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.

WebHost 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 Change button.
