[SOLVED] I have successfully solved this issue. This what I do

Clidk droplet -> your droplet name -> Setting -> Rename
Rename your host to "domain.tld"
important thing is ----> we MUST WAIT for DNS update.

I just renamed my droplet to FQDN, e.g. host.domain.com and now it works, i guess:
~$ host 198.211.121.70
70.121.211.198.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer host.domain.com.

Reverse DNS is automatically configured for your IPs based on the hostname that you provide for your virtual server.

Host 155.223.81.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
