I would like to change the hostname on my Ubuntu Server 12.04 box that I rent from a dedicated server company. At the moment if I type hostname
into SSH I get a response like so:
cl-21.servercompany.com
is there a way to change this? And if I do, will it cause any problems? I'm unsure if the company is likely to use the hostname to connect to the server from inside the database or its static IP.
Thanks!
