Change account name

Is it possible to change the accountid for plusnet?  I was not aware/informed that it showed up as the hostname (e.g. accountid.plus.com) for an nslookup, and I'd prefer it to be something different now that I know it does.

Re: Change account name

Thanks.

 

I also found the note about the rDNS after a bit of looking.  Probably my fault for not reading completely through the fine print.

For clarity to anyone else reading this topic - the ACCOUNT NAME cannot be changed, but the rDNS can be changed (to not refer to the inferred domain name of accountname.plus.com) if you have a fixed IP address, which is what @MatthewWheeler has done.
