Summary
In Counter-Strike: Source, the "hostname" refers to the server's name or title, displayed in the server browser, allowing players to identify and choose servers to join. Server administrators can customize the hostname to attract players or convey information about the server's content or rules. A well-chosen hostname can create a distinct server identity and attract a specific player base.
