Compatibility
Vanilla, modded or somewhere in between
Swap the mod framework, regenerate the map and schedule your wipes without opening a ticket.
Plugins
Oxide (uMod)
The standard plugin framework, and the one nearly every Rust plugin is written against.
Plugins
Carbon
A faster Oxide-compatible alternative. Same plugins, noticeably lighter on the server.
Tools
RCON · Discord
Browser console plus Discord hooks for wipes, raids and player reports.
Getting started
Your island up in four steps
No setup fee. Map size drives memory more than player count does, so size it before you order.
- 1
Size the map
3000 is a quick vanilla wipe; 4500 modded eats memory. The slider above accounts for both.
- 2
Choose the city
Miami, New York or Los Angeles, changeable for free whenever you want.
- 3
Pick your framework
Oxide or Carbon in one click, then install plugins straight from the panel.
- 4
Schedule the wipe
Set the calendar once and the server wipes, regenerates the map and announces it on its own.
Our network
Three locations — pick the one that gives your players the lowest ping
We host in premium United States data centres, on both coasts and the southeast. Measure the latency from your own connection before you order anything.

Sentrix ShieldHow the protection works
Stay online whatever happens
Sentrix Shield is our own anti-DDoS infrastructure — our hardware, our rules, our engineers. Filtering runs at layers 3, 4 and 7 on every plan, with no attack cap and no surcharge when it is your turn.
Layer 3 · volumetric
Amplification and reflection floods absorbed at our own edge, before they reach the node your server runs on.
Layer 4 · state exhaustion
SYN floods and half-open connection attacks stopped with SYN cookies and rate limits tuned per protocol.
Layer 7 · application
Bots that imitate real game clients, caught by per-game fingerprint rules. This is the layer generic providers miss.

A panel that doesn't make you read documentation
Console, files, databases, backups and subusers on one screen. Try it before you buy: the demo is public and doesn't ask you to register.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Starter is comfortable up to 50 slots on a 3000 map. For 100+ slots or a 4500 map go for Premium or Platinum: Rust scales mostly with RAM.
Pick day and time in the panel, and whether to wipe just the map or blueprints too. It runs itself and announces it in your Discord.

What to do when your server gets attacked
Automatic mitigation handles the volume, but layer 7 attacks imitate real traffic. These are the measures that actually help.
