hi everyone,
I was just about to self-host a Ghost blog but then was warned that my ISP might change my external IP address at any time, so I would need to pay for a static IP address.
Is that true?
(I’d not seen much about that in stuff I’ve looked up so far about self hosting)
PTR records are NOT on the domain side.
https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-ptr-record/
An example record lookup would be
8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa. Like I’ve said twice now. YOU don’t control google’s PTRs (since you linked to google workspaces). They DO have PTRs setups.IP of 142.251.2.109 resolved for my DNS.
https://easydmarc.com/tools/ptr-record-lookup?domain=142.251.2.109&dns_server=1.1.1.1&dns_type=PTR
Resolves to a record name of
dl-in-f109.1e100.netEdit: Another name for a PTR record is rDNS. Or Reverse DNS. and that name is a bit more descriptive in that it’s IP -> Name rather than DNSes normal job of Name -> IP address
