# Request or update reverse DNS

Choose a hostname for your assigned address and check the related forward DNS.

## Prepare the hostname

Choose a hostname under a domain you control and configure its forward DNS to the intended address. Keep the exact address and hostname ready for the request.

## Apply the supported change

Use the reverse-DNS control available for the service or contact support with the order reference. PTR management depends on the assigned address and service configuration.

## Check the result

Allow for DNS caching and verify both directions after the change. Reverse DNS does not by itself authorise outbound mail; port 25 and acceptable-use conditions remain separate.

## Need help?

[Contact support](https://rdpforge.com/contact)  with your service or purchase requirements. For a new order,  [compare the plans and complete prepaid prices](https://rdpforge.com/pricing) .

Did this solve your problem?

Open a ticket with the service reference and relevant symptoms or error output. Remove passwords, tokens and private keys before sending.
