Rent and Set Up a Rust Server

Why Have Your Own Rust Server?

Your own Rust server gives you control over rules, wipe cycles and plugins. Perfect for your community or private play with friends.

Order a Server

  1. Go to game-serverhosting.de
  2. Choose at least 8 GB RAM (Rust is RAM-hungry!)
  3. Order and wait for the automatic setup

Important Server Settings

server.hostname "My Rust Server"
server.description "Community Server — no Pay2Win"
server.maxplayers 100
server.worldsize 3500
server.seed 12345
server.saveinterval 300

RAM Recommendations

Map Size Players Recommended RAM
2500 1-25 8 GB
3500 25-75 10 GB
4250 75-150 12 GB
4500+ 150+ 16 GB

Performance Tips

  • Map Size: Smaller = better. 3500 is the sweet spot
  • Entity Cleanup: Use plugins like Rust Entity Cleanup
  • Decay: Accelerated decay prevents base spam
  • FPS.limit: Set to 60 to save CPU
