You don't want to edit plugin-cfg.xml manually (except in very rare cases). The hostnames in there come from the Aliases defined for the WebSphere Virtual Hosts.

By default, those usually have *:80, so changing the server domain name would require no changes at all. For instance:

<VirtualHostGroup Name="default_host">
  <VirtualHost Name="*:9080"/>
  <VirtualHost Name="*:80"/>
  <VirtualHost Name="*:9443"/>
  <VirtualHost Name="*:5060"/>
  <VirtualHost Name="*:5061"/>
  <VirtualHost Name="*:443"/>
</VirtualHostGroup>

If the WebSphere Virtual Host that your application is using does specify an Alias with a particular domain name, you just change the domain name there.
