First and foremost, pick a Game Server Hosting plan based on the number of players you want to invite. If you’re not sure, start small and upgrade your plan as you go. Once you do that, you can access the VPS dashboard in hPanel to set up your virtual private server environment: Choose a server name, set your password, and select a data centre location where your gaming friends are. Check whether your VPS is up and running by accessing the VPS information tab. If it’s still offline, simply click Start. Head to the SSH access tab. Here, you’ll find all the details you need to access your Rust game server. Use our command line or an SSH client like PuTTy to open a server connection window. After that, follow the steps in this Rust hosting guide to install, modify, and launch your dedicated Rust server.
