Steps to Set rDNS via Custom Portal (GermanVPS.com) Print

  • 0

To set up rDNS (Reverse DNS) in the Custom panel provided by GermanVPS.com, you generally follow these steps. rDNS allows you to associate an IP address with a domain name, which is important for email deliverability and network credibility.

Steps to Set rDNS via Custom Portal (GermanVPS.com)

1. Log in to your GermanVPS Account

2. Go to the VPS Management Section

  • Once logged in, find your VPS service. This will usually be under the Services or My Services section in your client dashboard.
  • Click on Manage or View Details for the specific VPS where you want to set up rDNS.

3. Locate rDNS Settings

  • In the VPS management interface, there should be a section labeled Reverse DNS

4. Set or Update the rDNS Record

  • Once in the rDNS management section, you will see a list of your IP addresses.
  • Find the IP address for which you want to configure rDNS.
  • Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that you want to associate with the IP address. This is the reverse DNS entry (e.g., vps.yourdomain.com).
  • Submit the change by clicking Save button.

5. Wait for Propagation

  • The rDNS record will take some time to propagate, typically 24-48 hours.
  • You can verify if rDNS has been successfully configured using online tools like MXToolbox or the dig command in your terminal (dig -x <your IP>).

6. Check for Successful Configuration

  • Once the record has propagated, you can test the rDNS by pinging the IP and seeing if it resolves to the correct domain name.

Additional Notes:

  • rDNS Requirements: Make sure the domain name you use in the rDNS entry points back to the IP in the A record (forward DNS).
  • Support: If you do not have access to rDNS management within custom portal, GermanVPS might require you to submit a support ticket to update the rDNS manually.

This should guide you through setting rDNS using the custom panel at GermanVPS!
