A hostname is the name of an address.

For example:

flesso.com - This is a hostname.
bob.flesso.com - This is a hostname.

So, basically, a hostname is an A record to cut it short, in the 'bob.flesso.com' example, 'bob' is the hostname.

So, the hostname in your case would be 'mail.kellyj.com'.

Just add the A record for 'mail.kellyj.com', and tell support that you want the hostname to be 'mail.kellyj.com'.

If thats all a bit confusing, I'm stupid, if not, I'm happy to help.
