Rust dedicated server hosting is now available on MaximusHost for Premium members and Founders.
This is an early-access release while we continue building out the full Rust hosting experience. The core server tools are in place now, including server creation, start/stop controls, console access, storage tracking, backups, file access, player visibility, and world management tools.
Rust servers are currently limited to Premium members and Founders until the remaining features are finished and tested.
Survive, Build, Raid, Repeat
Rust is one of the most intense multiplayer survival games out there. Whether you are building a private server for friends, testing a custom world, running a small community, or setting up a dedicated survival event, MaximusHost now gives you a simple way to launch and manage your own Rust server.
The goal is to make Rust hosting easier without taking away the control server owners expect.
What You Can Do Now
Rust servers on MaximusHost currently support:
- Quick Rust server creation
- Start, stop, and restart controls
- Adjustable CPU and RAM resources
- Live server console
- Rust WebRCON command support
- Player list and player activity tracking
- Server name, description, URL, and max player settings
- Storage usage tracking
- Backups and restore tools
- File Manager access
- Rust world management for seed and world size changes
- Direct connect using your server address and port
More Rust-specific tools will be added as the system continues to mature.
World Management
Rust world settings are being handled carefully because changing the seed or world size creates a different save path and can make the server generate a new map.
To avoid accidental world resets, seed and world size are being moved out of the normal settings area and into a dedicated world management workflow. This lets server owners intentionally switch or create worlds with clear warnings before anything changes.
Joining Your Rust Server
Once your server is running, players can connect from the Rust console using:
client.connect your-server-address:port
Your full connection address is shown on the server management page.
Rust servers may also use a separate query port for Steam favorites and server browser behavior.
Available for Premium Members and Founders
Rust hosting is currently available to:
- Premium members
- Founder members
This gives us time to finish the remaining Rust-specific tools, test real-world performance, improve the management page, and make sure server owners have a safer experience before wider availability.
What Comes Next
We are continuing to improve Rust support on MaximusHost. Planned improvements include smoother world controls, better player management tools, expanded server settings, quality-of-life console shortcuts, and more visibility into server activity.
If you are a Premium member or Founder, you can create a Rust server now from your MaximusHost account.
