Changing NIS domain name more info

I'm wondering how the NIS domain name actually gets set.
I don't see a reference to domain name when running the script.

hostnameofmachine# ypinit -m

In order for NIS to operate sucessfully, we have to construct a list of the
NIS servers. Please continue to add the names for YP servers in order of
preference, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>
or a return on a line by itself.
        next host to add: hostnameofmachine
      
      I want the domain name to be something other than the host name of the
machine.

I also noticed this file

/var/yp/binding/hostnameofmachine/ypservers

which contains the name of the NIS domain which I think gets created
after running ypinit -m????
