"HTTP Request Defaults" is a very basic and key element of JMeter. This config element is used when all requests in your JMeter script are being sent to the same server. You can add a single HTTP Request Defaults element under Test Plan with the proper server name or IP address in the field "Server Name or IP". Now, when you add HTTP Request controllers, then leave the "Server Name or IP" field empty. The controllers will inherit this field value from the HTTP Request Defaults element. Make sure you have provided correct method type in each HTTP Request.

I have added HTTP Request Defaults under Test Plan:
Then added all the HTTP Request Samplers like this:
The Result is:
Advantages:
1. It makes JMeter script simple and easily maintainable. If server name or IP changes, then you do not need to change those details in each HTTP Request. Just make changes in HTTP Request Defaults and that will be applicable for all the HTTP Requests.
2. It reduces the chances of missing the URL/port changes from HTTP Requests
3. It also avoids data duplication
