Symptoms

The hostname on an OVH server resets at reboot.

Description

The hostname reset is likely due to the cloud-init module being enabled.

Workaround

Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
Open the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file in your preferred text editor.
Change the preserve_hostname value to true.
```
preserve_hostname: true
```
Change the manage_etc_hosts value to false.
```
manage_etc_hosts: false
```
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
