Server main domain as a virtual host?

Hi, I tried to setup (for example) myserver.com as a new account, but cPanel don't allow me to use the server's hostname as a domain. How to proceed? Or is there already a directory that I could use? I tried to put an index.html to /root/public_html, but it didn't show up in the browser when I navigated to myserver.com. What is this directory used for? Thanks! :)

  Hello :) Please ensure you follow the hostname guidelines: It is important to choose a hostname that you will not be using for any account. You should choose something that will be socially acceptable, as it will appear in all mail headers. Your hostname must be a FQDN. In English, a hostname should consist of a name and a domain name. All valid hostnames should have 2 dots in them. Hostnames should never begin with "www". Hostnames should also not begin with a digit, nor end with a hyphen ("-").
  Thank you.
