Frequently asked questions.

How much does Rust server hosting cost?
Rust server hosting starts at $14.95 USD per month. Your price depends on the player slots you choose. Setup help and automatic backups are included. You can see each plan’s monthly price in the selector above.
Which Rust plan should I buy?
The 50-slot plan includes 8 GB RAM for a small friends wipe. The 100, 150 and 200-slot plans include 12, 20 and 24 GB respectively. Your map size, entities, plugins and active players determine the resources you need; a slot limit is not a performance guarantee.
How much RAM does a Rust server need?
Facepunch’s dedicated-server guidance asks for at least 12 GB of free RAM, which our 100-slot plan includes. The 50-slot plan’s 8 GB suits smaller maps and light plugin stacks, and the 150 and 200-slot plans add headroom for demanding maps. Very large maps can need more than the published plans; talk to us first.
Do you support Oxide, uMod and Carbon plugins?
Yes. Choose Vanilla, Oxide / uMod or Carbon when configuring your server. Upload compatible plugins using Files or SFTP, then follow the framework’s reload or restart instructions.
Can I use RCON, Rust+ and custom maps?
Yes. RCON and the Rust+ companion port are included, and you can configure a custom map. Keep the RCON password private and share only the game address with players.
When do I wipe my Rust server?
Facepunch requires a monthly force wipe. You can also run your own more frequent map wipes. Back up first and follow /wiki/games/rust/wipe-and-update to preserve the files you want to keep.
What if the server isn’t right for me?
New purchases include a 7-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund through support within 7 days of purchase. Read the refund policy. You can also cancel future renewals from your dashboard.
