This means that you have no ssl_session_cache configured, see
http://nginx.org/r/ssl_session_cache.

While "No" here may be caused by "ssl_session_tickets off", the
"INTOLERANT" here suggests there is something to do with your
OpenSSL library. By default, session tickets are supported and
should work fine as long they are supported by the OpenSSL library
used.

The "Server hostname" as reported by SSL Labs test is a result of
a reverse DNS lookup of your server IP address. You have to
edit reverse DNS zone (or, more likely, ask your provider to) if
you want to change it.
