How do I assign a Friendly name to my Dedicated Server?

This FAQ will help you to change the Friendly name on your Dedicated Server.

The below instructions will allow you to give your server a friendly name. A friendly name allows you to mask the IP address with a different name which is easier to remember, and also allows you to know at a glance which server you are looking at.
