How to Change Your CS:GO Server Name
How to set the hostname displayed in the CS:GO/CS2 server browser — via panel or config file.
The hostname is what players see when browsing for your server.
Open Startup settings
In the XGamingServer Panel, click Startup in the sidebar.
Change the hostname
Find the Server Name or Hostname variable and type your new name.
Restart
Go to Console and restart your server.
In Files, navigate to csgo/cfg/server.cfg and add or edit:
hostname "My CS:GO Server"Save and restart.
💡 Tip: The hostname supports basic color codes using HTML-style tags in some Source engine builds, but CS:GO/CS2 largely ignores them in the browser.
