Setting the hostname: FQDN or short name?

It's thought that for the hostname should be used FQDN. I have a doubts about whether using:
host.domain.ltd
and
domain.ltd
for the hostname is the same thing and will be equally correct / acceptable?
I'm willing to use domain.ltd for the hostname.
Is it alright?
