    Hi everyone,

    I restarted my VPS using the panel of my VPS provider, and this panel has changed my hostname, so i can't change it anymore.

    Normally, my hostname must be cpanel1.domain.fr But with the restart, the hostname is cpanel1

    So, any idea to force the hostname change ?


    Sorry for my english, i'm french :)

    Howdy,

    What type of vps is it? I know that viruozzo/openvz vps's and openstack vps's can rename a server on reboot. Each has a way of correcting the issue.

    Thanks!

    It doesn't work, I was always the old hostname, is not possible to interrupt the current change?

    Hello :)

    You can change the existing hostname via:

    "WHM >> Change Hostname"

    It's documented at:

    Change Hostname - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

    I also suggest contacting your VPS hosting provider and requesting help with changing the hostname associated with your VPS at the node level.

    Thank you.
