Whether you're hosting epic wild west roleplay sessions or building a community for you and your mates, giving your RedM server a custom name and description helps it stand out. Not only does it make your server more recognizable, but it also gives players a quick peek into what your world is all about.
Your server name acts as your first impression—it can reflect your server’s theme, name your town, or highlight your community. Meanwhile, your server description is perfect for listing key features, unique rules, or just the overall vibe of your server.
The good news? Customizing both is super easy using txAdmin.
