Changing Your Server's Host Name

You specify your server's host name during your very first login to Plesk. If you want to change the host name later, you can do it through Control Panel.

Note. Specifying an invalid host name will result in unpredictable control panel behavior and server malfunction.

To change your server's host name, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Plesk control panel.
  2. Click the Server shortcut in the navigation pane.
  3. Click System Preferences.
  4. Enter the new host name in the Full hostname field.
  5. This should be a fully qualified host name, but without an ending dot (for example, host.example.com).
  6. Click OK.
