Nice way to separate between your terminals by it’s name not IP Address.

the default way, when you open SSH Terminal using Putty (or any other Communication program like kitty) The IP Address of the server
will be shown on the top of the terminal like the following Image:

All of us agreed that the numbers are difficult than the Name, so what’s your opinion if we write the name of the server on the Top of the terminal
like the following Image :

to do that, just write the following line on “/etc/profile” to appear to all users or on your Home Directory Profile “$HOME/.profile” to be shown with you only.

echo "\033]0;VIO\007"

and religion again to the server and see the difference.

you can change word “VIO” by anything you want
