After Droplet Rename, terminal still says "user@old-droplet-name"

I’ve renamed my droplet, shut it down via the terminal, and then started it back up using the Control Panel. When logging back in ssh, the terminal still lists the old droplet name.. like.. user@old-droplet-name: How can I change this?

Depending on your distro you can also use hostnamectl set-hostname

If anyone is wondering, you also have to change /etc/hosts file. Then restart your server
