Fully qualified hostname = hostname dot domainname e.g. meme <--- hostname

     me.com <--- domainname
     meme.me.com  <--- fully qualified hostname

To configure:
- configure host's domain name in the IP stack (usually the same place as where you specify the hostname) - add ip address + hostname + fully qualified hostname into the local hosts file, e.g.
165.148.53.109 meme meme.me.com
