You have to change it 2 locations
1. IIS7 Manager for the WebSite, Edit Bindings add a host header with eth name and port..
2. AAM Add an
http://YourName.DomaName.com and choose Intranet Zone http://CentralAdmin/_admin/AlternateUrlCollections.aspx
Or
Extend the WebApp to the extranet zone and enable anonymous authentication
http://centraladmin/_admin/extendwebfarm.aspx?WebApplicationId=
The second method Extend the WebApp is the best practice,
Unlike typical IIS Web applications, you cannot simply use IIS Manager or other IIS metabase tools to modify the bindings of IIS Web applications that have been extended with
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. If you modify the IIS bindings of a Web application by adding a host header binding or an SSL port, or by changing a port number, Office
SharePoint Server 2007 is not aware of these changes and does not update the Web application's alternate access mapping URLs. If you update the Web application's alternate access mappings to change a host header, switch to an SSL URL, or change a port number,
Office SharePoint Server 2007 will not automatically update your IIS bindings to match.
To update the
URL or IIS bindings of a Web application, you must unextend and re-extend the Web application, and reconfigure alternate access mapping URLs or IIS Web site bindings.

The real issue does not happen often: SharePoint can and sometimes will overwrite the IIS Metabase and you will have to enter your binding information again.
If you extend the the webApp then the correct Host Header and AAM settings are applied and the Host header will not be overwritten
