How to Change Your Operation: Harsh Doorstop Server Name
Learn how to change the name displayed in the server browser for your Operation: Harsh Doorstop server.
The server name (hostname) is what players see when browsing for servers in the Operation: Harsh Doorstop multiplayer menu. A clear, descriptive name helps players find your server and sets expectations before they join. The name appears in both the in-game server browser and on third-party server list websites like Battlemetrics.

Log in to the XGamingServer panel and stop your Operation: Harsh Doorstop server.
Go to Startup
In the sidebar, click Startup.
Enter your server name
Find the Server Name field and enter your desired name.
Restart your server
Start your server for the new name to take effect.
Your server will now appear with the new name in the server browser.
Server Naming Tips
A well-named server attracts the right players and helps your community grow:
- Include the game mode — Players look for specific modes, so
AAS - Anviloyis more useful than justMy Server - Add your region — Players want low-ping servers, so
[US East]or[EU]helps them choose - Mention your community — If you have a clan or group, include the name for recognition
- Keep it readable — Avoid excessive symbols or ALL CAPS. Clean names look more professional in the browser
Example names:
[US East] AAS - Anviloy | XGaming Community[EU] Skirmish | Casual Tactical | New Players Welcome[AU] AAS - All Maps Rotation | 40 Slots
Alternative: Setting the Name in Game.ini
You can also set the server name directly in the configuration file, although the Startup parameter will take priority if both are set:
Stop your server
Stop the server from the panel.
Open Game.ini
Navigate to Files → HarshDoorstop/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ → Game.ini.
Add or edit the server name
Add or modify the following under the appropriate section:
[/Script/HarshDoorstop.HDGameMode]
ServerName=Your Server Name HereSave and restart
Click Save and restart your server.
💡 Tip: Your server name is separate from the server password and admin configuration. Changing the name doesn't affect who can join or manage the server.
