Built for ARK

Set up the way
your community plays.

Every server comes with a full game panel, so you can change files, settings and mods yourself.

Maps and mods

Pick The Island, Ragnarok, Valguero or another map, and add Steam Workshop mods by their IDs.

Rates and rules

Tune taming, harvesting and experience rates in GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini through the file manager.

Memory for dinos

ARK needs plenty of RAM: about 8 GB for a small server, and 16 GB or more for bigger maps, more players and mods.

DDoS protection, built in

Every game server includes DDoS protection, always on and at no extra cost.

How it works

From order to online.

  1. Choose a game and plan

    Pick the game, its server software where there is a choice, and the size that fits your player count.

  2. Pay

    Sign in with Discord or email, check the total and pay. Nothing is set up before payment.

  3. Play

    Your server appears in the dashboard with its join address and game panel, ready to configure.

Players in Asia?

Our one-click game servers run in Dallas and Amsterdam. For players in India, Malaysia or Indonesia, a Singapore VPS gives a much lower ping. You install the game server yourself, with full root access.
