Thanks for your feedback!
So both addresses are unambiguous. For what reason now would I need a
FQDN? Why wouldn't a domain name suffice?
What happens when you want/need to add another machine ?
I use the domain solely for private purposes and I will probably never
need more than two or three servers. In fact I currently administer two
servers which one domain name for each server. Of course if I were a
company and I had 500 servers I would probably use subdomains instead of
registering a domain for each server.
Allowing a hostname to also be the domain name can cause problems.
I have searched extensively for disadvantages of using a domain name
instead of a FQDN but could not find anything. What kind of concrete
problems can occur?
Cheers, Stefan
