What naming convention do you use with multiple releases on one server?

We have a MS 2016 Epicor server and a MS SQL 2016 database server. On the Epicor server we have 4 “application servers” running in EAC: EpicorERP, EpicorERPPilot, EpicorERPTest, EpicorERPTrain (each of these running 10.2.100.15).

I am looking to add 10.2.300.x to this same Epicor server and curious if any standard convention exists when having multiple release versions running on one Epicor server (e.g. EpicorERP10_2_300Pilot).

I am a big proponent of separating your production server from test, pilot, edu. It is best to do this because if you do run into any major issues through testing you will not be affecting your production environment. You are also committing all the resources of your production server for your production environment and not other app servers like test.
