Running a Rust server
Rust punishes an underpowered server more than most games. Entity counts climb all month, a single raid fires hundreds of physics events at once, and a bigger map holds more of everything. Plan around your wipe cycle: pick a map size you can afford to run on the last day of the month, not the first. Keep the plugin list short, watch the server on wipe day, and give yourself headroom before you widen the map.
How much RAM do you need?
A guide, not a limit — you can change plan later without losing your world.
Getting started
Rust leans on single-thread speed and RAM. Choose your map size first, then the plan that covers it, and a location near most of your players.
Your server is live in about sixty seconds. Set worldsize and seed before first boot — changing either later regenerates the map and wipes what players have built.
Add a modding framework from the panel, then the plugins you want. Start with a short list: every plugin adds load, and half of them overlap.
Facepunch forces a map wipe with the monthly update. Schedule yours around it, announce the date, and tell players whether blueprints wipe too.

A global network of high-performance nodes, so you get the best possible ping no matter where your players are.
DDoS protection, included
Every server sits behind always-on filtering at the network edge. Attack traffic is dropped before it reaches your node, so your players stay connected and you are not billed extra for the privilege.
Nothing to enable, configure or buy as an add-on. Active from the moment your server is created.
Volumetric traffic is dropped upstream of your node, so your CPU and RAM keep serving players.
Rules are tuned for game protocols, so real players are not caught alongside the attack traffic.
Mitigation starts automatically. If something does get through, support can see it and respond.
Powered by a 10Gbps network
Every node sits on a 10Gbps uplink with direct routes into the major exchanges, so traffic reaches your players over as few hops as possible. Less distance, fewer transits, lower and steadier ping.
Direct peering with Tier 1 networks and major exchanges. Availability varies by location.
Same infrastructure, every game
