Host Name Specifies the IP address, DNS host name with domain name suffix, or the DNS host name that clients use to request a web application (.war) resource, such as a servlet, JSP file, or HTML page.

For example, when the host alias name is myhost, the DNS name is myhost:8080, where 8080 is the port. A URL refers to this DNS as: http://myhost:8080/servlet/snoop.

For existing instances, the default reflects the value specified at product setup. For new instances, the default can be * to allow any value or no specification.

The default reflects the value specified at product setup. The default might be 80, 81, 9080 or a similar value.
