Rust is heavy. Big maps, high entity counts, hundreds of bases, scripts on the side. A Pulsar67 VPS gives you the CPU + NVMe combo that doesn't choke when wipe-day spike hits. Full root for Oxide/uMod plugins. From $15/mo.
Rust server processes are notorious. 200-player wipe night on a 4k map can push 30+ GB RAM and burn through cores fast. Cheap "game hosts" running 80 servers per box collapse under the load.
Pulsar67 vCPUs aren't shared 64:1. You get real cycles, NVMe save speed, and DDoS protection that survives the salt of a wiped clan.
No 64:1 overcommit. Wipe-day spikes don't drop you to 5 FPS server-side.
4k map + 300 bases = chunky save. NVMe writes it in seconds, not server-wide hitches.
Salty raiders book a booter? L3/L4 mitigation kicks in. Your server stays online; they go home.
Full root means full uMod/Oxide/Carbon support. Run any plugin, write your own, no panel limits.
Small community? Pro. Public 200-slot? Enterprise. Don't try Starter - Rust will eat it alive.
SteamCMD again. You know the drill.

Rust servers are prime targets. We mitigate L3/L4; your players never notice the attack.
Test a new plugin without fear. Snapshot first, restore in seconds if it nukes the server.
If Steam content servers misbehave on wipe day, we'll actually look at the issue with you.
Spin up an Enterprise VPS, run SteamCMD, share the IP on Battlemetrics. Your players are waiting.
