If you have any credit in your account, it will also be displayed here.
Please be aware, that this information is under our Privacy Agreement with you and won’t be discussed or disclosed to anybody without first getting proper verification [3 security answers for example].

For SECRET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, these will be called upon anytime you need to authorise yourself as the account holder. easyDNS does offer a more enhanced security option for this which is described in our Account Security article found here. We strongly recommend reviewing the account security options for the protection of your domains and data.
The OTHER OPTIONS section lets you know what special options you may have access to and whether they are enabled.
