Hi,

I hope someone can help me.

We need to find an ISP offering a fixed IP and that can set up reverse DNS.

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance,

Jenny

Most any host should be able to do that for you. They probably don't
advertise that they can, but just ask.

Ah, but.. webhost, or ISP? Are we talking about a static IP for a
website, or for something else? (I just ask because the OP said "ISP".)

Actually, ISP stands for Internet Service Provider (I know you know) -
hosting is an internet service. I guess the OP should clarify if she's
looking for hosting or something else.

Why is reverse DNS needed? Please explain.

so that a lookup on your ip reveals your domain name instead of your ISPs
- At least one European ISP will not handle mail coming from consumer ISPs
unless the reverse DNS has been applied.

Bill,

More and more ISP's are rejecting it here, also, if the RDNS doesn't match.

Good points and bad points. The RDNS increases the amount of network
traffic. However, it is one more layer in spam fighting. I've found it
to help on my VPS's.
