Rust Server Hosting - Built for Wipe Day Performance

Wipe day is the most demanding period for any Rust server. Dozens or hundreds of players simultaneously farming, building, and fighting generate massive entity counts and world state changes that push server hardware to its limits. AnubizHost sizes Rust server resources for wipe-day peak loads, not average loads, ensuring your server maintains stable tick rates when it matters most.

Our high-clock-speed processors handle Rust's single-threaded entity processing efficiently. Combined with NVMe storage that keeps up with the rapid world saves Rust performs every few minutes, your server avoids the stuttering and rubber-banding that plagues underpowered hosts. Players notice the difference immediately - smooth movement, responsive combat, and instant inventory interactions.

As the wipe progresses and base complexity grows, our hardware scales with the increasing demands. A mature wipe with large compounds, electricity systems, and thousands of deployables runs just as smoothly as a fresh wipe. Your players stay for the full cycle instead of leaving mid-wipe for a server with better performance.

The Oxide/uMod modding framework is the backbone of the Rust community server ecosystem. AnubizHost fully supports Oxide installation and management, with one-click framework installation and easy plugin deployment. Upload plugins via SFTP or our file manager, configure them through their JSON config files, and reload without a full server restart.

Popular plugins like Gather Manager, Kits, ZoneManager, Clans, Backpacks, and Shop work perfectly on our infrastructure. Performance-intensive plugins that run frequent entity queries or maintain large data caches benefit from our generous CPU and RAM allocations, avoiding the plugin-related lag that occurs on oversold hosts.

We maintain compatibility with every Rust update. When Facepunch releases a forced update, our systems make the latest server binaries available immediately. Scheduled automatic updates ensure your server stays compatible with the game client without requiring manual intervention on update day.

Schedule automatic wipes through our control panel. Set your wipe day, time, map seed, and map size, and the system handles the rest - shutting down the server, clearing world data, generating a new map, and restarting cleanly. Configurable pre-wipe countdown messages warn your players so they can say goodbye to their bases.

Blueprint wipes can be scheduled independently from map wipes, supporting the common practice of monthly map wipes with less frequent blueprint wipes. Custom wipe scripts are supported for servers that need to preserve certain data or run post-wipe initialization commands.

Procedural map generation runs quickly on our hardware, minimizing downtime between the old wipe and the new one. Players can connect to the fresh wipe within minutes, giving your server a head start over competitors whose wipe process takes longer.

Rust servers are frequent DDoS targets, especially popular community servers that attract competitive players. Our always-on DDoS mitigation filters attacks at the network edge without impacting game traffic. Your server stays online and responsive even during sustained attacks, protecting your player base and your server's reputation.

Uptime monitoring and automatic crash recovery ensure your server restarts within seconds of any unexpected shutdown. Rust servers can occasionally crash due to Unity engine bugs or plugin conflicts, and fast recovery minimizes the window during which players cannot connect.

Our network infrastructure provides premium routing to players across Europe and competitive latency to North America. Direct peering with major ISPs ensures your players experience the lowest possible ping, giving them - and your server - a competitive edge in Rust's demanding PvP combat.
