Modifying the hostname of your Garry’s Mod server can significantly enhance its visibility and memorability among players. A well-chosen, descriptive hostname not only makes your server more distinctive but also serves as a beacon to attract additional players. It can communicate essential details such as the server’s geographical location, the game mode on offer, or the nature of the community it hosts. Furthermore, updating the hostname is a practical step in redefining the server’s identity following major changes to its content or gameplay dynamics.

Changing Your Server’s Name

1. Go to your Garry’s Mod Server Panel and make sure the server is off.
2. Navigate to File Manager > garrysmod > cfg.
3. Open server.cfg
4. Locate hostname and type the new name.

5. Save and Close the document.
6. Turn the server ON.
