+       The hostname (<literal>networking.hostName</literal>) must now be a valid
+       DNS label (see RFC 1035) and as such must not contain the domain part.
+       This means that the hostname must start with a letter, end with a letter
+       or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, and
+       hyphen. The maximum length is 63 characters. Additionally it is
+       recommended to only use lower-case characters.
