FAQ

Rust hosting FAQ.

How much RAM does a Rust server need?

Rust is heavy. 8 GB works for a small group on a smaller map; 12 GB or more is better for bigger maps, more players or plugins.

How do players connect?

In Rust, press F1 and type client.connect followed by your server address and port.

Can I install plugins?

Yes. Set the framework to Oxide or Carbon under Startup in the game panel, restart, then upload plugins to the plugins folder.

What happens to my base when I upgrade to a bigger plan?

Upgrading resizes your existing server in place — same server, same map and same address. Nothing is wiped or reinstalled. Restart your server from your client area to start using the extra memory.

How do I manage my server remotely?

A unique RCON password is generated for your server and shown in your client area. Use it with RustAdmin or any RCON client to run admin commands without being logged into the game.

Do I need to forward any ports myself?

No — your server's game, query, RCON and app ports are all configured automatically when it's set up.

Does my server keep running when I log off?

Yes — it's a dedicated server, not your own PC, so it keeps running and the world keeps ticking whether or not you're online.
