How to Change FiveM Server Name

Changing your FiveM server name is done by opening server.cfg in your hosting panel, locating sets sv_projectName, entering the name you want, saving the file, and restarting the server. For FiveM server owners and admins, the name shown to players in the server list or server browser is controlled by server settings, and sv_projectName is the display name players see alongside other server details.

These settings affect how your server is viewed in the server browser, and you can add colors to the name with ^ plus a number. This short guide covers accessing the configuration through the file manager or txAdmin, stopping the server, editing the cfg file in a text editor, saving the change, and starting it again so your community has a clear, recognizable identity.

To change your FiveM server name, follow the steps below:

1. Access the RocketNode Panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Files tab to access the configuration through the file manager, or use txAdmin as an alternative.

4. Open the server.cfg file in a text editor.

5. Locate and select the line sets sv_projectName, or use the CFG Editor in txAdmin to change sv_projectName.

6. Enter the desired name in the server name field or description area if shown; depending on your setup, you may also edit the sv_hostname line in server.cfg for the server name.

   

7. Hit Save Content and click Save File.

8. Restart the server so the changes apply.

Note: During startup or later edits, you can change your FiveM display name and description the same way.
