Rust
Survive, build, and dominate on your own Rust server
Built for the way your community plays.
Build your empire in the brutal world of Rust with your own dedicated server. Whether you're running a vanilla survival server or a creative build server, we have the hardware and features you need. Our Rust servers ship with full RCON access, and FTP is included on paid plans for wipe management. High-frequency CPUs ensure smooth gameplay even with large player counts.
Rust tiers.
Pay only for the size you need. Upgrade any time — we only charge the difference for the days left in your billing cycle. Sizes move up only; downgrades aren't supported.

What actually runs your server.
We own and operate every piece of hardware your Rust server lives on. No whitelabeling, and your server runs in its own VM.
Every Rust server, fully loaded.
Wipe via FTP
Clear your world save from the dashboard's FTP access when it's time for a fresh start.
Custom Maps
Use procedural maps or upload custom creations.
High-Frequency CPU
Fast processors for smooth Rust gameplay.
No Slot Counts
We sell a hardware allocation, not player slots. The ceiling is whatever the game itself allows.
DDoS Protection
Enterprise-grade protection keeps your server online.
RCON Access
Full admin control through RCON.
Who runs Rust on Revelation.
Every community is different. Here's the playbook for the ones we see most.
5–10 players · no drama
Start free or on Small. Zero config, zero ticket numbers. Perfect for weeknight sessions that just need to work.
Tier: Free · Small20–40 players · active Discord
Medium or Large tier. Room to scale without reprovisioning. Upgrade mid-month and you only pay the difference for the days left in your cycle.
Tier: Medium · LargeBig worlds + big builds
X-Large tier. Generous RAM and world-backup automation so you can risk-take on the build.
Tier: X-Large100+ players · 24/7 operation
XX-Large or a Dedicated Server: your own block of hardware, white-glove onboarding, and an engineer on Discord for launch day.
Tier: XX-Large · DedicatedFour steps. Scripted end to end.
From checkout to endpoint. Setup starts the moment you pay, and most servers are ready within 30 minutes; the game download is the slow part.
Register
Email, username, password. No credit card for the free tier.
Configure
Pick a tier and a region. We handle provisioning, install, and config.
Deploy
Dedicated VM provisioned, game installed, config applied — all scripted.
Play
Endpoint appears in your dashboard. Share the IP, start your session.
Your first 24 hours of hosting.
What we handle before your community arrives so you don't have to.
VM provisioned and hardened
Fresh OS, firewall rules, Rust-specific config applied automatically.
Game binary installed and patched
Latest stable version by default. Version pinning available on upgrade.
Dedicated port assigned
You get a permanent endpoint. No reshuffling, no port collisions.
Backup schedule activated
Your included plan (Bi-Weekly Backups) backs the world up twice a month, on the 1st and 15th, at 2am Pacific and keeps the last 2. Our team can restore on request if something goes sideways.
DDoS protection live
Always-on network-edge mitigation. No per-incident billing.
Dashboard access provisioned
Server start/stop/restart, FTP access, live player count where the game supports it, and log files — all in one place.
Deploy where your players actually are.
Pick the region closest to your community for the lowest ping. Region is set when your server is deployed and cannot be changed afterwards, so choose carefully.
