Rust Server Hosting in France
Rust servers in France via Gamost (a By-Hoster brand): high-frequency CPU, dedicated RAM, Anti-DDoS Game, Oxide/uMod mods and RustEdit support.
Starting at from €6.99/mo
Introduction
Service operated by our subsidiary Gamost, specialist in game server hosting. Ordering, panel and billing happen on gamost.com.
Rust regularly lands in the top 5 most-played games on Steam, with peaks above 200,000 concurrent players. This hardcore survival game needs a sturdy server setup: a very fast single-core CPU, dedicated RAM (4 GB minimum, 8-16 GB for busy servers) and NVMe SSD storage for map generation and frequent world saves.
Rust servers are a prime target for DDoS attacks between competing communities, especially on wipe nights. By-Hoster / Gamost ships Anti-DDoS Game protection tuned for Rust protocols (UDP filtering), with Tbps mitigation in a French datacenter.
Our stack ships native support for Oxide / uMod mods, RustEdit integration for custom maps, a web panel to manage automatic wipes and backups, and a server launched in under 60 seconds. From €6.99/mo, no contract, real 24/7 human support in French and English.
Rust technical specs
High-frequency CPU
5 GHz+ processors (Ryzen 7000 / Intel 13th-14th gen). Rust is single-core intensive: frequency matters more than core count.
Dedicated RAM
Guaranteed RAM, not shared (4 GB entry, 8-16 GB busy). Required to avoid lag during player peaks or raid explosions.
Anti-DDoS Game
Filtering tuned for Rust UDP packets. Protection live 24/7 with Tbps mitigation. Your players never drop during a raid.
Oxide / uMod mods
One-click Oxide (uMod) install. Plugins (ZLevels, Kits, Clans, Skinbox, BetterChat and friends) managed from the web panel.
RustEdit support
Custom RustEdit maps natively supported (.map). Upload your procedural or edited map straight from the panel.
Launched in 60 seconds
Instant provisioning after ordering. Your Rust server is online and reachable in under a minute.
Rust server use cases
Weekly PvP wipe
The most popular format. Automatic wipes every Thursday (map + BP), heavy player rotation, vanilla or lightly modded gameplay.
Vanilla server
Pure Rust experience, no mods. A great fit for purists, retro communities and official competitive tournaments.
Modded server
Custom config: 2x/5x/10x gather, kits, safe zones, economy. Friendlier for new players.
Private community
Whitelisted server for friends or a clan. Access restricted via Steam ID, ideal for co-op Rust without toxicity.
Frequently asked questions
4 GB RAM minimum for a 20-30 slot server with a 3000 map. 8 GB for 50-75 slots or a 4000-4500 map. 16 GB for busy servers with 100+ slots, 5000+ maps or heavily modded setups. Rust also burns a lot of RAM at the end of a wipe due to accumulated structures.
Technically unlimited, but performance depends on CPU and RAM. Gamost ships sized offers: 25-50 slots (Starter), 75-150 slots (Pro), 200+ slots (Premium). CPU frequency matters more than core count for Rust.
Oxide (uMod) installs in one click from the Gamost panel. Plugin files (.cs) go into oxide/plugins/ via FTP or the web UI. The server hot-reloads plugins (oxide.reload PluginName from the RCON console). Permissions are managed via oxide.grant.
Rust defaults to UDP 28015 (game) and TCP 28016 (RCON). On Gamost, those ports are automatically protected by our Anti-DDoS Game: Rust-specific application filtering with no setup required on your side. Tbps mitigation live 24/7.
The Gamost panel ships a wipe scheduler: pick frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), day, time and whether to wipe the map only or map + BP. The server restarts automatically with a new seed and pushes a Discord announcement via webhook if configured.
Yes. The panel ships a scheduled task system (cron-like) for daily reboots, incremental backups, broadcast announcements and event respawns (Helicopter, Cargo Ship, Bradley). You can also run arbitrary RCON commands at fixed intervals.
Game servers are operated by Gamost, our subsidiary dedicated to gaming hosting. Same technical team, same DC-FR_NA(01) infrastructure in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, but a brand and store tailored to gaming needs (low latency, gaming-grade L7 anti-DDoS, Pterodactyl panel). Ordering, panel and gaming support all run on gamost.com.
