First you have to create an A record for your domain and point it to the Droplet’s IP address. Let’s say your domain is server.example.com.
Edit the /etc/hostname file and change the hostname to server.example.com. One you have done that, reboot your server to use the new hostname. You can reboot the server by running the command:
reboot
Do you mean FQDN, because for the droplets the hostname is the name of the droplet?
