This solution will work on all RH-based operating systems.
1. Login to your server as 'root' and run
#vi /etc/hosts - this will open up the /etc/hosts file using VIM editor
2. Change the values after your server's main IP address to reflect your desired hostname. You must put in a valid hostname, one that will resolve as one of the options. Example:
127.0.0.1 localhost
1.1.1.1 myhostname.mydomain.com myhostname
3. After you are finished, save the file by running
:wq
4. When you're back at the prompt, run
#vi /etc/sysconfig/network
5. In the network file, next to your IP, change the current value with your new valid hostname (myhostname.mydomain.com)
6. When you're done, save the file
:wq
If the hostname did not take effect automatically (as it should), issue a server wide reboot for these effects to take change
#shutdown -r now
Wait for the machine to come back up and double check your new hostname by running the #hostname command.
Just to note, you can also check to make sure that /proc/sys/kernel/hostname has also been updated to the new hostname.
Great host, have tried many they're certainly a top choice for me. Premium bandwidth, great prices, 100% stable, and great support.
AYKsolutions - best solution for small/high business I have several plans with them and i can sleep well because their team watch over my servers. I started with a small shared account and now, after two years i have multiple dedicated boxes. I like the way they treat their customers, even if they have a small or a big plan. Their tehnical support is the best i ever meet ( worked with many hosting pro viders ). In one word: If you need cheap and no headache for your internet bussiness, AYKsolutions it's your best choice
Hi Guys and Gals, I'll just say you all are top notch and go above and behind with support. I've tested many other companies none compare to the expertise you all. Previously I would just get a ticked bumped up to a higher level of tier support etc. with AYK everyone is knowledgeable and prompt. Thank you for offering a premium hosting solution. Warm Regards, Johnny
