    Probably I use the most boring method: a, b, c, ... , (never reached so far), x, y, z. :P

    Currently I use dragon-themed hostnames (FIRE, ICE, SHADOW, GOLD, NEST, WING, EYE, CLAW, etc...).

    For my old hosting company I used dogs breeds (dach for my main webserver since I owned a Dachshund at the time, labrador for my mail server, basset for my slow backup server).

  • I wondered what the naming theme was for those. Name one "Puff".

    LoL, we already have the whole nomenclature setup (even for servers we don't have yet). I wish I had some good names for our network devices but those are just SW, FW, and ROU. :(

    This thread had me look up our document and inspired me to update it. Hopefully my partner will like the proposed changes. :)

  • Я не русский ...

    @KuJoe how many names do you have planned?
    @Whitelabelhosting if the names work then wy change it?

    A friend of mine names his servers after nuclear reactors. One is called Borssele, one Tsjernobyl and to more I can't remember.. Quite funny to hear: "Yeah, Tsjernobyl crashed this morning, but its up and running now"

  • My dns nodes starts with a,e,i,o,u
    a > armour (asia), e- europe u - us i and o are ips from cpanel servers it self
    my storage nodes x,y,z called zombie (just storage) ,xray (rsync) , york (dbase)
    cpanel nodes casino, centro, (may be next cigar, column, cushion)
    direct admin node domino

    I think we have 12 or so. Pretty much all OpenVZ nodes are location-FIRE###, all Xen PV nodes are location-SHADOW###, all cPanel servers are location-ICE###, and all OpenVZ Backup VPS nodes are location-GOLD###. We also have a bunch of different names for internal servers (web, database, monitoring, VPN, Proxmox host, etc...).

    That's a cool naming scheme!

  • Volcanoes, there's a lot of them. Personal computers are all variations on thud, bang wallop etc.
