Why host your Rust server on Flux?
Rust is the hardcore multiplayer survival game by Facepunch Studios — you spawn with a rock, gather wood, stone and metal, craft weapons, build and fortify a base, then defend it from other players who want to raid you. Running your own dedicated server puts you in charge of the slot count, the wipe cycle, Oxide/uMod plugins and the rules. (This is Rust the game, not the Rust programming language.)
Most Rust hosts run on a few centralized data centres. Flux spreads your server across a decentralized network of thousands of independent nodes in 50+ countries, so there is no single point of failure and you can place your server close to your players for low latency. Deployment is fully automated: the required ports (28015 game, 28016 RCON, 28017 Steam query) are opened for you, DDoS protection is always on, and the mandatory monthly Facepunch force-wipe update is handled automatically. You manage everything — console, files, backups and monitoring — from one dashboard, with pay-as-you-go pricing and no contracts.

Vanilla vs modded (Oxide/uMod)
A Vanilla Rust server plays exactly as Facepunch ships it — default gather rates and pure, competitive survival, the way the developers intended. A modded server uses the Oxide/uMod framework to load server-side plugins: kits, teleports, economies, custom events, raidable bases and thousands more. Players join both with the standard Rust client — no client-side downloads are ever required, because Oxide runs entirely on the server. You can start Vanilla and add Oxide later, ideally on a wipe so everyone begins fresh. Read our full Vanilla vs modded guide to decide.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Choose the perfect plan for your community. Start playing in minutes.
Vanilla - 50 Slots
Vanilla - 100 Slots
Vanilla - 200 Slots
We don't sell player slots. The player count on each plan is a guide to what its CPU and RAM handle comfortably, not a limit we enforce. Rust has no fixed cap: set server.maxplayers to whatever your community needs.
*The first month is free for customers new to Flux Cloud: one free month per account, not per app or per server. If you've deployed any app on Flux before, standard pricing applies. Our 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first paid month only and does not apply when the first month was free.
