No modded server is the same, and all games vary in how heavily modding can affect performance. We ask this to further estimate which plan is right for you. You can always upgrade or downgrade at any time.

ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting, Explained

What is ARK: Survival Evolved?

New to ARK?

What is ARK: Survival Evolved?

ARK: Survival Evolved strands you naked, freezing and starving on the shore of a mysterious island full of dinosaurs. You hunt, gather, craft and build shelter, then knock out and tame over 100 creatures and ride them: fly an Argentavis over the mountains, run with a pack of Raptors, or chase down prey on a T-Rex. Tames can be bred for better stats, tribes share their creatures and bases, and the hardest goal is to summon the bosses that guard the ARK.

Tame & Breed.

Knock out wild creatures, tame them, and breed generations with better stats.

Build a Tribe.

Share tames, bases and spawn points with your friends, then take on the bosses together.

Why rent a server?

What is ARK Server Hosting?

A session hosted from your own game only runs while you play, and keeps everyone close to you. A dedicated server keeps the island running around the clock, so your tribe logs in on its own schedule. You choose the map, the rates, PvE or PvP, and the mods.

Always-On World.

The island keeps running whether or not you are online.

Your Rules.

Set the map, rates and mods, and add CPU or memory as your tribe grows.
