The hostname you set in Fedora is something you can choose freely. But be aware that the DNS should know that name. The hostname in long format - too calle FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) - is something like i.e. fedoraserver.domain.com. The short form of the hostname (output from "hostname -s") is then fedoraserver. In /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME= should be set to the long format. Take care that /etc/hosts contains a valid entry for that name. Again, name resolution from another host will only work if DNS is populated correctly. Besides the fedoraserver.domain.com you can have another DNS entry www.domain.com, which is often used to indicate that a HTTP service is running. Though such a name entry isn't required.
