Set up by us
Rust is heavy enough that we size and build it by hand for each order.
Order it like any other server. One of us sets it up, checks it, and hands over the same console, files and backups every server gets.
What it is
Rust is a 2018 multiplayer survival video game developed by Facepunch Studios. It was first released in early access in December 2013 and received its full release in February 2018. Rust is available on Windows and macOS.

The solid bar is the smallest plan that runs Rust. Faded bars run it with room to spare. Greyed plans sit outside its range. Player counts are what the plan carries, not a benchmark of this game.
How busy it is
Rust against the other survival games.
Peak concurrent players on Steam, measured rather than estimated. Bars are to scale against each other, so a game almost nobody plays looks like one.

What players say
Rust, in the words of people who play it.
Three reviews from Steam, picked by how many other players found them helpful. About the game, not about us, unedited, and linked so you can check.
First hour in the game: "Who wants a horse?" I said, "Yeah, why not?" Walked 30 minutes to get to him, got trapped in a cage, and got killed. Didn't play for 2 years. 10/10.
