“We automatically create PTR records for Droplets if the name you give it is a valid FQDN. Droplets with IPv6 enabled only have PTR records enabled for the first IPv6 address assigned to it, not to all 16 addresses available.” is inccorrect!!!
PTR Record is NOT set for annhua.org, 162.243.52.195. Please set it up ASAP.

Heya,
Have you configured annhua.org as the Droplet name? The Droplet name must match the FQDN for which you want the PTR record created. Note that if your Droplet name is not set to the FQDN then the PTR will not be added automatically.
Hi there,
To address your concern about the PTR record for your DigitalOcean Droplet:
DigitalOcean automatically sets up PTR records (reverse DNS records) for Droplets when the Droplet’s name is a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). However, if the PTR record for your Droplet (
annhua.org
with the IP162.243.52.195
) is not set, there are a few steps you can take to resolve this:1. Verify Droplet Name
annhua.org
. The Droplet name must match the FQDN for which you want the PTR record created. Note that if your Droplet name is not set to the FQDN then the PTR will not be added automatically.2. Ensure DNS Configuration
annhua.org
has an A record pointing to the Droplet’s IP address (162.243.52.195
). This DNS setup should be in place in the domain’s DNS settings (wherever your domain’s DNS is managed).3. Allow Time for Propagation
If you’ve followed these steps and the PTR record is still not set up, I recommend contacting DigitalOcean support directly. Provide them with the details (Droplet name, IP address, and the domain name) and explain the issue. They can look into this and help set up the PTR record:
Hope that helps!
