Normally we will set the hostname of a system during the set up procedure. Many peoples don\u2019t worry about this, and don\u2019t modify the hostname even if for example this was set to something really ridiculous by the datacenter that installed the system.<\/span>
\nThe process of changing your hostname\u00a0is very simple.<\/span>
\n1-Change The Hostname Through SSH<\/strong><\/span>
\nOn any Linux system we can change the hostname with the simple command ‘hostname’\u00a0(surprised?)\u2026 Here is some quick usage of command line.<\/span>
\nLog into your cPanel via\u00a0SSH and run the following commands.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
hostname<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
without any parameter it will outcome the present hostname of the system.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
hostname --fdqn<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
It will outcome the fully qualified domain name of the system.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
hostname server.yourdomain.com<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
It will set the hostname of system to new name.<\/span>
\nNow\u00a0You have to resynchronize the key with the cPanel licensing server.<\/span><\/p>\n
