   As things stand with this, copying to clipboard in browsers is a horrible art. Most solutions involve Flash so I'm very reluctant to do down this route.

   Something we might be able to do - and have been taking about - is lower the refresh rate to something a little less frantic. The only other simple alternative would be to have a button that opens the hostname in an alert or popup of some sort so you could then copy and paste from there.

   Have you seen Clipboard.js?

   Simple example:

   <html>
     <head>
       <title>Clipboard Test</title>
       <script src="bower_components/clipboard/dist/clipboard.min.js"></script>
     </head>
     <body>
       <span id="hostname">vm01.stfc.ac.uk</span> <button id="copy" data-clipboard-target="#hostname">Copy</botton>
       <script>
         new Clipboard('#copy');
       </script>
     </body>
   </html>
