    Just type "hostname" at the SSH prompt, without the quotes.

    You do not need to use the current hostname, you can specify anything really.

    You will just need to setup an A record for your chosen hostname and perhaps ask your host to setup reverse PTR records for you.

    cPanel also allows you to change the hostname at a later time from within WHM.
