separate. See [Updating your domain contact details](https://helpcenter.ruachost.com/domains/guides/updating-your-domain-contact-details/).

## Email history

Click your name and choose **Email History** to see every email we've sent you, such as order confirmations, invoices, renewal reminders and password resets. Click a subject to read the email. This is useful if a message went to your spam folder.
