How to change your Rust server name

The name players see in the Rust server browser is the Server name setting (server.hostname) in your server's server.cfg.

1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your Rust server.
2. Select the Configuration tab.
3. In the list on the left, select server.cfg ("Server name, listing, rules and performance"). On General you can also select Edit in server.cfg in the notice at the top.
4. In the Server group, change Server name. Use up to 60 characters on one line.
5. Select Save and restart to apply it now, or Save to apply it at the next restart. See Change a setting.

Server name is tagged Applied at start: the dashboard keeps it in your startup settings and writes it into server.cfg every time the server starts. Change it on the Configuration tab as above. If you edit server.cfg in the Files tab instead, your change is overwritten at the next start.

tip

• The pencil next to the server's name at the top of the page (Rename server) only changes the name in your dashboard. Players don't see it. See Rename the server.
• A scheduled wipe sets the server name at every wipe. If you use one, change the Server name after the wipe there too.
