Other Notes

DNS Record changes usually take a few hours due to propagation.

For the DNS Records you make here to work you must use our name servers. See Name Servers for more information.

Our environment does not support Reverse DNS Lookups. This means that a Reverse DNS Lookup will not resolve to the domain name, but instead to the server that the hosting account is on.

We do have TXT entries and PTR entries to help with SPF records when sending email. This shows the email was legitimately sent from a Just Host server, where the domain will be listed if a Reverse DNS Lookup is done.
