Rust is a multiplayer only, open world game with no set objective other than pure survival. In this world, the player's main goal is to survive against a variety of harsh conditions and enemies. Just beating hunger and starvation is not enough, the real enemy of Rust is the wildlife and especially other players. Starting with nothing but a blank slate, obtain power through cruel methods ranging from stealing and killing fellow players to hunting animals and grinding resources. Grow your power and become the strongest player in Rust.
How to Start a Rust Server
Creating a dedicated Rust server while possible, can be quite the task. These servers require expensive hardware, software, and lots of bandwidth to provide the best environment for players. As we understand how difficult and expensive it can be to set this up, we have created a simple Rust server setup making it easier than ever before to play together with your friends. As one of the most experienced game hosting companies, Apex Hosting has perfected how to operate and manage Rust servers effectively. When creating a Rust server, it requires dedicated server software on the hardware and the ability for outside connections for all of the players. However, with our system all of this is done already allowing for an easy setup. And that's not even including our web-based control panel which allows you to control the setting, create new worlds, install mods, and more! Without a dedicated server, playing multiplayer rust will require someone setting up the game world every time you want to play. With a dedicated Rust server from Apex Hosting, anyone can join your world whenever they want.
The best Rust hosting company is one that will provide a persistent lag-free experience, unmatched uptime, and a 24/7 helpful support team all while being at a reasonable price. The host will also need to make sure that the server is automatically updated so players can always connect from the game client.
How much does Rust hosting cost?
When opening a Rust server, the price is calculated based on the amount of ram the customer would like allocated to the server. While many providers will charge based on performance, slots, or customer support, we do not limit any of this. When ordering a server and choosing how much ram is necessary, it is recommended to take into consideration the size, amount of players, and modifications you would like on the server.
