Rust is unforgiving about ping. Raiding, PvP and building all punish lag in ways a survival game like Minecraft mostly hides. If your wipe crew is in the US and you have been playing on a European server, moving the server to the same continent as your players fixes the biggest cause: distance. We run Rust in San Jose, California and in Ashburn, Virginia.
What Runs Your Server
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, shared with other servers on the node
- Memory: DDR5
- Storage: NVMe SSD
- Location: San Jose, California, or Ashburn, Virginia
- DDoS protection: Cloudflare Magic Transit, included on every plan
Rust's server tick and entity simulation load a single core hard, especially on populated modded servers with Oxide/uMod plugins, so per-core speed matters. AMD lists a boost clock of up to 5.7 GHz for the 7950X3D.

Pick USA (California) or USA (Virginia) in the region selector on the Rust hosting page.
California or Virginia?
Pick California for a crew on the West Coast and Virginia for a crew on the East Coast. If your players are split, ask a few of them to open the plan selector on the Rust page: it measures their own ping to both US locations from the browser. For a crew in Canada, our Canada node is another option.
Common Questions
Does Oxide/uMod work the same in the USA? Yes, plugin support and modding tools work identically across every region.
Can I move my server to the USA after a wipe? Yes. Moving a server to another of our locations is free about once a week. Message the team in the site chat before your next scheduled wipe and they move it over.
Is DDoS protection actually included, not an add-on? Yes. Every plan in both US locations includes Cloudflare Magic Transit by default.
