    ispconfig 3

    All my sites of my server is OK.
    I would like to change my hostname because the hostame is not a website.
    I read this to change:
    Code:
    Change the hostname in
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/hostname
    /etc/mailname
    /etc/postfix/main.cf
    and then reboot the server. 
    Is there a change on virtualhost of my website.

    Don't forget to change the DNS PTR Record of your IP as well: how to make that?

    If you mean the ISPConfig panel vhost, there isn't a ServerName set in it (currently), so nothing to set there.

    Generally your ISP/vhost provider would have some way to set it or contact them with what you want it set to.

    And for all of my websites which is OK,is there a change in virtuahost and the port?

    I have my own dedicated server. Is that for server.example1.com with A record?
