When installing ejabberd, it asks about what Jabber domain (XMPP domain, virtual host, vhost, ...) you want ejabberd to serve. You can put: localhost

If the machine has a network name like server123, then put: server123

If you want the machine to serve Jabber clients from all Internet with a name like "marcus.com", then you need to get the domain name, configure the DNS, and in the ejabberd installer put: marcus.com

You can configure that value anytime later in ejabberd.cfg
