RustIP is a production-ready Rust PC / Steam server list script — the same product family that powers FindRustServers.com. Self-host a wipe-aware Rust directory on your own domain with PHP and MySQL: vanilla & modded browsing, SteamID64 voting, A2S status pings, owner tools, and a full monetization stack (banners, featured slots, Premium).
Rust players shop for servers by wipe schedule, gather rate, team size, and region — not generic “game server” fields. RustIP is built around those decisions, so your list feels native to the Rust audience instead of a reskinned Minecraft portal.
Earn money with your Rust list
RustIP treats the directory as a business from day one. On the live FindRustServers.com network, operators sell visibility to server owners while organic SEO pages keep free traffic flowing:
- Banner advertising (
/advertise) — sell Top/Header, mid-list, sidebar, server-page, and footer placements. Monthly or yearly one-time PayPal Orders (defaults roughly €50–€200/month depending on placement; yearly ~4 months for the price of 12). Creatives are reviewed before activation.
- Featured homepage slots (
/featured-slots) — reserved promoted positions server owners buy to stay above the organic feed. Slot prices are configurable (live network spans roughly €25–€279 depending on slot and period).
- Premium membership (
/premium) — recurring visibility upgrade for owners who want ongoing boosts (defaults about €9.99/month or €39.99/year; you set amounts in admin).
- Admin payments desk — review PayPal orders/subscriptions, mark paid/refunded, and fulfill Premium / featured / banner products without bolting on a separate billing CMS.
You control pricing, enable/disable products, and connect your own PayPal credentials. Results depend on your traffic and sales execution — the script ships the same surfaces used in production.
Who it’s for
Operators launching a serious Rust-only list, communities that want wipe/gather/team filters under their brand, and agencies packaging a monetizable Rust directory for a client — without reinventing A2S queries, SteamID voting, or ad checkout.
Why buy vs building from scratch
A credible Rust list needs SteamID64 voting with cooldowns, independent game/query ports, wipe dates, vanilla vs modded taxonomies, category SEO pages (solo/duo/trio, 2x/5x, weekly/monthly), owner claim flows, banner review, featured inventory, Premium billing, and admin moderation. RustIP ships those as one coherent PHP product aligned with a live Rust directory — so you brand, price, and sell instead of assembling forums of half-finished scripts.
