Question
Is it possible to edit my PTR(?) record as I can't see it?
I can get access to my site via my ip address or domain name (less the ‘WWW’). If I type my domain name with the sub-domain 'WWW’ I lose access.
Okay just found out I need to add a cname record to remedy this, but I can’t find any way of just editing my PTR (wtf is that?) record.
It does say in my DNS information
“To update your PTR record please update your Droplet’s hostname through the control panel.”
REALLY I’ve looked and can see no way of doing this?

PTR definition:
“A PTR record or pointer record matches up an IP address to a domain (or subdomain), allowing reverse DNS queries to function. It performs the opposite service an A record does, in that it allows you to look up the domain associated with a particular IP address, instead of vice versa.”
