Actually it's VERY confusing to set it to the hostname of the host where 
vboxshell is running, if one uses it to talk to the webservice API on a 
different system. So it's probably a starting point, but not the final 
word on this topic.

Anyway, vboxshell is more a big piece of sample code than a true 
production ready python shell for controlling VirtualBox...
