How to change the reverse DNS entry for a server IP address

Sometimes it is required that the server's IP address is resolved back to a specific domain name request via reverse DNS lookup.

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

The setting should be performed in the hosting billing system https://my.realhost.pro
