How do I change my reverse DNS information? How do I make my dy.fi name seen as my host on IRC?

dy.fi]
Reverse zone information can only be changed by the organisation that the given range of IP addresses has been assigned to, which makes a lot of sense in the security point of view. Businesses and larger organisations can either manage their reverse information themselves or instruct their ISPs to change the information as they like, but individual consumers with dynamic IP addresses and cheap lines are typically not given this opportunity. Thus, dy.fi can't help you either.

Yes. We recommend that you register your domain name with a separate registrar before getting a hosting plan. Then, when you need to move to another host, you just need to point your domain's name servers to this new host. If you registered your domain name with a host and now you want to move, you should find your registration records or contact this host and ask them how to control your domain name.
