Sometimes it is required that the IP address of a server is resolved back to a specific domain name through a reverse DNS lookup query.

By default, any VPS created on hosting has a domain name. This name is used to automatically register a record in the reverse DNS zone. You can change it at any time.

Setting up is done directly in the control panel of the hosting services https://realhost.pro/en/control

To configure the reverse recording setting:

1. Go to the Servers section and select the virtual machine for which you want to perform the configuration
