Rust panel features that pull weight.
Every tool LoafHub adds for Rust server hosting, included free, no add-ons, no upsells.
Rust Wipe Scheduler
NewSet your wipe cycle once and let it run: map, blueprint or full wipes, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or the first-Thursday force wipe. Rotate the world seed on each wipe if you want a fresh map, and announce it in game beforehand so nobody loses a base to a wipe they did not know was coming.
Plugin Manager
NewBrowse the community plugin catalogue from the panel and install straight into your server's plugin folder. Plugins are compiled and loaded without a restart, so you can add one mid-wipe, and anything you uploaded over SFTP sits in the same list instead of disappearing from the panel's view.
Rust Server Config
server.cfg as a friendly form with one search box across every convar, so you can find a setting by what it does rather than by remembering its name. World size and seed sit alongside it, and users.cfg, bans.cfg and any raw file are one click away. Keys the Startup tab owns stay locked, and comments and ordering in your file are preserved on save.
Player Manager
See who is online with their ping, health and time connected, then kick or ban by Steam id, clear the server, or broadcast a message. Your ban list is read from the server's own file, so the panel and the game never disagree. Live actions need the server running.

Common Rust hosting questions.
How much does Rust server hosting cost?
A Rust server at Loafhosts is built to order: you slide memory from 1 to 64 GB, CPU from 1 to 16 cores, and storage from 10 to 500 GB. The Standard build most people pick for Rust is 16 GB memory with 60 GB NVMe at $39.00/month. Builds for Rust run from $32.00 to $67.00/month, every one on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with DDR5 RAM, unlimited slots and the full LoafHub panel. Longer billing cycles save up to 25%.
How much memory should my Rust server have?
Every Rust server is built to order: you set memory from 1 to 64 GB, CPU from 1 to 16 cores, and storage from 10 to 500 GB with sliders, or start from a preset. The Standard build, 16 GB memory with 60 GB NVMe, is what most Rust communities pick. Smaller crews and test servers run happily on less, and heavily modded setups or high player counts want more. You pick the core count that fits, and every build runs on a Ryzen 9 7950X3D with the full LoafHub panel and Rust tools.
Does Rust hosting include Rust Wipe Scheduler?
Yes, Set your wipe cycle once and let it run: map, blueprint or full wipes, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or the first-Thursday force wipe. Rotate the world seed on each wipe if you want a fresh map, and announce it in game beforehand so nobody loses a base to a wipe they did not know was coming. It's included on every plan at no extra cost.
Can I use Plugin Manager on my Rust server?
Browse the community plugin catalogue from the panel and install straight into your server's plugin folder. Plugins are compiled and loaded without a restart, so you can add one mid-wipe, and anything you uploaded over SFTP sits in the same list instead of disappearing from the panel's view.
Where are Loafhosts Rust servers located?
You pick your region in the builder. Rust servers deploy from New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles in the United States, Montreal in Canada, and Frankfurt in Germany, all at no extra cost, with Sydney, Australia available for Asia-Pacific coverage. Any region surcharge is quoted live before checkout.
Does Rust hosting include DDoS protection?
Yes. Terabit DDoS Protection is included on every Rust build at no extra cost, with 500+ Tbps of volumetric capacity and 13+ Tbps of stateful filtering, across Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Montreal, Frankfurt and Sydney. There is no tier to choose and no upsell.
Can I migrate my existing Rust server to Loafhosts?

What is the LoafHub panel?
