However, those maps are not always what you want. For example, if you&rsquo;re hosting a combat training server, you may want a map with custom arenas, custom monuments, lobbies, etc.<\/p><p class=\"no-margin\">\n<\/p><p class=\"no-margin\">Here, you will find step-by-step instructions on how to configure your custom map to run on your <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/vps\/rust-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"intercom-content-link\">own Rust server<\/a><\/b>.<\/p><p class=\"no-margin\">\n<\/p><h2 id=\"h_67b6f25884\">Select a Map<\/h2><p class=\"no-margin\">Due to the resources needed to make a detailed map of Rust, most of the maps are paid.
