How much RAM does a Rust server need?
Rust is one of the hungriest games we host - the server alone uses around 5–6GB once the map generates, before a single player connects. That's why Rust plans start at 6GB. Map size matters as much as population, so size your RAM to both.
| RAM | Recommended players | Best for | Price /mo | Renews at | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6GB | Up to ~25 pop | 3,000-size map, vanilla, small groups and testing | £15 | £15 | Deploy |
| 8GBPopular | 50–75 pop | 3,500–4,000 map with light Oxide plugins | £20 | £20 | Deploy |
| 12GB | ~100 pop | 4,000+ map, plugin-heavy (kits, teleport, clans, raid protection) | £30 | £30 | Deploy |
| 16GB | 150–200+ pop | Large maps, heavy plugin stacks, and busy community servers | £40 | £40 | Deploy |
Every Rust plan is priced at a flat £2.50 per GB of RAM per month, and the renewal price is the same as the intro price - the rate you sign up at is the rate you keep.
We don't offer 2GB or 4GB tiers for Rust - a Rust server won't run reliably below 6GB.

Built for serious Rust servers
Wipe automation, plugin frameworks, and map control - the tooling community servers actually use.
Oxide & Carbon Support
One-click install for Oxide (uMod) or Carbon. Drop plugin .cs files into the plugins folder via FTP or the panel and they load automatically.
Automated Wipe Scheduling
Schedule map wipes and blueprint wipes independently - weekly, fortnightly, or aligned to Facepunch's monthly force wipe. New seed on each wipe, optional.
Map Size, Seed & Custom Maps
Set world size (1,000–6,000) and seed from the panel, or upload a custom map file and host it directly from your server.
Full RCON Access
Web console plus external RCON, so admin tools like RustAdmin and battle-tested moderation bots connect straight to your server.
Automatic Updates
Server and Oxide/Carbon builds update automatically when Facepunch ships a patch, so your server is back online minutes after forced updates.
Scheduled Restarts
Daily restart schedules with in-game player warnings keep server FPS high and memory usage in check between wipes.
