You can set your droplet’s FQDN by running the following commands: <br> <br>nano /etc/sysconfig/network <br> <br>Edit it so that it looks like this: <br> <br>HOSTNAME=“ns1.mydomain.com” <br> <br>Edit /etc/hosts and add a line that looks like this: <br> <br>127.0.0.1 ns1.mydomain.com ns1 <br> <br>If there’s a line with both “localhost” and “ns1”, delete “ns1” from that line. <br> <br>Finally, reboot your droplet.
