Rust dedicated server
Host your own Rust server
What HaruHost does for Rust
Windows
Run the server on any Windows PC, from the desktop app or the background service.
Linux and VPS
Run it on an Ubuntu VPS or a Linux home server, installed with one command and managed from the web panel.
Direct join
Players join your server's address directly, as on a VPS. At home on Windows, router and firewall helpers open the ports where your network allows it.
Bans
See the server's existing bans, and ban or unban players while the server is stopped.
Automation Paid
Restart, update, back up and post to Discord on a schedule, after a crash or when the game updates.
Backups Paid
Back up the world with a keep count, on demand or from an automation, and restore it in one step.
Files Paid
Upload and download server files in the browser, with folders as ZIP.
Discord bot Paid
From Discord, start, stop, restart and update the server and ban or unban players while the server is stopped.
HaruHost fixes game problems as Rust updates. Report anything in the HaruHost Discord.
Rust server questions
Can HaruHost host Rust servers?
Yes. HaruHost runs Rust dedicated servers on Windows and Linux.
Can I host Rust servers on Linux?
Yes. Rust servers run on Windows and Linux, and you manage them from the desktop app or the web panel.
Do my friends need port forwarding to join?
Players join your server directly, so its ports must be reachable. On a VPS, open them in your provider's firewall if it has one. At home on Windows, HaruHost's router and firewall helpers open them where your network allows it.
