Server billing
Your managed Rust server has no added player-slot fee. Account for the map, entities and plugins, and test how many players the setup can handle.

What will your first year cost?
For each provider, enter the complete billing-period charge and any setup fees or extras. Your inputs determine the estimate. Confirm the total, including taxes and fees, at the provider's checkout.
Included with managed Rust
Budget for the server you want to run.
Compare both quotes against the same map, plugin list and peak player count. Check that each plan can fit that workload before comparing prices.
Game control
VYKIX maintains the host OS while you manage game configuration and plugins. Use VXPanel for files and scheduled wipes with Oxide/uMod or Carbon.
Protection and recovery
The plan includes VxShield protection and three backup slots on the same server. Store another copy of important files off-server to keep both copies from being lost in one hardware failure.
Renewal and extras
Check setup fees, the post-promotion recurring price, and any plugins or storage billed apart from the plan. Add the extras you intend to buy without counting included features again.

Before you order
Rust hosting cost questions.
Does adding players increase my VYKIX bill?
Managed Rust hosting from €29.99/mo excl. VAT. A higher player cap carries no added slot fee. Size your setup around the map, entities, plugins and settings within the plan's fair-use limits, then test with your group to find a playable cap. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.
Is a quarterly price the amount I pay each month?
You pay the quarterly charge for a three-month period. Divide that charge by three for a monthly comparison. Enter the complete quarterly amount in the calculator and choose Every 3 months; check both the introductory and renewal amounts.
Would a VPS cost less than managed Rust hosting?
Use the same map, plugins and target player count for each quote. A VPS makes you responsible for OS installation, security, updates, backups and game maintenance. Compare the bills in the calculator and allow for the administration time each option requires.
Can I try VYKIX before paying for Rust hosting?
Try Rust hosting free for 48 hours with a valid card for verification. There is no trial charge or automatic paid subscription. The trial is suspended at 48 hours; active data is deleted seven calendar days after suspension. Export the files you need before expiry. To continue, place a separate paid order, which may use different hardware from the trial.
