This guide explains how to create a PTR record on the dedicated IPs of VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.

Introduction

• A PTR (Pointer Record) is a type of DNS record used to resolve IP addresses to domain names.
• The PTR record is used to associate an IP address with a domain name or subdomain.
• This is the opposite of an A record, which is used to resolve domain names into IP addresses.

Create a PTR record for the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite

Prerequisites

• Make sure your domain or subdomain points to the IP address (v4 or v6) of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite server.
  • You can do this by creating an A record for your domain or by modifying the existing record to point to the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite.
• Make sure your domain name points to the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite (see 1).
• Note the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite server (you can find this IP address in your server management dashboard or by using a command-line command such as "ifconfig" or "ipconfig" depending on the operating system you are using).
