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
- Navigate to the GermanVPS custom panel URL (usually found at https://germanvps.com/portal/login.php).
- Log in with your customer credentials.
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.
