ARK Ascended Server Hosting

Due to a licensing deal between Nitrado and Snail Games, we are unable to host ARK: Survival Ascended game servers using our traditional cloud system. Communities can host ARK Ascended game servers using a virtual dedicated server or a dedicated server.  Using a VDS server to host an ARK server is more complicated than traditional game server hosting. We have listed some pros and cons below.

Pros of a VPS

  • WINDOWS REMOTE DESKTOP

    You login to your server just like your own PC on Windows, and configure your game server live on the machine. Copy and paste to your server. Download mods with chrome. 

  • HOST ANYTHING

    You can host anything: A Game Server, Teamspeak server, Website or Blog, E-commerce Store, Forum or Community, File Sharing and Cloud Storage, Email Server, Database Server, Development Environment, Media Server, VPN Server, Monitoring and Analytics, Personal Cloud, Backup Server, IoT Hub, Proxy and VPN Services, VoIP Server, Container Orchestration, Static Site Hosting, Gaming Website, Educational Platform, Personal Wiki, Collaboration Tools, RSS Aggregator, DNS Server, API Server, Blockchain Node and many more.

  • EXTREME PERFORMANCE

    The 7950x is at the very high end of gaming CPU's so you can guarantee your game server will perform better than 99.99% of other game servers. 

  • FULL CONTROL

    You control everything; you can view the raw files of your game server, edit config  files with notepad++ and much much more. 

  • GOOGLE CHROME

    Google Chrome is pre-installed so you can access the web easily and install whatever your heart desires. 

  • ECO FRIENDLY

    VDS cloud solutions are eco friendly as one machine is used to host multiple users. 

Cons of a VPS

  • PRICE

    A VPS will be more expensive than a standalone game server. The game servers that you traditionally see are hosted in a shared environment, typically 15-50 game servers per dedicated server. This can cause lag if one user has a memory leak or poorly scripted mods can spam the CPU until the administrators intervene and solve the issue. 

  • EXTRA CONFIGURATION

    Configuring your game server will have more steps to it than simply using shared game server hosting. There are guides we can link you to that show exactly how its done step by step. The entire process will take around 15 minutes for a first time user and a few minutes if you know what you are doing.
