How is an IP read backwards?
For an IPv4 address the lookup reverses its octets under in-addr.arpa: 8.8.4.4 becomes 4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa, and the PTR record there points to dns.google. IPv6 does the same under ip6.arpa.
Every Lumina Broadband IP from ProxyJam in Utica is a static residential (ISP) IP held for the whole paid period, from $5.38 per IP per month. A reverse DNS lookup asks the IP for its hostname, if it has one. Where the name is listed: Albany, Buffalo, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, New York City, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Schenectady, Syracuse, Troy, Utica, White Plains.
Choosing the carrier is all you choose · The IP is issued from its pool, and we do not promise the city it surfaces in · Fixed price per IP per period
Carrier and Utica are already chosen by this page. Set a period and a count, and the total follows.
City helps you pick a provider; the IP's exact city is not guaranteed.

Reverse entries are not required by any Internet Standard, and plenty of IPs have none. An empty result is a result, and worth knowing before a task that logs hostnames.
A PTR name need not resolve back to the same IP. Checking that it does is a separate test called forward-confirmed reverse DNS, and some systems run it.
We file these IPs under Lumina Broadband. Whatever hostname the reverse lookup returns, if any, comes from whoever controls that reverse zone, and we make no forecast about it.
The IP stays the same for the billing period, so one lookup after the order tells you what a remote server will see in its logs for as long as you hold it, unless the record is edited.
ProxyJam lists Lumina Broadband in these places: Albany, Buffalo, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, New York City, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Schenectady, Syracuse, Troy, Utica, White Plains. That records our catalogue, not where the IP goes.
A Lumina Broadband IP is not promised to surface in Utica. Choosing Lumina Broadband is the whole of the choice; the IP comes from that carrier's pool and may surface in another city.
ProxyJam cannot say whether Lumina Broadband is a local Utica company. The catalogue gives us a name, places and a price, and we found no source we trust that identifies the business behind it, so we make no claim about it.
Reverse DNS is a lookup that goes from an IP to a hostname, using a PTR record in the in-addr.arpa tree for IPv4 or ip6.arpa for IPv6. It is the opposite of the usual name-to-number lookup.
ProxyJam does not predict whether the hostname will mention the carrier or the city. Some hostnames carry such hints and some IPs have no PTR record at all. Run the lookup on the IP you receive and read the answer.
A remote server may care about the hostname of your IP, because some servers log it or run a forward-confirmed check, resolving the PTR name back to see whether it returns the same IP. Knowing your IP's answer in advance avoids surprises.
ProxyJam charges $5.38 per IP per month for Lumina Broadband on the opening rung, the same start as every US carrier we sell.
If the hostname does not suit your work, talk to ProxyJam support before you order more. We can tell you what the catalogue lists; we cannot change a reverse record. Contact ProxyJam
