The Problem

Common Challenges for Rust server operators, community owners, and competitive Rust groups

These are the issues that consistently come up when Rust server operators, community owners, and competitive Rust groups try to scale on the wrong infrastructure.

Challenge 1

CPU steal on shared hosting causes tick rate drops during raids and PvP - players experience rubber-banding, delayed hit registration, and desync

Challenge 2

Rust auto-saves every 5-10 minutes with large save files - on shared HDD/SSD, the server freezes for seconds during each save

Challenge 3

Rust servers are prime DDoS targets from rival groups - shared hosting rarely includes DDoS protection, leaving your server vulnerable

How We Help

How Glitch Servers Solves This

Rust is one of the most demanding games to host - large maps, complex AI, player-built structures, and constant PvP interactions require consistent CPU performance and fast I/O. Shared game hosting can't deliver the tick rate stability that competitive Rust players expect. A dedicated server eliminates CPU steal, provides guaranteed RAM for large maps and high player counts, and NVMe storage handles Rust's frequent auto-saves without the freeze-lag that plagues shared hosts.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).

A Glitch Servers dedicated server provides the bare-metal performance Rust demands. Xeon 4.1GHz delivers the single-thread speed for stable tick rates even during large raids. 32GB RAM handles max-population servers with Oxide plugins. NVMe SSD completes auto-saves in under a second with no perceptible lag. Always-on Corero DDoS protection keeps your server online during targeted attacks. Full root access for SteamCMD, Oxide, uMod, and any custom configuration.

What You Get

Built for Rust server operators, community owners, and competitive Rust groups

The features that matter most for your workload, included as standard.

⚡

Stable Tick Rates

Dedicated Xeon CPU with no contention. Rust's server loop runs at consistent speed - no tick rate drops during raids, PvP, or helicopter events caused by other tenants' workloads.

🛡

NVMe Auto-Saves

Rust saves world state every 5-10 minutes. NVMe writes save data at 3,000+ MB/s - saves complete in under a second instead of causing multi-second server freezes.

🔧

DDoS Protection

Rust servers are constant DDoS targets. Corero SmartWall inline mitigation absorbs attacks at the network edge. Your players stay connected while the attack is scrubbed.

💰

Oxide/uMod Ready

Full root access for SteamCMD, Oxide, and uMod plugin installation. Configure server settings, plugin configs, and automated wipe schedules without panel restrictions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM does a Rust server need?

A vanilla Rust server with 100 players uses 8-12GB RAM. With Oxide plugins and a large map, 12-16GB is recommended. 32GB gives you headroom for high-population servers with extensive plugin loads.

Can I run multiple Rust servers on one machine?

Yes. A 32GB server can run 2 Rust instances (e.g., main wipe + modded) if each is allocated 10-12GB. 64GB on Dual Xeon handles 3-4 instances.

Do you support automated wipe schedules?

You configure wipe schedules yourself via cron jobs, Oxide plugins, or custom scripts. Full root access means you automate anything - map wipes, blueprint wipes, plugin updates.
