Trustpilot review samples
- PR (verified): "Responsive, thoughtful and knowledgeable support team. I've tried many others, these guys have both the knowhow and the support. Would recommend them to everyone."
- Lifeline (verified): "Great service overall, with the support team being rapid and friendly. They've handled some of the most insane DDoS attack sprees I have ever witnessed very well. You actually get a whole lot of other features, especially on the Rust and Garry's Mod side."
- vinnij (verified): "I've had a couple of VPS's over time with Physgun and have never had to use the support — the fact I haven't needed to speaks for the service."
- Old Rusty Gaming (verified): "Consistently reliable. Setup is straightforward, performance has been stable, and the control panel is intuitive for both quick changes and deeper configuration. Their support resolves things without unnecessary delays."
- corndiggitydog (verified): "Physgun is hands down the best when it comes to hosting Rust servers. Their panel is the best. Their support is the best. Their server performance is the best. So much better than all the competition."
