If it needs to be changed, we have a solution for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DirectAdmin hostname change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A server administrator who uses DirectAdmin can change the server&#8217;s hostname. An IP address that resolves to a legitimate hostname is the server&#8217;s IP address. To confirm that it is at that address. Make an A record for a subdomain that points to the IP address of the DirectAdmin server, such as srv02.domain.com. Here, we&#8217;ll go over how to rename a host using DirectAdmin.<\/p>\n<p>To begin with, log in to the DirectAdmin control panel using the admin credentials. Go to the page marked &#8220;Administrator Settings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the &#8220;Administrator Settings&#8221; page, scroll down to the &#8220;Server Settings&#8221; section.
