Network-level filtering drops attack traffic before it reaches your server, so raids happen in-game only.

Hey Jonas! Open Startup in your panel, set a new World Seed, then restart the server. Want me to check the map size while I'm there?

More reasons to host Rust with us
Host a private Rust server for your friends
Running Rust from your own PC means port forwarding, a machine left on around the clock, and a dead server whenever you log off. A hosted server avoids all of that. It runs in a data centre 24/7, so your group can keep farming and building whether you're online or not. Keep it private with a whitelist plugin and set the rules that shape your wipe: team size limit, map size and seed, and custom gather rates through Oxide or Carbon. When your group is ready for new players, open the server up without moving a single file.
Set up in minutes
Your server deploys automatically after checkout, and your panel login arrives by email.
Private first, public when ready
Start with a whitelist for your group, then remove it when you want new players to join.
What is Rust server hosting?
Rust server hosting means renting a server in a data centre that runs the Rust dedicated server software for you. Instead of playing on someone else's community server, you get your own instance with full control of its settings: server name and description, map size and seed, wipe timing, admins and plugins. The server stays online 24/7 whether or not anyone is playing, and you manage it from a web control panel with a live console, file manager, backups and schedules. Every ServersNow plan includes unlimited player slots, so you choose a plan by RAM rather than by headcount.
No slot limits
Every plan includes unlimited player slots. Pick RAM for your map size and plugin count.
Vanilla or modded
Run vanilla Rust, or switch to Oxide or Carbon when you want plugins.
Modded Rust made simple
Most modded Rust servers run on Oxide (uMod) or Carbon, two frameworks that load C# plugins for things like kits, teleports, clans and custom loot. On ServersNow you choose the framework in your panel, then upload plugin files to the plugins folder with the built-in file manager. Each plugin writes its settings to a config file, which you can open and edit in the browser without an FTP client. Reload a plugin from the console to apply your changes, or restart on a schedule. Take a backup first and you can roll back if an update misbehaves.
Any plugin, your rules
Upload any Oxide or Carbon compatible plugin and configure it to suit your server.
Backups before every change
Create a backup from the panel before updating plugins, and restore it if something breaks.
