## FAQ

### What is ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting?

ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting lets you rent a dedicated server to run your own persistent ARK world 24/7. You get full control over taming speeds, harvest rates, XP multipliers, dino spawns, and mod installation. XGamingServer provides AMD Ryzen 9 hardware, DDoS protection, automatic backups, and an easy game panel to manage your server.

### How much does ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting cost?

ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting at XGamingServer starts at $10.50/month with our 30% OFF promotion. We offer 5 plans from $10.50 to $42/month depending on RAM, player slots, and storage. All plans include dedicated AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU cores, NVMe SSDs, DDoS protection, automated backups, and 24/7 support.

### Does ARK: Survival Evolved support cross-play server hosting?

ARK: Survival Evolved supports cross-play between Steam and Epic Games Store on PC. Console players (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) have their own server networks and cannot join PC dedicated servers. For full cross-platform play across PC and consoles, ARK: Survival Ascended (the UE5 remake) offers that feature.

### How do I install mods on my ARK: Survival Evolved server?

ARK has one of the largest mod communities on Steam Workshop. Popular mods include Structures Plus (S+), Dino Storage, Awesome SpyGlass, and total conversion mods like Primitive Plus. With XGamingServer, you can install mods through our game panel by entering the Workshop mod IDs. The server automatically downloads and loads them on startup. Players connecting will auto-download the required mods.

### What are the minimum requirements for ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting?

ARK servers are resource-intensive. A vanilla server needs at least 6GB RAM, while modded servers with mods like S+ and large maps can use 10-16GB+. You need a modern multi-core CPU and fast SSD storage for quick map loading. XGamingServer handles all hardware requirements with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors and NVMe SSDs on every plan.

### Can I host an ARK: Survival Evolved server for free?

You can host an ARK server for free on your own PC using SteamCMD, but the server is only online when your PC is running, ARK's server uses 6-16GB RAM, you'll get lag while playing on the same machine, and your home IP is exposed. Professional hosting at XGamingServer starts at $10.50/month and includes 24/7 uptime, AMD Ryzen 9 processors, DDoS protection, and automatic backups.
