A Windchill system is an enterprise resource, much like a mail server, directory, or corporate intranet web server. As such, it is good practice to give the system its own host name alias. This allows the system to move to different hosts or even to different networks, without affecting user bookmarks or email links that already exist.

The host names for your Windchill system are set up during installation. For host details, see Using a URL to Access Windchill.
