Determining the exact amount of RAM required for your Rust server is challenging. The resource usage of individual plugins, number of structures on your map, and the settings you have configured, all massively impact the amount of RAM your server will consume. Even servers with similar setups can experience vastly different levels of RAM usage. We recommend using our 'RAM Calculator Tool' as a guideline, rather than fact.

The minimum amount of RAM you'll need is 6GB, because this is the minimum amount you'll need to start your Rust server and play without constant lag. Servers with less than 6GB of RAM will likely experience crashes and frequent lag.

We at Cybrancee specialize in game server hosting, and have a variety of affordable Rust server hosting plans you can choose from. All of our Rust plans come with a 90 day money back guarantee, scheduled backups, full mod support (Oxide, Carbon), and instant setup.
