TECHNICAL GUIDE
Rust Dedicated Server Setup and Configuration Guide
A Rust server runs on Windows or Linux with the Rust Dedicated Server package on Steam (App ID 258550). Map size and player count directly determine memory needs; Facepunch releases a forced wipe update on the first Thursday of every month.
Ports Used
| Port | Protocol | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 28015 | UDP | Game connection (default) |
| 28016 | TCP | RCON / WebRCON |
| 28082 | TCP | Rust+ app (optional) |
Suggested Resources to Start
| Usage | Processor | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| Small map, 50 players | 4 vCPU | 8–12 GB |
| Standard map, 100–150 players | 6 vCPU | 16 GB |
| Large map, 200+ players | 8+ vCPU | 16–32 GB |
Setup Steps
- Download the server files with SteamCMD using the
app_update 258550command. - Set the
+server.port,+server.level "Procedural Map",+server.seed,+server.worldsizeand+server.maxplayersvalues on the launch line. - For remote administration, add
+rcon.web 1,+rcon.portand a strong+rcon.password. - Open the ports and start the server; map generation takes a few minutes on first start.
Configuration and Mod Notes
- To use plugins, Oxide (uMod) or Carbon is installed on the server; plugins are added to the
oxide/pluginsfolder. - On forced wipe days you need to update both Rust and Oxide/Carbon; otherwise the server will not start or the plugins will not work.
- Server FPS falls as the entity count rises; regular wipes and decay settings preserve performance.
We do not install the game; this guide is written so you can do the installation yourself on your server with full root access. The resource suggestions are starting values and vary with your mod and player counts. For the infrastructure that protects your server against attacks, see our game DDoS protection page.
QUESTIONS
Questions Our Customers Ask
Configure your Rust (dedicated) server yourself from top to bottom on our VDS servers with full root access. A powerful, DDoS-protected infrastructure with isolated CPU performance on which you can freely install your Oxide and uMod plugins and stay stable even on the busiest wipe days.
In our Rust VDS server hosting service, the automation system activates your server within seconds of your order. Activation is very quick thanks to the automatic provisioning system. Once activation completes, your server details appear in your client area and you can start using it right away.
At Phoenix Sunucum we offer economical, competitive pricing for Rust server hosting. Our Rust VDS prices are transparent and affordable, and include AMD Ryzen processors, NVMe SSD storage and DDoS protection. Our plans offer options for different budgets and performance needs.

Our Rust server hosting uses AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X processors. The servers use Samsung 980 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD storage with read/write speeds of up to 7000MB/s. Features include DDR5 memory, full root access and administrator rights, direct management over SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows), a full control panel and flexible resource management. The hardware is optimised for Rust server performance, for high FPS and low ping.
In our Rust VDS server hosting service the operating system is installed automatically by the automation system, in a few clicks from your client area. Changing the operating system, reinstalling and resetting the password can also be done automatically from the client area. Windows Server and Linux options are available. As a hosting company, Phoenix Sunucum provides the VDS server; we do not offer a game installation service.
Yes, free Game DDoS protection is included in all our Rust server hosting plans. Our Rust VDS servers are protected with high-capacity eBPF technology, which filters Layer 3 and 4 attacks in real time. With our infrastructure hosted in the Istanbul data center we offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. For more detail, you can visit our DDoS protection page.
Our Rust server hosting is delivered from the Istanbul Data Center. Because the location is in Turkey, players in Turkey get low ping (around 1ms) and high performance; ping within Turkey ranges from 1 to 5ms. We also provide a KVKK-compliant service and guarantee that your data stays within Turkey's borders.
Yes, our Rust server hosting comes with full root access and administrator rights, giving you complete control of your VDS. You can manage it directly over SSH (Linux) or RDP (Windows), install software, change configuration and carry out all system administration yourself. You can also manage and customise your server from the control panel.
At Phoenix Sunucum we offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee for Rust server hosting. Our Rust VDS servers are backed by infrastructure optimised for continuous operation and by redundant systems, quality hardware, a reliable network and 24/7 technical support.
Yes, we provide 24/7 technical support for Rust server hosting through live chat, e-mail and phone. Our team helps with server configuration, performance optimisation, troubleshooting and general technical matters.
We offer Windows Server and Linux options for Rust server hosting. You can choose popular operating systems such as Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS. The operating system is installed automatically by the automation system, and you choose it according to your needs and preference.
Yes, our Rust server hosting is flexibly scalable. You can increase your CPU and RAM by upgrading your plan, and you can freely increase or decrease SSD storage. Resource changes take a few clicks in the client area, so as your server grows you can upgrade your plan and adjust your SSD space to your needs.
In our Rust server hosting service, backups are the customer's responsibility. With full root access and administrator rights over SSH and RDP, you can set up and manage whatever backup solution you prefer. If you would like a backup service, you can add it as an extra when ordering. Our technical support team can advise on recommended backup solutions.
For a map wipe, delete the
.map and .sav files in the identity folder while the server is stopped. If you also want to reset blueprints, delete the player.blueprints database files in the same folder too. A new server.seed value generates a different map.Upload the map file to a directly downloadable address and put that address on the launch line with
+server.levelurl. The server and players download the map from this address; the link must point directly to the file.Both are plugin frameworks, and Carbon runs most plugins written for Oxide directly. Oxide is more widespread and better documented, while Carbon is newer and performance-focused. The two cannot be installed together on the same server.
Under Facepunch's rules, servers that use plugins changing how the game plays (such as increased gather rates, kits or teleporting) must be listed in the Modded tab. The Community tab is only for servers that keep standard gameplay.
