Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is reverse DNS?
A: Reverse DNS is the process of resolving an IP address back to its hostname. While forward DNS maps a domain to an IP address, reverse DNS maps an IP to a domain name using PTR records.
Q: Why does reverse DNS matter for email?
A: Many email servers check if the sending IP address has a valid reverse DNS record. If no PTR record exists, your emails may be marked as spam or rejected entirely.
