Rusting.io is a game server hosting service, where people can create and manage his or her own game servers for other players to join and play. Unlike all the other game server hosting services out there, Rusting.io is only designed to host one and only one game: Rust from Facepunch Studios.

Highlighted features:

Automated Rust upgrades. There will be at least one update released each month, and usually it will be followed by several other updates for bug fixes. In Rust, your server and players’ clients have to be same version, and if you failed to update your server after a new release, your players cannot join your server. It is thus very important to keep your servers updated to avoid such frustration and prevent player loss. Servers in Rusting.io will be updated automatically once a Rust update is detected and downloaded by us. Strong support for modded servers. It is the mod system that makes Rust so much fun. There are more than 600 plugins for Rust from community and the number is only increasing. For a carefully modded server, it is not unusual to have more than 20 or 30 plugins installed. It is a tedious work to manually install those plugins, not to mention keep them updated carefully (as Rust updates itself, some plugins have to be updated as well). Rusting.io enables one-click plugin install and upgrade, and you can edit plugin config files in our online editor.

Native custom map support. In Rusting.io, to use a custom map, just select "Custom map" as server's map type, and upload your map file from your computer. You don't need to host the map file yourself and modify a certain server config manually, like other hosting services required. Other features:

• Easy server configurations. You can change hundreds of Rust server settings we listed for you to easily tune your servers.
• Easy backup. Free one-click server backup.
• Scheduled tasks. Run custom tasks on a regular basis: backup, restart, wipe, and execute RCON commands.
• Free website.
