I had yesterday a similiar problem with the dns server on same gui page: 
the settings where changed, but the gui still showed the old values. I 
had to logout an relogin or open a private browser tab and not only 
refresh the page (browser session had to be destoryed) , then the new 
value was show. Maybe it's the same problem with hostname.

Alternativ, you can run /root/network_settings.sh as root which will 
show a console gui to change hostname and ip-settings.

@Michael: my hosting provider resets my dns and I patch /etc/resolv.conf 
with a cronjob. I would write a perl-script which changes it over 
cceclient in a free minute. So I haven't do great debugging. But what I 
can say: cceclient shows correct new values, also the new servers are 
written to system (in my case /etc/resolv.conf). But $System contained 
the old values (tested it with print_r($System) in php-script. Maybe 
that helps. I'll send a ticket when I changed my cronjob to 
perl/cceclient and the problem still exists.
