# How to Change Your FiveM Server Name and Description

Update your FiveM server name and description to attract more players and improve your server’s visibility in the browser.

Customizing your FiveM server’s name and description is a great way to attract players and communicate key details about your server. A unique, descriptive name helps your server stand out, while a detailed description highlights its features, rules, and overall atmosphere, making it easier for players to find and connect with the type of community they’re looking for. Check out the steps below for a walkthrough of how to edit these particular settings on your Nodecraft FiveM game server!

**Note: Be sure that your FiveM server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!**

## Using Your Control Panel

1. Log in to your **Nodecraft Control Panel**.
2. Navigate to the **Game Settings** tab.
3. Click on the **Server Listing** tab.
4. Locate the **Server Name** field and the **Server Description** field.
5. Enter in your desired server name and description within these fields.
6. Click **Submit**.
7. **Start** your server!

Now that you’ve updated these settings, your server is ready to make a strong first impression!
