Create a PTR record for VPS Cloud / VPS Lite

This guide explains how to create a PTR record for dedicated IPs on VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.

Steps to Follow

A PTR (Pointer Record) is a type of DNS record used to resolve IP addresses into domain names. The PTR record is used to associate an IP address with a domain name or subdomain. It is the reverse of an A (Address) record, which is used to resolve domain names into IP addresses.

If you have a VPS Cloud / VPS Lite and want to create a PTR record for your dedicated IP address, here are the steps to follow:

1. Ensure that your domain or subdomain points to the IP address (v4 or v6) of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite server. You can do this by creating an A record for your domain or by modifying the existing record to point to your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite's IP address.
2. Verify that your domain is correctly pointing to the IP address of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite (refer to step 1).
3. Contact Infomaniak support to request the creation of a PTR record for your dedicated IP address.
   1. Provide the IP address of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite server (you can find this IP address in your server management dashboard or by using a command-line tool such as "ifconfig" or "ipconfig" depending on your operating system).
4. Once the PTR record is created, use an online verification tool to ensure that the PTR record points to your domain or subdomain.
