I can never think of names for servers and leaving the same old hostname gets so old !!!

sb
sb1
etc

I prefer 2 or 3 letter hostnames…just makes it easier to deal with when calling them via hostname.domain.tld

I do the exact thing. I try to keep it at 3. If I am getting DC specific and/or node specific, then I name as sb1-tor1… or sb2-fr3. etc.

I use aliases x) but yeah domains can be rather long

#6

I use the noble gasses :slight_smile: krypton, radon, neon and xeon are all being used at the minute

If anyone ever doesn’t know what to name their server, I take the digits in the last subnet and correlate to a pokemon number and use that as a name. You’d be surprised at how many people can come up with a name after you tell them you’ll be naming it after a pokemon if they don’t choose :smiley:

Just luck of the draw. i.e. *.*.*.134 = Pokemon 134 aka vaporeon.

Now if I ever get bored, I’ll just pull them straight from that list :smiley:
