This is not a setting that can be changed in the config file.

A host comes in the form of nick!user@host.name

Where,
nick = the irc nickname
user = the username on your shell account
host.name = the hostname the bot is running on

This is a feature of the indentd program, that allows a server, to see exactly which user, is trying to contact it via a certain port.

Unless you admin is willing to disable the identd program, then you can't change it.

If he where to disable it, the name would be prefixed with a ~

EG
nick!~user@host.name

Which can't be removed.
