The service provided by Gameserverkings is most likely the singular best option for those looking to break into server hosting, the ease of use phenomenal and they're detailed guides were paramount to my own success.

The support team is amazing and the server I ran was phenomenal and had no problems!

The world of hosting content is a very competitive one and often quite difficult to manage successfully, so there's a bit of YMMV grain of salt to be had from a customer standpoint. I must admit that so far my experience has be very favorable. If you're like me it's hard to qualify all of the "best game hosting" or "best Rust host" lists with actual valuable data. In that light, i have gone through a few hosts and landed on GameServerKings (GSK) not because of their humble title, but to be quite frank simply because they offered a good deal. What i got was way more value for the price than i could imagine. Like any search for a solution, you'll never have the same requirements as all of the other customers. I did a lot of research before deciding to go with GSK. I searched reddit and the googs for reviews on this place and then i came upon trustpilot. As i do for my amazon purchases i first go look at the bad reviews to see what i have to deal with. For GSK the bad reviews seem to be gravitating towards 1) automatic payment renewal and 2) customer response time. The bad reviews made me nervous because I'm stingy and to i dont like to wait to have problem resolved but for a monthly server that was a risk i was willing to take. I can honestly say that my experience with GSK makes those claims seem alien, as they have been stellar in both response time to my questions, and dealing with my billing. Personally i was looking to get a better value than my current host not that they were bad in the slightest, they are (were) very good, but because my server was expanding and we were looking to have a second. I place for service quality and customer service are on top of most other features. I wanted a Rust server that could serve a small community, so the 60 slots on there was more than enough. I want the Rust server to have Oxide, Check, Backups, Check. Could there be more options, sure maybe but these are more than good for now. So i ordered one of their servers, and to my suprise for what they were offering the monthly pricing was not only cheaper than my current host, but at the same time their shopping cart added a coupon code automatically before i even finished ordering it. I ordered it and i got an email confirmation and login account request to set up a password for my account. after i logged in, i found the interface fairly easy to use (not saying its perfect) but definitely easy to figure out (especially if you're an admin). After about 15 minutes my server was up and running with a default map and it was FAST. I mean REAL fast. from my previous host, i was getting maybe 70 fps @ 40ms ping, with this server im getting 85+FPS @ 15ms ping on my potato-ish PC. "Ok so that's not apples to apples, you dolt, the default map is only a 2000 size map with almost no entity spawn" you say. Touché, smart ass, so i loaded the same exact map that my pve server had 6000 size world map and i was getting, 80+ fps at @21 ms ping (also imported the entities). If you've ever played rust, you'll know that average constant fps is more than decent for a server. I was sold but i needed to have my admins test, and test we did. we tested for 20 hours of each weekend day. The server had less lag spikes and a smooth ping then the original server, for less. eventually we decided to port the two servers into new instances, i was sold on the price and wanted to lock it in for 12 months (you should REALLY consider this option, it's insanely affordable). The customer service folks were with me the entire night, even dealing with my post 1am ramblings about 1) being old and 2) a former good gamer. These guys were on point, they not only tolerated my inane babble but actually provided answers to every single one of my questions, completed every single one of my requests and provided information on how to be a better human being through the Zen and the art of Rust Administration. All kidding aside, i would highly recommend doing at least a month trial and seeing what results you get. I'm in the USA, on the East coast, and the server instance was set up on the east coast. I hope this review has been useful more than all the other reviews. Please rate this the GOAT review of 2020. kthx bye. oh yes, this is not a paid promo, though looking back maybe i should point out somethings that could be improved. ok sorry GSK but for the sake of my integrity here's some needed improvements: UI: -Client Area RCON password does not update/synch with TCadmin panel. the REAL rcon password will be in the tcadmin panel in a hard to find tab (because im old) -There's no way to order two servers initially, you have to order one, set up your account and then order another after being logged in (simple but you know, im lazy so i want it all NAO). Transfer: -would prefer SFTP instead of straight FTP over SSL/TLS -checksum error on some files when uploading (i'll put in a ticket)

Great service as always

I've had the pleasure of running a Rust server with GameserverKings since the beginning of 2020. I was hesitant to begin working with a new host due to previous horrendous experiences with a different server host but GameserverKings has totally changed my perspective 110%. I will admit honestly that I did run into a few errors here and there, but the GSK support was immediately accessible & responsive(that's big!). I personally feel like it's very important to have your server provider communicate things that are going on with your server when an issue arises and the GSK Technical support team will do just that. The staff is very friendly and will answer any questions you may have about your server (even technical problems that go on, they've explained some to me and it was very cool :)). If you're not sure about hosting with GameserverKings, do it! You have nothing to lose and lots to gain! 11/10 wonderful host. Thank you!

customer service has always been quick and really helpful never had to wait long. they always got it right the first time.

Just want to say hands down best support and gotta give 5 star to "Dristen" for helping me and taking his time to do alot of work excellent support.

Excellent Service and excellent support team. Smooth experience
