Reverse DNS: FREE

@MikHo, Most important thing is that it's working. And now I have 4 DNS servers up and running, all by following your guide. Keep the site updated! (Image)

and benefits to all customers, such as free DNS hosting, free monitoring, free manual backups along with automated weekly offsite backups of all ChicagoVPS nodes, 24x7 support, discounted pricing on
