Changing your hostname

The Change Hostname option enables you to change the hostname of your server. It is important to choose a hostname that will not be used for any account, and the hostname must be socially acceptable, as it will appear in all mail headers. The hostname must be a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). All valid hostnames must have at least 2 dots in them, for example entropy.yourdomain.com.

Earth First Web Hosting Manager automatically generates 10 random hostnames based on your current hostname as samples which you can use.

To change your hostname:

1. Click on the Change Hostname link in the Server Setup menu.

2. Enter your changed hostname in the New Hostname field.

3. Click on the button.
