Overview

When hosting a Counter Strike: Global Offensive server, you may become tired of the default server name. Luckily, CSGO dedicated servers allow you to customize the server name that appears in-game. Whether you want your server to stand out in a list or simply have a fun name for players, this is all possible through the server settings. Changing these settings can be a bit confusing for unfamiliar players, so we have created this Apex Hosting guide to ease you through the setup process.
 

How to Change the Server Name

1. Navigate to the Apex Server Panel and stop the server.
2. Proceed to the Customizations tab on the left-hand side.
   
3. Under the Server Settings section, locate the Hostname field.
4. Replace the text field with your desired server name.
   
5. When complete, return to the main panel page and restart the server

 
The server should now start up with your chosen server name!
