Reviewed on 19 September 2023 • Published on 26 May 2021
Reverse DNS is the opposite of classic “forward” DNS, and maps an IP address to a hostname. This can be useful if, for example, you want to send emails from your server. If you are using the default reverse (*.poneytelecom.eu), you may experience problems with deliverability of your mails and during the subscription of certain tools like JMRP.
Requirements:
- You have an account and are logged into the Dedibox console
- You created a corresponding A record for your reverse DNS at leat 24 hours ago
-
From the console, click Server in the top menu, then select Server list.
-
Click Manage next to the relevant server.
-
Under Network, click Edit Reverses.
-
Enter the new reverse DNS of your IP (generally this corresponds to your hostname) and click Update.
Your reverse DNS is now updated.
