As someone just starting out with server management, I found the support team incredibly patient and helpful. Everything works just as advertised.
After trying several hosts, this is hands down my favorite. The support team is friendly and always goes above and beyond to assist.
Consistently stable with zero downtime issues. Great flexibility with what you can run, and the pricing is incredibly fair.
After testing multiple hosting services, the reliability here is exceptional for the cost. Support responses on Discord are lightning fast.
Genuinely the most transparent and reliable host I've worked with. The value for money is outstanding.
The performance rivals what I was paying $55/month for elsewhere, but I'm only spending $19.99 here. Incredible value.
ARK: Survival Evolved is an open-world survival game from Studio Wildcard. You wash up on a mysterious island with nothing and learn to survive by building a base and taming the dinosaurs and other creatures that roam the land, which you can then ride and breed.
With friends you can form a tribe and build one base together, and Steam Workshop mods add new creatures and maps. A dedicated server keeps your island running with the rates you choose, so everyone can play whenever they're free.
Plans start at $9.99 a month. Every plan runs ARK: Survival Evolved with unlimited player slots and 32 GB of guaranteed RAM.
We don't charge per gigabyte of RAM. Every server is guaranteed 32 GB, so there's no RAM size to pick for your map or your mods.
You can run 12 official maps, including The Island, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis and Fjordur. Our map guide shows how to switch.
Add each mod's Steam Workshop ID to your server settings, and players download the mods automatically when they join. See the mod guide.
