What is Rust?
Rust is a persistent multiplayer survival game centered on gathering, crafting, base building, territory, PvP and regular wipe cycles. Successful Rust communities often depend on consistent server performance, administrative tools and predictable wipe and backup workflows.
Rust benefits from hosting with enough memory and CPU headroom to keep a persistent map responsive while giving operators direct control over wipes, configuration, backups and later mod support.
What you get with Rust hosting.
These are the service capabilities around the game server itself. Anything game-specific is called out instead of being hidden in a generic feature list.

Persistent Rust communities, wipes and modded servers — once we have plans large enough to host them honestly.
Recommendation is guidance. Price follows your RAM.
The current recommendation for Rust is 12 GB, which is $29.99/mo on the monthly launch price ladder. You can choose less when the 4 GB game minimum allows it, or add more room for a heavier workload.

Where Rust supports portable world or save data, migration help is part of the service. The game page and support center document the supported import path.
Rust hosting FAQ
How much does Rust hosting cost?
Rust is planned for a later capacity class, so its final paid pricing is not published yet.
Do my players need a Runic Hosting account?
No. The customer account belongs to the person managing the hosting service. Players connect through the game using the server address and port that applies to Rust.
Can I choose less RAM than the recommendation?
This title is not yet in the launch shared catalog. Its final selectable range will be published with the product.
Where will this server run?
This game is planned for a later capacity class, so its final location availability will be published with the paid product.
Can I upload an existing world or save?
Runic Hosting will publish the validated import/export process before Rust becomes a paid product. If the game supports portable save data, that workflow will be documented on this page.
Can I use mods, plugins or custom server settings?
Current supported workflows include: Vanilla · Scheduled wipes · Modded after validation. Support is game-specific because incompatible third-party content can change resource use and stability.
Do I get file and backup access?
Runic Hosting’s production panel model includes browser file management, SFTP and backup access. Exact backup limits and any game-specific exclusions are published with the paid product before checkout.
Rust remains on the roadmap while Runic Hosting validates the capacity class, install/update path, backups, restore behavior and support workflow needed to offer it properly.
Want Rust hosting later?
Tell Runic Hosting this is the game you care about so roadmap demand is visible while capacity is validated.
