# Hostname `host`

The `host` section displays the hostname of the current machine.

By default, it's displayed only when the machine is connected via SSH (`$SSH_CONNECTION` is not empty).

## Always displaying hostname

If you want the hostname to be always displayed, set the `SPACESHIP_HOST_SHOW` option to `always`.

```zsh title=".zshrc"
# This sets host to be always displayed
SPACESHIP_HOST_SHOW="always"
```

## Displaying full hostname

By default, the hostname is displayed in a short form (`%m`). If you want to see the full information (`%M`), set the `SPACESHIP_HOST_SHOW_FULL` option to `true`.

```zsh title=".zshrc"
# This displays the full information about the hostname
SPACESHIP_HOST_SHOW_FULL=true
```
