How to Host a Rust Server

Important notes below!

The Rust developers have limited the number of servers shown in the community server browser. As a result, your server may not appear immediately. When a slot becomes available, yours will automatically attempt to list itself. However, this process is controlled by Rust, and neither we nor any other hosting provider can speed it up.

Update Your Server Name

By default, Rust will have started automatically with the default settings on the latest version. Do note, Rust is a large game and can take 5-10 minutes to start up for the first time.

You will need to go to the Startup Page and set a suitable Server Name. This is what you will search for when joining your server via Rust.

Open the Rust Game
