@lo98be I just used it as an example, at my work we have the domain ".isc.ac.uk", I just went with that :)
Building a website for a client. Asked what URL they would like for the domain name...
Their reply:
Here's a quickie that grinds my gears.
When a piece of software asks me for the a hostname but expects a fqdn and when the bloody thing automatically fills in a fqdn into the hostname field!
doesmyheadin.my.domain
HOSTNAME = doesmyheadin
DOMAINNAME = my.domain
FQDN = doesmyheadin.my.domain
If I'm wrong about this I fully accept it, but these are the standards I've been using which to me make perfect sense!
Bloody nonsensical bullshit modifiers.
undefined
hostname
fqdn
domain
