It is recommended to modify server hostnames according to the environments they host in order to ease identification.

Edit the following file:
As root user
```
/etc/sysconfig/network
```
Modify the following line:
```
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=$SERVER_HOSTNAME
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
NOZEROCONF=yes
```
Where $SERVER_HOSTNAME should be modified in order to reflect the environments hosted on the server.
Run the following command to take the modification into account:
As root user
```
hostname $SERVER_HOSTNAME
```

In our example, the server hostnames should be modified as follows:
