Can I schedule automatic Rust wipes?

Yes. The panel task scheduler can stop the server, clear the map or blueprint data, and start it again on a recurring cron-style schedule, which is how most admins hit the first Thursday forced wipe. Daily backups keep ten rolling slots, so the previous map and its blueprint state remain recoverable if you wipe the wrong thing.

Do you support Oxide and uMod plugins?

You get the panel plugin installer plus full SFTP and file manager access, so any Oxide or uMod plugin can be installed by uploading its .cs file to oxide/plugins. The server hot-loads plugins without a restart and writes its configs to oxide/config for editing. There is no plugin count limit and no extra fee for modded servers.

Can I run a custom RustEdit map on my server?

Yes. Upload the .map file to unmetered NVMe storage or host it externally, then set the levelurl startup parameter so connecting clients download it. Unmetered ports and allocations mean you can serve the map file from the same instance if you prefer. Remember to clear player data when swapping between procedural and custom maps.

How do I give myself admin on a Rust server?

Open the live console in the panel and run ownerid followed by your Steam64 ID, a name and a reason, then server.writecfg to save it. Moderators use moderatorid the same way. Because the console is authenticated through your FSH account, you do not need to expose an RCON password to use admin commands.

About Rust hosting

Rust Hosting Built Around Wipe Cycles

Rust lives and dies by wipe day. The first hour after a forced wipe is when a hundred players connect together, every monument populates, and thin hardware turns into rubber-banding. Our nodes use AMD Ryzen 9 processors with DDR5 ECC memory, which is what a mostly single-threaded server binary actually wants. Plans include 3 cores from 2 to 6 GB, 4 cores at 8 GB and 5 cores from 12 GB upward.

The task scheduler covers the routine work: a restart paired with a map wipe on the first Thursday, blueprint wipes on whatever cadence your community voted for, and quiet nightly restarts in between. Automatic daily backups hold ten rolling slots of the previous map, so a mistimed wipe is recoverable.

Installing Oxide Plugins And Configs

Modded Rust means Oxide, now maintained as uMod. Use the panel installer or drop .cs files straight into oxide/plugins over SFTP and the server hot-loads them without a restart. Generated configs appear under oxide/config, where you can edit kit contents, gather rates and permission groups in the file manager. Handing out permissions with oxide.grant from the live console takes seconds.

Ports and allocations are unmetered with ten assigned by default, so a RustEdit custom map download, the Rust+ companion app port and a plugin web interface can all run beside the server without buying anything extra. Unmetered NVMe storage means a large plugin data folder is never a billing question.

Worldsize, Seeds And Admin Access

Worldsize drives memory far more than population does, so decide on your map before your plan. Set server.seed and server.worldsize in the startup parameters, then regenerate whenever you want a new layout. The live console doubles as RCON, so ownerid, moderatorid and server.save all work from the browser, and SFTP gives you the raw save file if you want to archive a legendary wipe.

Rust hosting FAQ

Still unsure? Ask our team.

Worldsize matters more than player count. A 3000 map with up to 40 players is stable on 8 GB at $20.00 a month, our most popular tier. A 4000 to 4500 map, or any server running a long plugin list, should use 16 GB at $40.00, and heavily modded 100-player communities are safer on 24 GB.
