<br>
I would like to setup a server that is for in house use only. This is<br>
not for outside use.<br>
<br>
So I'm trying to understand what is a good way to setup the hostname<br>
for the server.<br>
Do I use localhost?<br>
Do I use <a href="http://example.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">example.com</a>?<br>
<br>
Is there some other way to refer to something like a communication/info server?<br>
For this thinking maybe something like using the lan NAT address<br>
for the machine.<br>
<br>
I'm not even sure I'm asking the question 'right' and the 'web' is<br>
being singularly unhelpful!<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
