Question

What is FQDN hostname?

Answer

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN), sometimes also referred to as an absolute domain name, is a domain name that specifies its exact location in the tree hierarchy of the Domain Name System (DNS). It specifies all domain levels, including the top-level domain and the root zone. A fully qualified domain name is distinguished by its lack of ambiguity: it can be interpreted only in one way.

To setup FQDN, use any 3rd-party resource, for example, this article: Setup FQDN hostname on centos server
