Back up and restore an ARK save
An ARK world is a .ark map file plus a profile file for every player and a tribe file for every tribe, and a backup only works if you take all of them together with the server stopped.

Run an ARK cluster across several maps
A cluster is two or more ARK servers that share a cluster ID and a transfer folder, so your players can take their survivor, their tames and their gear from one map to the next.

Schedule automatic restarts to keep ARK stable
ARK slowly uses more memory the longer it runs, so setting up an automatic restart every 6 to 12 hours on the Scheduled tasks page keeps your server fast and stable, and saving the world first means nobody loses progress.

ARK Ascended vs Evolved: hosting differences
The two ARK games host very differently: ARK: Survival Ascended is the newer Unreal Engine 5 version that needs far more RAM and loads mods from CurseForge, while ARK: Survival Evolved is lighter to run and uses Steam Workshop mods.

Transfer an existing ARK save to GuavaHost
To move an existing ARK world to GuavaHost, stop both servers, copy your SavedArks files across with SFTP so the map name matches, and start it up, or simply open a ticket and let our team migrate it for you.

Sobre estes guias
O ARK vem em duas versões que se hospedam de formas diferentes, então o guia que compara Survival Ascended com Survival Evolved vale a leitura antes de você fazer o pedido: eles diferem em RAM, em como os mods são instalados, e em quanto são exigentes. Conectar tem um guia próprio porque a lista de servidores do ARK não é sempre o caminho mais rápido para entrar.
Depois disso é configuração e manutenção. O GameUserSettings.ini e o Game.ini guardam as taxas e as regras entre os dois, comandos de admin cobrem moderação e testes, mods vêm do CurseForge no Ascended e da Workshop no Evolved, e reinícios agendados importam mais no ARK que em quase qualquer outro jogo pela forma em que o uso de memória cresce ao longo de uma sessão longa.
