# How to Change Server Name on your VEIN server

Easily change your VEIN server name through Nodecraft’s Game Settings or Game.ini file. Customize your server’s identity, make it stand out in listings, and help players recognize and join your community faster.

Your **VEIN** server’s name is what players see when browsing or connecting to your server. Giving it a unique and descriptive name helps your community stand out and makes it easier for players to find and join.

For public servers, choose a name that reflects your theme or gameplay style. For private servers, use a clear name so friends can recognize it easily.

## How to Change via Game Settings

1. Locate your **Nodecraft** dashboard and open your **VEIN** server panel.
2. Click **Stop** to safely shut down your server.
3. Navigate to the **Game Settings** tab.
4. Locate the **Server Name** field.

5. Enter your desired server name.
6. Click **Save Changes**.
7. Restart your server by clicking **Start**.

Once your server is running again, your new name will appear in the in-game server list and when players search for it directly.

## How to Change via Server Files (Manually)

1. Locate your **Nodecraft** dashboard and open your **VEIN** server panel.
2. Click **Stop** to safely shut down your server.
3. Navigate to the **Server Files** tab.
4. Open the following directory: `/Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer`
5. Locate and open the `Game.ini` file.
6. Find the line labeled **Server Name**.

7. Change to desired server name.
8. Click **Save.**
9. **Start** the Server.

## Troubleshooting

If your server's name doesn’t update or display correctly:

- **Server Name Didn’t Change**

  - Make sure the new name was saved in the **Game Settings** tab.
  - Restart your server after saving changes to apply the update.
- **Server Not Showing in List**

  - Confirm that your server is **online** and has started successfully.
  - Check that your internet connection and any **firewall** settings aren’t blocking the game.
- **Name Too Long or Invalid**

  - Try using a shorter name with only standard letters, numbers, or spaces.
  - Avoid using unsupported special characters or symbols.

If issues persist, you can always revert to your previous server's name or contact Nodecraft support for assistance.

## Conclusion

Changing your VEIN server’s name is a quick and simple way to personalize your world or brand your community. Whether you’re running a public hub or a private survival group, a clear and memorable name helps players connect and return easily.
