    Most of the time the hostname section is just for reference, what is the website you're buying from? I can check for you.

    A FQDN is a fully qualified domain name and, in this case, you would use something like server.yourwebsite.com. Basically your host name for your server.

    anythinghere.hostname.tld

    Yes, a hostname is required. It can be anything you want, however it is recommended to use something that will be accessible (EX; don't use google's domain).
