Post your script over here and we'll look into it.
If you do not have a script ready, then try writing one first and then post it over here if you get stuck.

Are you willing to rename files ?
or do you just want to generate a list of modified filename in it ?

for file in *
do
   sed "s/Hosts/Server/g" $file > tmpfile && mv tmpfile $file
done
