Rust server hosting built for wipe day

Host a Rust server on Ryzen 9 CPUs with DDR5 RAM and NVMe storage. Run Oxide/uMod or Carbon plugins, handle wipes from the panel, and stay online under attack with DDoS protection.

The short answer

Rust server hosting runs a dedicated Rust survival server that your community joins. Rust is demanding: expect 8 GB of RAM or more, a CPU with strong single-core speed, and fast storage. Plugin frameworks such as Oxide/uMod and Carbon add admin tools, kits and custom rules.

Guide
Small servers start around 8 GB. Populated servers, large maps and many plugins usually need 12-16 GB or more.

Single-core speed

Rust's main server loop is largely single-threaded, so Ryzen 9 9950X clock speed helps keep FPS high.

NVMe for saves and maps

NVMe storage keeps map loads and saves fast, which shows on wipe day.

Console and RCON

Use the live console and your usual RCON tools to manage players and settings.

DDoS protection

Rust communities are frequent targets. Always-on DDoS protection is included.

How much RAM does a Rust server need?

Plan for 8 GB as a starting point for a small server, and 12-16 GB or more for a populated server with a larger map and plugins. Memory use grows with map size, entities and players.

Rust is limited by CPU as much as by memory, so a plan with fast cores and headroom beats the cheapest plan that merely fits.

Oxide, uMod and Carbon plugins

Oxide/uMod and Carbon are the common plugin frameworks. Upload plugins and data through the file manager, edit configs in the browser, and reload from the console.

Wipes, maps and seeds

Rust servers wipe on a schedule, and the official forced wipe usually lands on the first Thursday of the month. Change the map seed and size from your startup settings, take a backup first, and start the new wipe.

How to start your Rust server

  1. 1

    Pick a plan with headroom

    Start at 8 GB for small servers, and choose more for bigger maps and populations.

  2. 2

    Set map and rules

    Choose seed, size and server settings, then install your plugin framework.

  3. 3

    Start and wipe

    Start the server, and repeat the same flow on every wipe with a backup beforehand.

Rust hosting FAQ

How much RAM does a Rust server need?

Start at 8 GB for a small server. Populated servers with larger maps and plugins usually need 12-16 GB or more.

Can I run Oxide or Carbon plugins?

Yes. Upload plugins and configs through the panel file manager, then reload them from the console.

How do I wipe my server?

Take a backup, change the map seed or size if you want a new map, and restart. Official forced wipes usually fall on the first Thursday of the month.

Does CPU matter for Rust?

Yes. The server loop is largely single-threaded, so fast cores matter. Plans run on Ryzen 9 9950X cores.

Is there DDoS protection?

Yes, always-on DDoS protection is included on every plan.

Can I use RCON?

Yes. Use the panel console, or connect your usual RCON tool to the server.

Where is the server located?

In Frankfurt, Germany.
