Rust server hosting

Rust hosting provides the virtual private server and resources needed to host and run the game.

With Hostinger VPS hosting, you’ll have full freedom to customize every aspect of the game, including map sizes, player limits, rules, and gameplay. 

Plus, you don’t need to worry about performance or security issues, as our servers are built for speed and protected by the industry-leading Wanguard firewall.

First and foremost, pick a Game Server Hosting plan based on the number of players you want to invite. If you’re not sure, start small and upgrade your plan as you go.

Once you do that, you can access the VPS dashboard in hPanel to set up your virtual private server environment:

1. Choose a server name, set your password, and select a data center location where your gaming friends are.
2. Check whether your VPS is up and running by accessing the VPS information tab. If it’s still offline, simply click Start.
3. Head to the SSH access tab. Here, you’ll find all the details you need to access your Rust game server.
4. Use our command line or an SSH client like PuTTy to open a server connection window.

After that, follow the steps in this Rust hosting guide to install, modify, and launch your dedicated Rust server.

Believe it or not, you’ll spend less money hosting a Rust server than subscribing to Netflix’s cheapest plan. Hostinger’s Game Panel 1 starts at just US$ 6.99/month, and with 4 GB of RAM, 1 vCPU core, and 50 GB of NVMe storage, you’ll have enough resources to play with a small group of people.

But if you want to host a public server for 50 to 100 players, consider buying our Game Panel 2 plan. Starting at just US$ 10.49/month, you’ll get twice as many resources as the Game Panel 1 package.

Yes, our Game Panel makes it extremely easy to install Umod, which offers more than 1,400 Rust plugins you can download. With Umod installed, you can also perform a lot more customization tasks, including creating a custom map.

Absolutely. If you ever need more resources and computing power, you can easily upgrade your Game Panel plan via hPanel anytime. Plus, if something goes wrong with your account or billings, our Customer Success team is always ready to help.
