Hello,

This is because your hostname is not in the correct format. It's clearly noted in the error:

A fully qualified domain name must contain two dots, and consists of two parts: the hostname and the domain name.
Your domain does not meet these criteria. You need to change it to include two dots, so if you want to use the domain listed in the screenshot it'd need to be something like server.your-domain.tld
