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.
I have never experienced a more professional and personal client-based service such as I am enjoying from AYKSolutions. This is no plotted statement either. I'm not a guru by no means, and they have been unbelievably superb in helping me promptly, professionally, courteously, and completely. Thank you Artyom & team.
I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
I had never heard of AYK Solutions before, but they had an awesome deal I couldn't pass up on WHT. So far the service has been exceptional, and the server is rock solid. I'll be moving my other servers here soon!
