A fast Rust server host, independent since 2018.
A Rust server loads a whole map, thousands of buildings and your plugins. As a Rust server host, we run DDR4 ECC memory, high-frequency processors and NVMe storage, with anti-DDoS in front of every server. Your server runs in Marseille, Frankfurt, New York, Beauharnois or Sydney, close to your players for low latency. Support 24/7.

Rust server rental costs from $6.92 to $28.98 a month depending on size: Start 8 GB, Plus 12 GB, Pro 16 GB and Ultra 32 GB. The price includes Oxide and Carbon, Rust+, external RCON, anti-DDoS, backups and support. For cheap Rust server hosting with friends, the Start plan is enough.
Free Rust server hosting exists, but it usually comes with little memory, sleep mode or a time limit. Rust needs at least 8 GB to run well. Our Start plan begins at $6.92 a month, with no commitment.
Pick a plan and a country, then pay. The server installs itself in a few minutes. Then set the framework, map size and player count in the OuiPanel settings and restart.
In the server settings on OuiPanel, choose oxide or carbon in the FRAMEWORK list, then restart. The framework installs on startup. Your plugins then go in its folder, through the file manager or SFTP.Read the Oxide and Carbon guide →
In the OuiPanel console, type ownerid followed by your SteamID64, then server.writecfg to save it. Reconnect to the server and the in-game F1 console gives you the admin commands.Read the admin commands guide →
Take a backup, stop the server and delete the map files in the server folder. A new map is generated on restart. For a blueprint wipe, also delete the blueprint database.Read the wipe guide →
Yes, thanks to automatic updates on restart. On the first Thursday of the month, restart the server once the update is out, or schedule a restart. Oxide or Carbon plugins sometimes wait for their own update.
Yes. The server has a port reserved for Rust+, the Facepunch companion app. Players pair the server from the in-game pause menu, then follow their base and team chat on their phone.
Yes, the server has an RCON port for these tools. The port is shown on the OuiPanel Network page and the RCON password in the server settings.
On your PC, the server stops when you turn it off, and Rust takes a good share of your memory and connection. A hosted Rust server runs 24/7 behind anti-DDoS, and players can join even when you're away.
Facepunch recommends 12 GB for a standard-size map, which is the Plus plan. 8 GB is enough for a small map with friends. A big map or lots of plugins need 16 to 32 GB.
It depends on map size, buildings and plugins. We suggest up to 30 players on Start, 30 to 75 on Plus, 75 to 125 on Pro and more on Ultra. You set the maximum in the settings.
The size goes from 1000 to 6000 with the WORLD_SIZE variable. Count 2000 to 3000 for a small group and 3500 to 4500 for a community server. The bigger the map, the more memory the server needs.
Yes. PvE mode is turned on with the server.pve command, or with an Oxide or Carbon plugin for finer rules. For a private server, set up a whitelist with a plugin.
Open the F1 console in Rust and type client.connect followed by the server address and port, shown in OuiPanel. The server can also show up in the in-game server list, but that depends on Steam, so we can't guarantee it.
No. Our servers run Rust on PC, the Steam version. Rust Console Edition on PS5 and Xbox uses other servers, which we don't offer.
In France (Marseille), Germany (Frankfurt), the United States (New York), Canada (Beauharnois) and Australia (Sydney), except the Ultra plan, which isn't available in Australia. The price is the same everywhere. Pick the country closest to your players for low-latency Rust hosting.
The best Rust server hosting gives you enough memory for your map, anti-DDoS protection, NVMe storage, Oxide or Carbon, Rust+ and RCON access, and lets you switch plans without losing your world. Our four plans tick all of that, from $6.92 to $28.98 a month.
For most servers, a game plan is enough. The server installs itself and is managed from OuiPanel. If you want root access or several servers on the same machine, a Rust VPS is the better fit.See the Rust VPS →
From OuiPanel, in one click or on a schedule, every night for example. Start keeps 2 backups, Plus 3, Pro 10 and Ultra 20. Restoring takes one click.
Yes. Moving up a plan resizes your server without reinstalling or losing data, in the same country.
