World Class Rust Support
Setting up a dedicated Rust server is not an easy thing to do on your own. It requires specialized hardware,software and bandwidth to provide the best environment for players. That’s why we offer a simple Rust server setup process, allowing you and your friends to play together online at any time. Apex Hosting has years of experience in game hosting and have perfected how to manage and operate these servers effectively. Making a Rust server requires deploying the dedicated server software on this hardware and allowing outside connections for all of your players. Our system does all of this and also keeps the server up to date automatically. Managing your server is easy with our web-based control panel, allowing you to control your settings, start new worlds, install mods and more! Playing Rust multiplayer without a dedicated server means you have to rely on 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.

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.
