Question 1

What are the recommended specs for Rust server hosting?

Accepted Answer

Rust is single-threaded for the main game loop, so single-core performance matters more than core count. We recommend at least 12 GB of RAM for up to 100 slots on a 3500 map, 16 GB for 150 slots on a 4000 map, and 24 GB+ for 200+ slots on a 4500 map. Our Rust plans run on AMD Ryzen 9 (5.7 GHz boost) with DDR5 and NVMe storage and are sized to these recommendations, so you do not have to guess.

Question 2

How many players can a Rust server support?

Accepted Answer

Standard Rust servers comfortably host between 50 and 200 players depending on map size, monument density and plugin load. Smaller private servers run well on lighter plans; large community servers benefit from our higher-tier options. There is no hard slot cap on any of our plans.

Question 3

What is the best CPU for a Rust server?

Accepted Answer

A high clock-speed CPU is more important than raw core count, because the Rust server loop runs primarily on a single thread. The AMD Ryzen 9 (5.7 GHz boost) is currently the best consumer CPU for Rust server hosting and is what every VibeGAMES Rust plan runs on.

Question 4

Can I install Oxide or Carbon on my Rust server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both Oxide (uMod) and Carbon are available as one-click installs from the control panel. Carbon is a drop-in replacement for Oxide that runs the same plugin codebase on a newer .NET runtime and is recommended for heavily-modded servers.

Question 5

Can I upload custom maps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload any custom .map file (RustEdit, RustMaps.com, or your own) via the control panel file manager or SFTP, point your startup command at it, and restart the server. Custom maps with handcrafted monuments are a great way to stand out in the server browser.

Question 6

How do I wipe my Rust server?

Accepted Answer

Wipes can be performed from the control panel: delete the map save files for a map wipe, or additionally clear the blueprint data for a full BP wipe. You can also schedule automatic wipes weekly, bi-weekly, or aligned to Facepunch's monthly Force Wipe using the built-in task scheduler.

Question 7

What is the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint wipe?

Accepted Answer

A map wipe resets the world and player-built structures but keeps unlocked blueprints. A blueprint wipe additionally resets every player's tech tree. Most communities map-wipe weekly and BP-wipe monthly, lining up with Facepunch's Force Wipe on the first Thursday of every month.

Question 8

Do you support Rust Staging Branch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Staging Branch is available as a startup option in the control panel. Switching between release and staging takes one restart. Useful for testing upcoming Facepunch changes against your modded setup before they hit the main branch.

Question 9

Is DDoS protection included with Rust hosting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every plan, with no add-on fee or activation delay. Rust servers are heavily attacked around wipe day, and our VibeSHIELD network is anycasted with multi-Tbps capacity and game-aware filters tuned for Rust's UDP traffic patterns. Filters distinguish real client traffic from amplification attacks at line rate.

Question 10

Do you offer full RCON and SFTP access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WebRCON is enabled by default on every server with a randomized password, and you can connect any external RCON client such as RustAdmin. Full SFTP access lets you upload plugins, edit configs, swap maps, and pull logs without restrictions.

Question 11

Where are your Rust servers located?

Accepted Answer

We operate Rust nodes across Europe and North America to keep player ping low. You pick the location during checkout. If your community is spread across multiple regions, we can host additional servers in other locations under the same account.

Question 12

How quickly can I get a Rust server online?

Accepted Answer

Your server is provisioned and ready to connect within minutes of completing your order. No manual setup or waiting for staff. You can be in-game and configuring plugins within five minutes.

Question 13

Can I migrate my existing Rust server to VibeGAMES?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pull a copy of your existing server's identity folder (oxide/data, server save files, configs) via SFTP from your current host, then upload it to your new VibeGAMES server in the same location. Your map, blueprints, structures and plugin state all carry over. We are happy to help via support if you get stuck.

Question 14

Can I upgrade my Rust plan if my community grows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Rust plans can be upgraded from the dashboard with no downtime beyond a single restart. The server keeps the same IP, save files and plugin configuration. Downgrades are also supported as long as the new plan has enough RAM for your current world size.
