Static IP - no rDNS

[#1]

I've just paid £5 for a static IP and there doesn't appear to be an rDNS associated with it. I can't make my mind up if this is a good thing or not and would appreciate any comments, thanks.

by default it just shows the IP Address

The option is that it shows your account name which isn't really a good idea

There is the option of linking it to a website hosted by Plusnet

@Oldjim Well according to the Static IP on the User Account's page

As standard, the rDNS for your IP address(es) is username.plus.com (where 'username' is your Account Username). If you need to change your rDNS settings, please request this through the Help Assistant.

When I set mine up last year it defaulted to accountname.plus.com, I raised a ticket to get it changed to the IP address in the form aaa-bbb-ccc-ddd.plus.com.

[#5]

@Anonymous that used to be the case but as far as I know that was changed several years ago due to the number of complaints

[#6]

Well that page would appear to be correct as both of my lines show my username and have done since I joined in 2014.

Thinking about it I went to get this changed and I see this in the Help Assistant referred to above.

Alternative Reverse DNS options

The available rDNS configurations are:

username.plus.com (Default setting)

your-static-ip.plus.com (ie 212-159-0-2.plus.com)

any-host-name.domain.co.uk*
domain.co.uk*

That's how I did it @Anonymous, it created a ticket and it was dealt with the next day.

[#8]

@Browni, I have a ticket in the pipe line, but not really expecting any action until the holidays are over, so maybe early next week for me.

[#9]

You never know!

My question was posted at 22:45 and dealt with at 11:25

[#10]

Well my updates have been done, so under 12 hours for the first ticket and 10 minutes for the second. So that's a to MJ for that.

After doing an 'nslookup' on my IP this morning, I now have an rDNS in the form <my_username>.plus.com

Check out the link in post #3.

Thanks but I don't see the point in changing it.
