Can I rename a droplet in DigitalOcean?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:28 pm

In short, yes. Provided that the droplet has not been deleted, renamed droplets can be created by entering the droplet’s name into the droplet creation form again. To rename a droplet, first access the droplet’s details page. Under “Name”, enter the new name for the droplet.

PRO TIP: If you attempt to rename a droplet in DigitalOcean, the process may fail and the droplet may become unresponsive.

Click “Create Droplet”. DigitalOcean will then create a new droplet with the new name.
