Manage PTR records

Last update: October 30 2026Open in Markdown

For your information

PTR records can only be managed for Russian IP addresses. To manage PTR records for IP addresses in other countries, submit a ticket.

A PTR record, or reverse resource record, maps an IP address to a domain name. For example, mail servers check the PTR record to determine the sender's domain from their IP address.

The Control Panel displays:

• public IP addresses from the Selectel autonomous system (AS) that are assigned to dedicated servers, cloud servers, Managed Kubernetes , VMware-based cloud, colocated equipment, firewalls ;
• PI (provider-independent) IP addresses that you announce through Selectel equipment.

For these IP addresses, you can add, edit, and delete a PTR record.

If you cannot find the IP address or the PTR record added for it, submit a ticket.
