Giving a hostname to a Zentyal server

A very easy way to name your Zentyal server is to use the following format when asked about a host name:

ServerName.DomainName.local

ServerName = The name of the server e.g. MyServer
DomainName = The domain name e.g. ElectricalServices

So in the above example the hostname would be: MyServer.ElectricalServices.local
