ServiceNow Instance Name

[kathymorris]

Hi All,

We are looking for a name for our ServiceNow instance where we are going to build new projects. (We already have Dev/Test, Prod). Does anyone have any ideas on a creative Name? 

Best,

Kathy

There's no authoritative "standard" but what Suresh said is pretty commonplace (except that I wouldn't use the actual suffix "prod" in the production instance) - and I've been around ServiceNow for over a decade. It all depends on your organization's needs. Since you don't like snow 😉 let's say your company name is Rainfall.   You would have at a minimum:

rainfall.service-now.com and rainfalldev.service-now.com

then you could add:

rainfallsandbox.service-now.com and/or rainfalltest.service-now.com

rainfallqa.service-now.com and/or rainfalluat.service-now.com

rainfalluatpreprod.service-now.com and/or rainfallstage.service-now.com

or as you said, if you have multiple dev teams mabe you want

rainfalldev1.service-now.com and rainfalldev2.service-now.com etc.

Whilst we also struggle with everyone else using Snow in short for ServiceNow, I was surprised to see ServiceNow themselves using it 😉. Eg: https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0952875

As refer https://www.servicenow.com/community/service-management-forum/how-to-verify-if-instance-is-configure... to see the output from ServiceNow to check if ADC is configured

"snow" is not the abbreviation for ServiceNow!!!! NEVER!

LOLOL... Well then, you better inform everyone working at ServiceNow too, because it is used everywhere internally.
