What is the difference between a PTR record and a CNAME record?

CNAME records allow you to resolve a DNS name with a different name. The only limitation is that you cannot have them on your top-level domain, but only on sub-domains. PTR records start from the IP address and resolve with a name. To create one, you need to own the IP address, that is not something really easy or cheap.

What happens if a domain has no PTR record?

If a domain has no PTR record, or if the PTR record contains the wrong domain, email services may block all emails from that domain. Logging: System logs typically record only IP addresses; a reverse DNS lookup can convert these into domain names for logs that are more human-readable.

How do I create an a/PTR record?

To create an A record (or CNAME), you need to be the owner of the domain. Then, you can insert any record you want, to any IP you want. Instead, to create a PTR record (for public IP addresses), you have to own the IP address. And not owning it in a sense of leasing it from a provider, as 99% of the cases.
