Manage PTR records

Last update: October 05 2026Open in Markdown

A PTR record, or reverse resource record, allows you to assign a name (domain) to an IP address. For example, mail servers check the PTR record of the sender's IP address.

The Control Panel displays:

• public IP addresses from the Selectel AS (autonomous system) used on dedicated servers, colocated equipment, firewalls, Cloud Platform resources (cloud servers, cloud load balancers, cloud databases, etc.);

• PI IP addresses that you announce via Selectel equipment.
