Launch your Rust server in minutes with 8GB of RAM included, no player limit and unmetered NVMe storage. Empower Servers gives Rust admins Oxide/uMod plugin support, full FTP access and DDoS-protected networks, with real people on support 24/7 when your server needs attention.
Rust is at its most demanding when your community is most active. Wipe day brings the biggest player spike of the cycle. As the wipe goes on, bases, deployables and entities pile up across the map, and plugins add their own work on top. Your server has to handle all of it without dropping performance when your players need it most.
Our Rust server hosting runs on Ryzen and Intel i9 processors with NVMe SSD storage on DDoS-protected networks. Every plan includes 8GB of RAM, no player limit and unmetered NVMe storage, so you are not paying extra for slots or disk space as your community grows.
Every server is backed by a 100% network uptime SLA, so your players can log in for wipe day, raid nights and late-wipe sessions on schedule.
Every Rust plan includes:
Optional upgrades include additional RAM, a dedicated IP, daily backups and our Plugin and Mod Install Service.
Run the plugins your community depends on. Our Rust servers support Oxide/uMod, so you can add kits, moderation tools, quality-of-life features and custom gameplay rules. Upload plugins through the file manager or FTP and manage their configuration files directly.
Manage your server from one place. The control panel includes server management, a live console, a file manager with FTP access and one-click backup restores. Restart the server, check the console during a wipe or edit a config file without waiting on a support ticket.
Every plan includes 5 backup slots you can restore from the control panel. For communities that want more protection between wipes, daily backups are available as an add-on for $2.50 per month.
Not sure how to set up a plugin stack? Add our Plugin and Mod Install Service to your plan and our team will handle the installation for you.
Give your community a fixed address that is easy to share and list. A dedicated IP is available as an add-on for $5 per month.
Your Rust server is ready within minutes of ordering. Pick your plan and location, and you can start configuring your wipe the same day.
Our control panel includes a robust FTP server as part of the comprehensive stack, facilitating easier management of your server. Manage your server startup and files.
View your server console, op players, and restart your server.
Backup and restore your server with one click. Each server includes 5 backup slots.
Manage your server startup and files. Upload your own world (or use a direct FTP connection).
Some Rust hosts advertise a low starting price, then charge extra for player slots, storage or memory. Our Rust plans include 8GB of RAM, no player limit and unmetered NVMe storage from the start. When your community outgrows the base plan, you can add more RAM from the same account.
You can try the service with confidence. Every plan comes with a 48-hour refund period and you can cancel anytime.
Support is available 24/7 from experienced server admins. Real humans, not bots, answer your tickets, whether you need help with a plugin conflict, a map upload or a server that will not start before wipe.
Every Rust community runs its server differently. Our hosting gives you the control to set up the experience your players want.
Keep the experience close to official Rust with standard gather rates and progression. Vanilla servers suit groups that want the classic survival loop with dependable performance and a clean wipe schedule.
Use Oxide/uMod plugins to change gather rates, add kits, run events or set PvE rules. Modded servers usually need more headroom than vanilla, so you can add RAM as your plugin list grows.
Run a private Rust server for your group without leaving a home PC online. Your world stays available whenever your friends want to play, and instant setup means your first session can start the same day.
Grow a public server with no player limit, a dedicated IP option and DDoS-protected networks. Choose the location closest to your players and add resources as your wipe-day population grows.

“I am father to a 10 year old who loves tech and especially Minecraft, hosting a server where he can apply custom mods and create with his friends. He knows way more than me, but sometimes we’ve run into issues understanding the service - and the Empower team has been great! Super responsive and clear in email and chat. Patient and helpful. It keeps us engaged and coming back because we can learn and expand with them (rather than getting frustrated and losing interest). Recommend!!!”
