Setting your FQDM

• Find your current FQDN by checking your hosts file with sudo nano /etc/hosts
• The first part can be whatever word you like
• The second part is the domain name
• EG, a FQDN could be earth.rgdigital.io

Set your host name with -

hostname earth.rgdigital.io

Edit httpd.conf - ServerName earth.rgdigital.io

Finally, go to the linode manager > Network tab, and set your reverse dns to earth.rgdigital.io.
