The Server I Rented Won't Accept any Server Names

I rented a server for one day on my Xbox One X, but a message pops up: "ERROR APPLYING CONFIGURATION: Invalid server name, please try a different name." After coming up with different names, adding a description, applying a password, and a combination of all of these actions, the message keeps coming back. I cannot start the server without editing it and says it is "pending." I even restarted the game and restarted the console to no avail. Is there a solution to this problem? If not, can I at least get my $2.99 back, please?

    Hello there, 

    We have done some backend changes, can you take a look again and see how it works out for you. 

    Thanks!

    Are you getting an invalid or ineligible account login error?
    Try resetting your EA Account password, and make sure that the platform you’re trying to use is connected to your EA Account. To do this:

    Click the Log In button at the top of any help.ea.com page.
    Click on the Accounts dropdown in the middle of the screen, then choose Account Security.
    Go to the About Me tab.
    Scroll down to Connected Accounts. If you don’t see your platform, it isn’t linked.

    I am not getting an invalid account login error.

    I have reset my password and my account is already linked to Xbox Live.

    I have the same issue on a server I have rented for a year. I talked by phone with support and they could not do anything to help. It seemed to be outsourced support and they have no access to the servers. Everything worked great until last week but now I can't make any changes to the server. My account is linked to MS and all settings are as I suggested in my answer to you. I'm getting frustrated.

    I have this issue too and cannot access my server too. 

    A friend of mine had this issue and manage to get in, but it looks to be very random. What he did is go to his server, change up whatever options/rules you want on the server to be, and hope for the best. If you got the issue, then you would just sit on the screen (invalid server name screen) and try again after some time has passed. I cannot say this will work for certain since I was unable to do it, but it might work for others.

    @Blinddoc1960 Sorry to hear that. I imagine it's upsetting to see the server work and then suddenly not. Hopefully, you did most of the things you wanted to do on your server. It is interesting that this seems to be a recent issue, which is a shame since I finally tried getting the broken bottle. Guess I'll never get that, but at least I got refunded from Xbox.

    @d3mac43 Huh, that's interesting. I have definitely done what you said, but more out of frustration than an expectation of fixing it. I already got refunded on my server that already expired, so I don't want to renew to test this, again. But if someone else resolved this issue by what you said, I might rent a longer-lasting server.
