Update PTR / Reverse DNS

mikeyue — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 10:21:58 GMT

I have a domain (yue.org.uk) being hosted by 123-reg , is it possible to update the PTR, so reverse for my static will resolve yue.org.uk instead of michaelyue.plus.com

thanks

Mike

@mikeyue yes, it is. One of the staff will pick up this thread and process the request. It may take a day or two though.

In preparation , make sure you have an A record pointing your domain to your static IP as that will be checked before setting the rDNS

@mikeyue Hi there,

Picked this up and raised the task for you today.

As @MisterW Mentioned, this can take a couple of working days. Usual lead times are 3-5 working days but can be sorted sooner depending on the workload the netops team have.

All the best

As luck would have it, I'm on that server now, so I've made the change.
