Change Hostname / Reverse DNS (rDNS) / PTR

Updated over a month ago

To change rDNS/PTR/hostname, please perform these steps:

  1. Login to the Clients Area;

  2. At the top menu select “My Services > VPS” tab;

  3. Find a desirable VPS and press the “Manage” button.

For main IP address:

  1. Press the “Hostname” button;

  2. Enter desired domain/subdomain;

  3. Press “Continue”.

For additional IP addresses:

  1. Under “IP Address” near IP which hostname you want to change press “[PTR]”;

  2. Enter desired domain/subdomain;

  3. Press “Continue”.

Attention #1: Domain/subdomain must be pointed (redirected) to the server’s IP address. It is done with A record. This can be done either at your domain registrar or with ours DNS manager. You should wait up to 24 hours after the domain is pointed before changing hostname/rDNS/PTR.

Attention #2: After hostname/rDNS/PTR is changed to your domain/subdomain it will be not possible to change it back to default hostname/rDNS/PTR.

More information about what can be done with VPS via the Clients Area can be found in our community forum.
