Solaris Hostname

Hi,
I am installing Solaris 11.3 as a local system using no remote connections.
The installer asks for a computer name or would be used as the hostname.
Can I select any name ? Like solaris 11 or localhost ?
I noticed this is added into the /etc.hosts file later.

ie example. localhost

Code:
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost

Will this work for app on my computer that connects using a web browser ?
Or do I need to edit etc file /etc/file after installing ?

Code:
hxxp://localhost:5555/e

Thanks
