Change Hostname Directadmin

Hostname distinguishes devices on a local network. Additionally, the hostname of a computer allows others to locate it, allowing for data exchange within a network. Many networking programs, including Sendmail and Apache servers, use the hostname to identify the machine. Therefore, it is advised to set the correct hostname. If we need to modify it, we’ve found a solution for you.

A server administrator using DirectAdmin can modify the hostname of the server. A valid hostname will resolve to an IP address, which is the IP address of the server. So make sure it is that address. Create an A record for a subdomain, such as vps1.domain.com, that points to the IP address of the DirectAdmin server. Here, we will describe the steps to change the hostname with DirectAdmin.

1. Firstly, use the admin credentials to access the DirectAdmin control panel. Navigate to the “Administrator Settings” page.
2. Scroll down to the “server settings” section on the “Administrator Settings” page. Then look for “Server’s Hostname.” Here is where we modify the hostname for the DirectAdmin server.
3. Lastly, once entering the new hostname, scroll down to the bottom and click on the Save button.

DirectAdmin will now save the changes and carry them out. Then DirectAdmin will update the ‘Server’s hostname’ field with the new hostname after about a minute. You’re all done now!
