Which size?
How much RAM for a modded Rust server?
Plugins add a little memory on top of the map and your players. Memory use also grows during a wipe, so pick with some room to spare.
8 GB: up to ~25 players
A server for friends or a starting community, map up to 3500, a modest plugin list. €7.19 per month paid quarterly, €7.49 monthly.
12 GB: up to ~75 players
A community server with a full plugin set. €10.49 per month, billed monthly.
16 GB: large maps
Large maps and heavy plugin sets. €13.39 per month, billed monthly.
Oxide or Carbon
Choose the framework under Plugins and restart once. Switch later in a few minutes; your map and players stay.
uMod in one click
Search uMod in the Plugins tab and click install, or upload your own .cs files. Plugins load without a restart.
Your own RCON
Every server gets a unique, strong RCON password for your admin tools.
How it works
Plugins on your Rust server
1. Order a Rust plan below; the server is created automatically. 2. Turn on a framework: open Plugins in SparkPanel, choose Oxide (uMod) or Carbon, click Save and restart the server. The console shows the framework loading. 3. Install plugins from the same tab with one click, or upload .cs files to the plugins folder under Files. They load without a restart.
Not sure which framework? Both run the same kind of .cs plugins; Carbon is built as a drop-in replacement for Oxide. The full comparison, with the folders to copy when you switch: Rust server: Oxide or Carbon?.
Honest advice
Oxide or Carbon?
Oxide (uMod)
- The original framework with the longest track record.
- Most tutorials and plugin pages assume Oxide.
- Plugins, configs and data in oxide/plugins, oxide/config and oxide/data.
Carbon
- Runs most Oxide plugins unchanged and only loads the hooks your plugins use.
- Has its own in-game menu to install, update and configure plugins.
- One framework per server: you can't run Oxide and Carbon at the same time.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is Oxide included with every Rust plan?
Yes. Every Rust plan can run Oxide (uMod) or Carbon. Turn it on in SparkPanel under Plugins and restart once.
Do plugins need a server restart?
No. After the framework is installed, plugins you install from the Plugins tab or upload as .cs files load without a restart.
Can I switch from Oxide to Carbon without a wipe?
Yes. Your map, bases and players stay. Switch the framework under Plugins, restart once and copy your plugins, configs and data from the oxide folders to the carbon folders.
How do I make myself admin?
Type ownerid followed by your SteamID64 and name in the console, then server.writecfg, and reconnect.
What does it cost?
Rust 8 GB costs €7.19 per month paid quarterly or €7.49 monthly. Rust 12 GB costs €10.49 and Rust 16 GB €13.39 per month, both billed monthly only. VAT included.
How do wipes work with plugins?
Facepunch forces a map wipe on the first Thursday of every month. For a wipe of your own, stop the server and delete the .map and .sav files in server/rust. Your plugins and their settings in the oxide or carbon folders are not touched by a map wipe.
