# RemoteHostName

## Description

Returns the remote hosts name for the specified socket handle.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** This is the FQDN for the host.
{% endhint %}

## Remarks

Use this method to retrieve the remote host's machine name. This method can take a few seconds to execute, and is synchronous (will not return execution to your code until it is done). Calling this method on every connection in a multiple connection client or server can impact performance.
