Hostname problem

When i set up freebsd it asks for a valid host name. Im not to clear on what it is but from what i can figure out, i think it means the hostname (whatever.com) has to exist? So i want to do something like box1.whatever.com but i dont have the hostname set up because i only have 1 machine so far.... If anyone understands what im asking, would you please help me out with some info or a link to some info. Thanks a lot!
