Your map, your seed, your size

Pick a procedural map, Barren, or a custom map by URL, set the seed (or keep the random one the panel generates) and the world size from 1000 to 6000, and the server starts with +server.seed, +server.worldsize and +server.levelurl already in the launch line. Wipe on your schedule from the panel when the community wants a fresh start; the Oxide plugin tree and your config survive a reinstall.

Oxide & uMod plugins, with their config and data exposed

Upload plugins as .cs, .lua or a .zip straight from the panel; the oxide/plugins, oxide/config and oxide/data folders are all reachable, so Kits, Economics, ZoneManager or GatherManager can be tuned without a support ticket. Web RCON is on from the first boot, so RustAdmin and the Facepunch web console connect directly.

Every rate that makes a 2x, 5x or PvE server, as panel fields

Gather rate (globallootmodifier 0 to 10x), craft time scale, instant craft, decay scale and upkeep, melee, arrow and bullet damage and armour multipliers, team size limit, PvE toggle, radiation, stability, item despawn time, idle kick, save interval, tickrate 10 to 30 and an FPS cap are each a validated field in the panel rather than a line you hand-edit in server.cfg. Server name, description, header image, tags and the owner and moderator SteamID lists are set the same way and are written into the server's config files on restart.

Rust control panel setup

Spin up wipes fast with region selection, map size options, and plugin presets.

  • 1
    Choose region. Pick the closest location for lower ping.
  • 2
    Select your stack. Run vanilla or add Oxide/uMod plugins.
  • 3
    Wipe on your schedule. One click in the panel when your community wants a fresh start; Facepunch's monthly forced wipe still applies to every server.

FAQ

Yes. Renting a Rust dedicated server takes about two minutes: pick a plan above, choose monthly or a longer term to save, and your server goes live wipe-ready with Oxide/uMod support and automatic backups. Monthly billing, no long contract, cancel anytime.

Yes. We support Oxide/uMod plugins. Upload mods via the control panel or FTP and restart to apply changes.

Rust lets the server owner set server.maxplayers; practical capacity depends on map size, entity count, plugins and wipe-day activity. Every server here gets three ports: the game port (UDP), a query port (UDP, game port + 1) so the server shows in the browser, and an RCON port (TCP, game port + 2). Plans differ in CPU priority, which is what matters for wipe-night stability under raids and heavy entity counts.

Yes. Upload your Rust world and server files via the file manager or FTP.

We host in US West (Oregon), US North-East (Toronto), Europe West (Paris), and Australia (Sydney).

Yes. We run automatic snapshots and provide on-demand backups for quick restores.

Live prices for Plan S, Plan M, and Plan L are shown in your local currency at the top of this page, with annual billing offering a ~22% discount over monthly. Cost is driven by CPU priority for big maps and raid-heavy wipes, RAM for entity counts and Oxide plugins, storage I/O for wipes and backups, plus bandwidth, DDoS protection, and admin tooling. Rust is more demanding than most survival games, so plan tiers are sized higher than the rest of the catalogue.

Yes. In My Account → Subscriptions, you can upgrade to a higher tier of the same game with the same billing cadence (for example, monthly to monthly). Downgrades are not available right now. During an upgrade, your deployment is updated in place (quota update + restart), not wiped and recreated.

Yes. You can request a refund within the first 2 days on any Rust plan.

Yes. The panel has fields for map type (Procedural, Barren or Custom Map), seed, world size from 1000 to 6000 and a custom map URL; the server is started with the matching +server.seed, +server.worldsize and +server.levelurl arguments. Change them and restart, or wipe first if you want a clean map.

Yes. Gather rate, craft time scale, instant craft, decay and upkeep, damage and armour multipliers, PvE, team size limit, radiation, item despawn, idle kick, tickrate and an FPS cap are validated panel fields. Anything the panel does not cover can still be set with a plugin or in server.cfg.
