# How To Change Your Eco Server Name (/docs/eco/change-server-name)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

The server name is what players see in the multiplayer browser. A clear, descriptive name helps players find your server and sets expectations about your community.

Change the Server Name [#change-the-server-name]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Stop your server [#stop-your-server]

    In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), go to **Console** and stop your server.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Open Network.eco [#open-networkeco]

    Click **Files** in the sidebar, navigate to the **Configs** folder, and open `Network.eco`.

    {/* Screenshot needed: File Manager showing Network.eco */}
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Edit the name [#edit-the-name]

    Find the `Name` field and change its value:

    ```json
    "Name": "My Eco Server"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    (Optional) Add a description [#optional-add-a-description]

    While you're in the file, you can also set a description shown when players select your server:

    ```json
    "Description": "Friendly community server | No griefing | Active admins"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Save and start [#save-and-start]

    Click **Save Content** and start the server from **Console**. The new name appears in the browser once the server finishes loading.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Naming Tips [#naming-tips]

A well-chosen server name attracts the right players:

| Tip                                                              | Why                               |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Include your region** — `[US East]`, `[EU]`, `[AU]`            | Players look for low-ping servers |
| **Mention your playstyle** — `Casual`, `Hardcore`, `No Griefing` | Sets expectations                 |
| **Add your community name**                                      | Brand recognition                 |
| **Keep it readable** — avoid ALL CAPS and excessive symbols      | More inviting                     |

Examples [#examples]

* `[US East] Green Planet | Casual | No Griefing`
* `[EU] Eco Builders United | Active Admins`
* `[AU] Meteor Rush | Hardcore | 30 Day Meteor`

Public vs Private Visibility [#public-vs-private-visibility]

The server name only matters in the browser if your server is public:

```json
"PublicServer": true
```

Set this to `false` if you want a private server that players can only join via [direct connect](/docs/eco/connect-to-your-server).

> The server name is purely cosmetic — changing it does not affect your world, player data, or any other settings. Change it as often as you like.
