Rust server hosting with 5,000+ Oxide/Carbon plugins, up to 200-player capacity, automated wipe scheduling, custom map support (RustMaps, procedural, Hapis, Craggy, Barren), visual server.cfg editor, and Ryzen 9 7950X/9950X CPUs that maintain stable tick rates during 150-slot prime-time raids.
Transparent pricing for Rust server hosting. All plans include NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and our modern panel.
Our modified Pterodactyl panel gives you everything you need to manage a dedicated game server from any device.
Every server you run, on one screen. Live CPU, RAM, network, and player counts update in real time — no refresh, no terminal, no hunting through tabs. Start, stop, or restart any instance with a single click.
13 data centers across 5 continents. Pick the location closest to your players at checkout — switch anytime.
Rust is Facepunch's long-running PvP survival phenomenon — and one of the most hardware-punishing games on PC. You spawn naked, build a base, gather resources, and defend what you have against everyone else on the server. Monthly forced wipes keep the meta fresh; biweekly wipes are community standard. PC Rust supports up to 200 players on a single server; larger communities cluster multiple servers.
Rust's modding scene is huge and mature. Oxide (uMod) has been the standard for years with thousands of plugins; Carbon is the newer, faster alternative with better performance and broad Oxide plugin compatibility. Our Rust template installs either with one click. Workshop map support covers procedural maps (default), hand-crafted maps (Hapis, Craggy, Barren), and community custom maps uploaded via RustMaps.com or shared .map files.
Rust is the single most CPU-demanding survival server we run. AI, projectile simulation, base decay, entity counts, and plugin execution all tick on the main thread — which will saturate a single core on anything slower than a top-tier Ryzen chip. Our 7950X / 9950X nodes stay stable during 150-slot raid-night scenarios where communities raid each other simultaneously. RAM: 16 GB for 100-slot servers, 24–32 GB for full 200-slot wipes with plugin stacks.
“Setup was instant. I was uploading my world within two minutes of checkout.”
“Latency from the EU node is under 30ms for my whole squad. Zero rubber-banding even on intense sessions.”
“Support actually knows the games. Had a config issue resolved in 20 minutes at 2am.”
“Backups saved a 200-hour save after a mod broke it. One-click restore, worth the plan by itself.”
“Panel is miles better than what I was on before. I don't even miss SFTP.”
“Switching between games without paying again is the feature I didn't know I needed.”
Over 5,000+ Oxide/Carbon plugins available including ZoneManager, Economics, GUIShop, Kits, Clans, Teleportation, Raid Tracker, and Auto Doors. One-click installation via the panel's plugin browser with automatic dependency resolution and update notifications. Popular plugin bundles (PvP, PvE, RP) pre-configured.
Yes. The panel includes a visual server.cfg editor with controls for: server identity, description, URL, header image, map size (1000-6000), seed, world type, tickrate, save interval, player cap, PVP toggle, decay settings, radiation, and admin authentication. No manual file editing required unless you want advanced customization.
Both, one-click installation. Carbon is recommended for new servers — API-compatible with 95%+ of Oxide plugins, 30-40% faster plugin execution, and better memory management. Oxide/uMod still supported for legacy servers with non-ported plugins. Switch between frameworks anytime from the panel.
200-player official cap. Practical performance limits: 50-75 players on Standard plans, 100-150 on Pro, 150-200 on Dedicated with 24-32GB RAM and Ryzen 9 CPUs. Communities needing 200+ concurrent players run clustered servers with shared data/teleportation via Oxide/Carbon clustering plugins.
Facepunch pushes forced map wipes on the first Thursday of each month. Biweekly or weekly wipes are community convention. The panel has scheduled-task automation for wipes: wipe map, reset BP (or not), restart, post to Discord — all one task.
Yes. Paste a RustMaps URL or upload a .map file via the panel; we configure the server.cfg level.url parameter. Procedural maps with custom seeds work identically.
No. Rust Console Edition is a completely separate game with no PC crossplay and no third-party server hosting. We run PC Rust only.
Rust's main thread handles AI, projectiles, physics, base decay, and all plugin execution — and it scales poorly with core count. Single-thread performance and large L3 cache (7950X3D shines here) are the bottleneck. Budget CPUs tick-hitch at 50+ slots.
