Its a very simple task,

login to your ssh with root account via putty etc.

now fire this command

hostname

it will show you your current host name or server name,

now fire this command to change the server name,

hostname set.yourhostname.com

replace set.yourhostname.com with your desired host name.

now just restart your linux centos VPS by this command

reboot

or restart network only by this command

service network restart
