How to Set the Name and Description of Your BeamNG.drive (BeamMP) Server

Your server's Name and Description are the first things players see when browsing the public BeamMP multiplayer server list. A unique server name and informative description help your server stand out and attract players to your drifting, racing, or roleplay community.

This guide will show you how to set and customize your BeamMP server name and description on Cubes Hosting.

Method 1: Via Game Panel Startup Parameters (Recommended)

1. Log in to your Cubes Hosting Game Panel and select your BeamMP server.
2. Navigate to Configuration > Startup Parameters on the left menu.
3. Locate the following input fields:
   • Server Name: Enter your custom server title (e.g. Cubes Hosting | 24/7 Drift & Freeroam EU).
   • Server Description: Enter a short summary of your server rules, maps, or game mode.
4. Changes are saved automatically.

Method 2: Via ServerConfig.toml (File Manager)

If you prefer editing configuration files directly:

1. Open the File Manager on the left sidebar.
2. Click on ServerConfig.toml to edit it.
3. Locate the Name and Description settings under the [General] section:

   [General]
   Name = "Cubes Hosting | 24/7 Freeroam & Crash"
   Description = "Welcome to our BeamMP server! Custom maps, active police RP, and low latency."
   

4. Click Save Content.

Step 3: Restart Your Server

1. Go to your server Console and click Restart.
2. Refresh the BeamMP server browser in-game to see your new title and description displayed!

Best Practices for Server Titles

• Include Game Mode Tags: Specify if your server is focused on Drift, Freeroam, Police RP, Drag Racing, or Trucking.
• Include Region & Language: Adding tags like [EU], [US], or [ENG/NL] helps local players find low-latency servers.
• Keep Titles Clean: Avoid excessive emojis or unreadable symbols so your server name renders properly in the BeamMP browser.

Conclusion

Customizing your BeamMP server name and description takes less than a minute. Edit your settings in Startup Parameters or ServerConfig.toml, restart your server, and start building your driving community!
