Rust Server Hosting
Enterprise DDoS protection, premium AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D hardware, and Oxide pre-installed. Built for 200+ player communities where wipe day is the whole event.
Built for Rust Players.
Every server runs the same enterprise stack. No upsells, no paywalls — the features below are included on every plan.
Hosted in US-East - Low Ping for North American Players
Your Rust server runs on premium AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D hardware in Vint Hill, Virginia - US-East. For players on the East Coast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast, that means typical pings under 30ms. Players in the Midwest and Texas typically see 40-70ms.
Where Your Server Lives
MANAfuel operates one game-server region: Vint Hill, Virginia - US-East. Every supported game server runs in that real region, on the same hardware class, with the same network path. If you are on the Pacific Coast, typical ping is closer to 70-90ms. From Western Europe, typical ping is closer to 100-140ms.
What Low Ping Means for Rust
For Rust, low ping helps shots, doors, and raid timing line up with what players see. East Coast groups are closest to the Virginia server path.

About Rust
Server Hosting.
Rust Servers That Don't Fold on Wipe Day
Wipe day separates real hosting from oversold garbage. 200 players online. Raiders hitting every base on the map. Someone upset about getting raided starts a DDoS. And suddenly you find out your host's "premium" hardware is actually a shared CPU from 2016.
Every MANAfuel Rust server runs on premium AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D hardware — no hardware lottery, no surprises. High tick rates stay high when they matter. Your shots actually register. Wipe day plays like wipe day should.
DDoS Protection for Competitive Communities
Rust communities attract attacks. It's the reality of running a competitive server. Our DDoS mitigation actually works — your server stays online through attacks that would take down other hosts. Raiders can be salty all they want; your server keeps running.
Oxide Ready, Plugins Easy
Oxide comes pre-installed. Want custom plugins? Tell Bob what functionality you need — gathering rates, teleportation, clan systems, whatever. He finds compatible plugins, installs them, and configures permissions. Plugin conflicts? Bob identifies the issue and fixes it. No more debugging at 3 AM.
Wipes That Run Themselves
Set your wipe schedule, map rotation, and seed preferences. Bob handles the execution — wiping on schedule, applying your settings, getting your server back online clean. Spend wipe day playing, not troubleshooting server issues.
