Sizing guidance

Start here

6GB is the smallest supported footprint for Rust when you want a clean launch without overspending.

Recommended for most servers

8GB is the safest default when you want room for players, mods, and a smoother first month.

Size up when the workload is real

Heavier maps, larger player counts, and bigger plugin or mod stacks can push you toward the upper end of the 16GB range.

Included with every plan

Full control panel access
Daily backups
DDoS protection
Upgrade or downgrade later

Notes before you launch

Minimum 6GB required. Oxide plugins increase requirements.
Modded servers typically need 12GB+. Map size 4500+ needs 12GB minimum.
