The hostname command is not persistant across reboots - it never is, and never will be :) Assuming that that is what you are using...
/etc/hostname is where you should put it. There is no format to that file - just a one line hostname entry. That is a problem - if the hostname of the system is not resolvable by DNS or /etc/hosts, the system will hang until the DNS look at times out. So, if you use a host name which is not resolvable via DNS, make sure you put in entry in /etc/hosts for it so it can be found that way.
