Host a Rust server with full Oxide/Carbon mod support, up to 200-slot wipes, and the Ryzen 9 hardware that actually holds together during prime-time raids — where budget hosts fall apart.
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.”
Both, one-click. Carbon is the recommended choice for new servers — API-compatible with most Oxide plugins and measurably faster. Oxide is still supported for servers with plugins that haven't been ported.
200 is the practical cap on a single server. Communities that need more run clusters — multiple servers with shared data. Our Dedicated plan handles clustering.
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.
