Static IP revealing username as hostname

Hello,

 

I have just relised that my username Is listed as my hostname on reverse ip lookup tools.

I  have just spoken to customer services over the phone who have told me that removing my username is not possible without closing my account. However I have noticed some other users having success via the forum.

 

Is this possible?

@Eth0v1 you can have it as static or a domain so long as the A record is pointing towards the static or the username. Let me know what you want.

Re: Static IP revealing username as hostname

Hello will,

If I could have the domain I host on this IP pointed to the static, I'd appreciate it. OK to PM you the domain?
