Rust Hosting Plans on RepublicNodes Compared

Rust is heavier than most game servers — active raids, a big map, and a full plugin/framework stack all eat RAM and CPU fast. Here's exactly what each of our Rust tiers gives you, pulled straight from the live product specs.

We sell Rust in two lines: Performance (Singapore or India, higher CPU priority) and Budget (Singapore-Budget node, lower cost, fewer extras).

Performance Rust Plans

Budget Rust Plans

Same RAM tier, Budget is roughly half the price of Performance — the trade-off is lower CPU priority, fewer databases/backups/ports on the lower rungs, and no choice of location (Budget runs on one node).

Which One Do You Actually Need?

• Vanilla, solo/duo server, small pop (≤30): Starter is enough on either line.
• Modded (Oxide/uMod plugins), 50-100 pop: Plus or Pro — Rust plugins are cheap on RAM individually, but a big plugin stack plus active raiding adds up fast.
• Community server, 100+ pop, wipes with a lot of concurrent building: Elite or Ultimate. Rust's CPU usage scales hard with player count and entity count (built structures, dropped items), more than most games — this is where the extra CPU% on Performance plans actually shows up in TPS.
• Modded with Carbon or a heavy plugin framework: go one tier above what the player count alone would suggest — the framework itself has overhead before any plugins run.

Framework Choice at Checkout

Every Rust plan lets you pick your mod framework at checkout: Vanilla, Oxide (uMod), or Carbon. You're not locked in — this can be changed later from your server's Startup tab if you switch frameworks down the line.

Locations

Performance plans can be placed in Singapore or India (RN picks the best-fit node automatically, or you can request one via ticket). Budget plans run on our dedicated Singapore-Budget node.

Every Rust plan includes NVMe storage, automatic backups, a live console and file manager, and DDoS protection on the underlying node. See current Rust plans →
