Using a text editor like nano

Code:
sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/network
Modify the HOSTNAME= value to match your FQDN hostname.

Code:
HOSTNAME=yoruserver.domain.com
For internal networking, find at at /etc/hosts to change the host that is associated with the main IP address for your server

Code:
127.0.0.1      localhost localhost.localdomain
123.25.57.79   yoruserver.domain.com   hostname
Restart networking on your server to ensure that changes will be affected
Code:
/etc/init.d/network restart
