About ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting

ARK is notorious for being resource-intensive, which is exactly why we provision it on our highest-spec AMD Ryzen and Intel hardware with generous NVMe storage. Steam Workshop mods install automatically — just enter your mod IDs in the panel and the server pulls them on startup. You have full INI access to tweak every setting: taming speed, harvest amounts, dino stats, XP rates, engram points, breeding intervals, and more. Every official map is supported, plus custom community maps.

Common Questions

Can I install Steam Workshop mods?
Yes. Add mod IDs to the server configuration in the panel and they will automatically download and update on each startup.
What ARK maps are supported?
All official maps including The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis 1 & 2, Lost Island, Fjordur, and community maps.
Why does ARK require so much RAM?
ARK loads the entire map and all entities into memory. 8GB, where plans start, suits a small vanilla server. Bigger maps like Ragnarok or 10 or more players want 10 to 12GB, and heavily modded servers 12 to 16GB.
Do players have to install the mods themselves?
No. Players download the same Steam Workshop mods automatically when they join a modded ARK: Survival Evolved server, as long as they own the game on Steam.
