There is a bit more too it, often a bit more needs changing. And there is already a manual in this section you're posting to.

Thread '[How-To] Create or change your server's hostname in Directadmin'

This is a guide on how to create a correct FQDN hostname on a sever or VPS.
I created this newly here in this section, for easier reference and it's also easier to find.

There is also another method, but the method described here is another method which is also still very usable.

Before you install Directadmin you can already take care the correct hostname is used bij Directadmin.

The domain mydomain.com is used her as example and 192.168.0.1 as example server ip. Ofcourse replace all examples with the domain or hostname your are using. So don't use 192.168.0.1 in the real situation...

Follow the manual I pointed to. It's a step by step manual, should be not too hard.
You can start by changing it in DA itself like in the docs pointed to in the first answer. That should do a lot of good already and is very very easy to do.

If things missing, then please ask in the general section of the forum (not the guides section) and check the guide I pointed to for further reference.

Does anyone know the easiest way to do it? I am not a computer science guy.

What has been said by @Richard G is the most simple way. And easy to follow so just follow the link.

If you do not have any certificates or settings done yet than this would work:

Login on DirectAdmin
Menu -> Server Manager -> Server Settings
Fill in yournew.hostname.tld

But if you encounter problems you still need to check for some solutions in the link @Richard G already mentioned.
