The global server configuration is a complex area but you will be able to modify various aspects of the server services.

To modify the server configuration, follow these steps:

1. Click on the gear icon in the top menu.
2. Then, go to the **Configure** option.

The options that may be of most interest are as follows:

1. Within **Basic Options** you will find:
2. **Server Name:** this is the server's hostname.
3. **Timezone:** you can configure and synchronize the server's time.
4. **Theme:** you can modify the interface theme of **HestiaCP**.

3. The type of compression extension (zstd or gzip).
4. The directory where the backups will be stored.

   This is an FTP configuration.
