Rust servers from $63/mo on Hetzner — Rust is demanding; 8 GB to start, more for big maps and high pop.

Why Webfloater

A real server for your Rust map

Not a player slot on someone else's shared box — a dedicated cloud server you fully control, with the server work handled for you.

Power for a full wipe

Rust hammers RAM and CPU, and slot hosts throttle a busy map. Webfloater gives you a dedicated cloud server with real resources, full file access, and Oxide/Carbon plugin freedom — run your map the way you want.

Managed, so you raid, not maintain

We provision the dedicated server, wire up your plugins and config, set automated backups, and keep it online 24/7 behind network-level DDoS protection. You get a server you fully control without the Linux homework.

  • Server software set up and configured for you
  • Automated backups, with one-click restore
  • OS patching and security handled
  • 24/7 monitoring, so it stays online
Fully managed

What every Rust server includes

Every plan, every cloud — the managed layer is always on.

Official dedicated server

We run the official Rust dedicated server software via SteamCMD on a managed cloud server — the real thing, with full file access.

Oxide/uMod & Carbon plugins

Install Oxide/uMod or Carbon plus any plugins you like, and tune your own server config from a live console.

Automated backups

Hourly to monthly schedules with one-click restore — so a bad plugin or wipe gone wrong is never the end of your map.

Network-level DDoS protection

Your server sits behind the cloud provider's network-level (L3/4) DDoS protection, so attacks are filtered before they reach you.

24/7 always-on uptime

Your server stays online around the clock — not just when your PC is on — and we monitor it so it keeps running.

Real human support

Hosting questions answered by real engineers, around the clock — no ticket roulette.

Host close to your players

Pick the cloud and region nearest your players for low ping — same managed experience, same flat monthly price logic everywhere.
