DDOS PROTECTION

Protect your game server from bad actors, DDoS attacks and unauthorized access. We have worked hard to implement robust security measures to safeguard your server and data, giving you peace of mind while you play.

Our servers are equipped with advanced DDoS protection to ensure that we can mitigate high-level attacks on any of our game server's no matter what plan you choose.

FULL FILE ACCESS

You have complete freedom over your server's setup. We provide full SFTP access, so you can easily manage your files, install mods, add plugins, or make adjustments to your server's configurations without restrictions.

On top of this we make it easy to make changes to any of your server's files or settings directly within our panel. If there's anything you're having issues with you can reach out to our support team at any time.

CUSTOM SUBDOMAINS

Every server gets a free yourname.wabbanode.com address, so nobody has to remember an IP and port. Change it whenever you like from the panel.

Divide one plan into several smaller servers. Run a lobby and a survival world, or two different games, off the RAM you already pay for.

GAME SWITCHING

Swap your server to any game we host from the panel. Your plan stays the same, so a Minecraft server can become a Rust server next month without buying another.

AUTOMATIC CRASH DETECTION

If your server goes down, it comes straight back. A watchdog spots the crash, restarts the server and logs what happened.

What is Rust?

Rust is a multiplayer survival game set in a brutal, post-apocalyptic world where players must fight to survive. Starting with nothing, players gather resources, craft weapons and tools, and build shelters to protect themselves from threats that are hostile players. The game focuses heavily on open-world exploration, PvP combat, and teamwork. With a deep crafting system and complex survival mechanics, Rust offers a dynamic and ever-evolving gameplay experience.

If you're looking to host your own server, our reliable performance and customizable settings ensure a smooth and immersive experience for you and your friends. Dedicated support makes managing your server easy, allowing you to fully enjoy the world of Rust.

Best Rust server hosting

Ready to build, raid, and dominate the island? A Rust dedicated server puts you in full control of the wipe cycle, plugin loadout, and rules. Whether you want to host a Rust server with friends for a small clan or run a busy modded community, Wabbanode makes Rust server hosting fast and painless.

What your Rust server needs

For Rust we suggest 4 GB for up to 10 players, 6 GB for up to 25 players, 10 GB for up to 75 players, 16 GB for up to 150 players and 24 GB for up to 200 players, the same sizes the plan picker above recommends. Rust is one of the most demanding survival games to host. RAM usage scales directly with your map size and player count. A high-clock-speed CPU matters more than core count, since Rust leans heavily on single-thread performance. Plan for NVMe storage to keep map generation and save writes quick, and remember that procedural map size is the single biggest driver of your Rust server RAM requirements.

Modded Rust with Oxide/uMod and wipe cycles

Most communities run Oxide (uMod) plugins for teleport, kits, economy, and gather-rate tweaks. Our full file access lets you drop in plugins, edit configs, and schedule automated wipes, weekly or biweekly wipe cycles keep your server fresh and your player base coming back. One-click map wipes and backups make managing wipe day simple.

Why host Rust with Wabbanode

AMD Ryzen 9 hardware, NVMe SSDs, and enterprise DDoS protection keep your island online through the biggest raids. Free automatic backups, instant setup, and 24/7 support mean you spend your time playing, not troubleshooting.
