Game hosting

Rust server

Create and configure a Rust game server on RHQ Game Hosting.

Your Rust server runs on our game panel (Pterodactyl). It installs automatically after purchase.

  1. Open the panel

    Log in to the game panel with the link in your service email and select your Rust server.

  2. Start the server

    Press Start. The first start downloads the game files and can take several minutes. Wait until the console shows that the server is running.

  3. Set the basics

    Open the Startup tab and set the server name, description, maximum players, world size and seed.

  4. Join

    In Rust press F1 and type:

    client.connect YOUR_SERVER_IP:28015

    Replace the IP and port with the ones shown on the Console page of your server.

Ports

PortProtocolUse
28015UDPGame connection
28016TCPRCON (remote console)
28082TCPRust+ companion app

Your server's assigned ports are shown in the panel and may differ from these defaults.

Plugins (Oxide/uMod)

Install Oxide from the Startup tab (or upload it through the Files tab), then put plugin .cs files into oxide/plugins. They load automatically.
