How to Set up rDNS in Virtualizor?

The process of mapping an IP address to a domain name is called reverse DNS, or rDNS. This is helpful when we add a server’s IP address to a whitelist for a service that needs a domain name. Most web hosting packages by web hosting companies include rDNS control. We can run the below steps to set up rDNS for the server if we’re using Virtualizor:

1. Initially, choose the server we wish to use by logging into the Virtualizor control panel.

2. Then, select the “Reverse DNS” option after clicking the “Network” tab.

3. Now, click the “Add” button after entering the intended domain name in the “Domain Name” field.

4. That is all there is to it! It will take a few minutes for the rDNS entry to propagate after creation.

Endusers can also enter the reverse DNS for their IP address from the Enduser Panel after adding the RDNS Zone from the Admin Panel. We can use the following choices under Admin Panel > Configuration > Master Settings -> Enable RDNS in order to regulate the RDNS management option for the Enduser panel. End user can only able to manage the RDNS entries after selecting the Auto Add rDNS Zone option. A new zone entry will also be made for the PTR record added if there isn’t already one.
