IP addresses and reverse DNS

Find your server's IP addresses, copy them, and set reverse DNS where it's available.

Updated 22 July 2026

The IP addresses tab on your server lists every IP assigned to it. Open it to see each address, its type, and its reverse-DNS status.

Your addresses

  • Each row shows the IP, whether it's IPv4 or IPv6, and a copy button.
  • Your main address is marked Primary — it's the one shown in the server header and the one you'll usually connect to.

Reverse DNS (PTR)

Where your server's provider supports it, you can set a reverse-DNS (PTR) hostname per address: click Edit next to an IP, enter a fully-qualified hostname such as mail.example.com, and save. Leave it blank and save to clear it. This matters most for mail servers — see "Configuring reverse DNS (PTR records)" for the detail.

If reverse DNS isn't offered for a server, the tab says so — "Reverse DNS isn't available from this server's provider" — and the edit option is hidden. That's a limit of where the server is hosted, not something you've done wrong.

Ordering extra IP addresses from the panel is coming soon; for now, contact support if you need more.
