Question
Renaming a droplet
- Posted April 7, 2014
Hi Folks,
When asked to give the droplet a name, the docs told me a droplet could be renamed later at any time. So now I want to do that I can’t find how to. Would somebody please tell me?

Today (2017) the interface enabling direct name change: at the page of your Cloud Panel (cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets…), simply click on the current name of the Droplet, and you will then be able to input whatever name you choose. Thanks @MikeG.
Make sure you also edit your droplet’s hostname internally as well. Update <code>/etc/hostname</code> and <code>/etc/hosts</code> and reboot.

If you are using CentOS you need to update this file /etc/sysconfig/network
Contents of this file:
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mydropletname.com
so just change HOSTNAME and that’s it
