Pine, Host Havoc, Bisect and Apex sell Rust servers. Physgun builds them. Here's the best Rust server hosting compared cell by cell, using only what each host publishes.
Same price range, same Oxide installer, same DDoS promise. The difference is everything underneath: overclocked 9950X on every plan, Rust God Tools, and a panel made by people who run Rust servers.
Based on each provider's publicly listed Rust information as of September 2026. A dash means the provider doesn't publish it on its Rust page or we couldn't verify it. Competitor pricing and features change, so check their site before you buy.
Every host on this table installs Oxide and blocks DDoS. Only one gives you the most advanced Rust livemap with a full player manager built in. That's what Rust-first hosting looks like.
Loading live demo…Every player on the map as they move. Click one for health, team and inventory.
Edit inventories, modify player values, ban, kick and teleport from the RGT Player Manager. No console, no Steam IDs.
Drop an airdrop or call in a heli exactly where you want it. Great for events, even better for testing.
Monument markers, sleeping bags and TCs, so you know where the fights will be before they start.
That's the live demo above. Yours comes with every Rust plan. Built in-house. Only at Physgun.
Oxide and Carbon groups, players and auth levels in one matrix. Changes sync straight to the running server, and you review every change before it applies. No more hand-editing JSON and hoping.
Matrix, Groups, Players, Auth Levels. Oxide and Carbon.
Your whole server disk as a live treemap. Spot the 5 GB of bundles and the 40 old saves at a glance and clear space in seconds, before a wipe fails on a full disk.
Folder and file-type breakdown. Rescans in seconds.
Hook and invoke time per plugin, ranked. See exactly what's eating your ticks and pull the one plugin costing 4.6 ms, instead of disabling everything and guessing.
Runs on top of Physgun's own Rust engine optimizations.
Three things to check on any host before you look at the price. Physgun passes all three.
Rust's main loop runs on one thread. An overclocked 9950X core keeps a 100-pop server buttery smooth where a shared 3.5 GHz core stutters. Physgun tells you the exact chip. Most hosts won't.
Force wipe is the first Thursday of every month, forever. The Physgun Rust Wiper schedules map and blueprint wipes once and handles the rest. On a generic panel, you're the wiper.
Every host installs Oxide. Physgun installs from uMod.org or Codefling in one click, keeps plugins updated, and gives you SSH and VSCode to fix a config without opening a ticket.
Pine Hosting Rust servers have the lowest headline price after Physgun's Micro plan. You get a generic panel and a CPU it doesn't name. Fine if you never plan to look under the hood.
Host Havoc Rust servers run on hardware it owns, which is genuinely good. It bills per player slot, so growing past 30 players costs you every month.
Built for Minecraft. BisectHosting Rust servers ride along on a RAM-priced plan, so you pay for memory instead of the fast core Rust actually needs.
Also Minecraft-first. Apex Hosting Rust servers sit on the same RAM tiers as its Minecraft plans, the 7950X is on the pricier EX tier, and there's no Rust-specific tooling at all.
Built for Rust first. Rust God Tools, a live permission editor, the tick profiler, SSH and VSCode, and overclocked 9950X hardware on every plan. Trusted by /r/PlayRust, Rustopia and Spoonkid.
Every plan runs on overclocked Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 and NVMe. Use code RUST for 15% off.
