Rust Server-Hosting

Open Rust, press F1 to drop the console, and type `client.connect :`. You can grab the IP and port from your [LOW.MS control panel](https://control.low.ms), or add the server to your Steam favourites and join from the in-game server browser. If it is not showing up, double-check the query port is reachable — that one trips people up more than the game port.

Rust has a mandatory forced wipe on the **first Thursday of every month**, which is when Facepunch ships their monthly update. Every server has to wipe on that day. Between forced wipes you choose your own cadence — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly are the three most common. Blueprint wipes are less frequent, normally every couple of months, and Facepunch occasionally forces one alongside a major update.

Install Oxide through **Mod Manager** in your [LOW.MS control panel](https://control.low.ms), then upload plugin `.cs` files to `/oxide/plugins/` with **File Manager** or SFTP. Plugins auto-load. One thing to remember: Facepunch's monthly forced-wipe update overwrites Oxide, so you need to reinstall Oxide after every monthly patch. Carbon is an Oxide-compatible alternative that runs the same plugin files if you prefer it.

RCON lets you run admin commands without being in-game. The easiest option is the **Web Console** in your [LOW.MS control panel](https://control.low.ms) — no setup, just works. For something richer you can point RustAdmin or a browser-based webrcon tool at your server using the IP, RCON port and password from your control panel. Rust's default RCON port is 28017 (TCP) and uses websockets.

Yes — every LOW.MS Rust server ships with `server.secure true`, which turns on EAC. I would strongly suggest leaving it on. Most players will not join a server without EAC anyway, and turning it off mostly invites cheaters in rather than giving you anything useful.

Rust is one of the most RAM-hungry games you can host. Roughly 8–16 GB covers most community servers; heavily modded or 200+ player boxes can push higher, especially late in a wipe when entity counts climb. LOW.MS Rust plans come with generous RAM out of the gate and you can upgrade further if your server grows — see the [Rust hosting page](/game-servers/rust-server-hosting) for the current options.

Yes. `server.worldsize` accepts 1000–6000 (most community servers sit between 3000 and 4500), and `server.seed` is just an integer that picks the procedural map layout. You can edit both in server.cfg via **Configuration Files**, or pass them as startup args via **Commandline Manager**. Preview seeds at [rustmaps.com](https://rustmaps.com) before you commit — saves the heartbreak of wiping to something you do not like. Changing either requires a wipe to take effect.

Yes — every LOW.MS server sits behind enterprise-grade DDoS protection at no extra cost. Rust gets attacked more than most games, so this is not optional; it is baked in.
