About ARK: Survival Evolved
Survive and Tame in a Prehistoric World
ARK: Survival Evolved is an open-world survival game developed by Studio Wildcard that drops players onto a mysterious island filled with dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and environmental hazards. Starting with nothing, you must gather resources, craft tools, build shelters, and learn to tame the wildlife around you. Over 100 species of dinosaurs and creatures can be tamed, trained, ridden, and bred, from the iconic T-Rex to flying Pteranodons and underwater Mosasaurs.
Tribes, Building, and Base Defense
Multiplayer is where ARK truly shines. Players form tribes and work together to build sprawling bases, tame armies of dinosaurs, and defend their territory against rival groups. The building system ranges from simple thatch shelters to massive metal fortresses with turrets and defensive creatures. Tribe management includes shared taming, resource pools, and permission systems that keep organized groups running smoothly on dedicated servers.
Maps, DLCs, and Massive Mod Support
ARK features multiple official maps including The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis Part 1 and 2, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, and Fjordur. Each map offers unique biomes, creatures, and challenges. The Steam Workshop mod community is one of the largest in gaming, with popular mods like Structures Plus (S+), Dino Storage V2, Awesome SpyGlass, and total conversion mods that completely change the game experience.
Why Host a Dedicated ARK Server
ARK is one of the most resource-intensive games to host. A vanilla server needs at least 6GB of RAM, while modded servers with large maps and active tribes can use 12-24GB or more. XGamingServer's AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors with DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs deliver the performance ARK demands. You get full control over taming speeds, harvest rates, XP multipliers, dino spawns, and mod installation. Your world stays online 24/7 with DDoS protection and automated backups.

Frequently Asked Questions About ARK: Survival Evolved Hosting
Below are some of the FAQs that our customers ask. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.
- ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting lets you rent a dedicated server to run your own ARK world 24/7. Instead of relying on official servers or hosting from your own PC, a dedicated server gives you full control over settings like taming speeds, harvest rates, XP multipliers, and which mods to install. ARK is an open-world survival game by Studio Wildcard where you tame dinosaurs, build bases, and survive alongside over 100 prehistoric creatures. Rent the best ARK server today and get 30% OFF at XGamingServer.
- Yes, ARK has robust dedicated server support and it's the most popular way to play. Dedicated servers allow tribes and communities to run persistent worlds where tamed dinos, bases, and progress are saved 24/7 — even when you're offline. You can run servers on any official map (The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis Part 1 & 2, Fjordur, Lost Island, etc.) or popular community maps like Valguero and Crystal Isles. Dedicated servers also let you configure every gameplay variable: taming speed, harvest multiplier, day/night cycle, dino spawn rates, and much more through GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini.
- Choosing dedicated ARK: Survival Evolved Hosting from a hosting provider offers greater stability, better performance, and a more secure hosting environment compared to running a server on your own. With a dedicated server, you have complete control over the game configuration, ensuring an optimal player experience without the need for extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, hosting providers often offer support services to help manage your server efficiently.
- Yes, with ARK: Survival Evolved Dedicated Server Hosting, you have complete control over the server and can manage it on your own. However, some hosting providers may offer additional services such as server administration, backups, and security to help you keep your server running smoothly. For us, you will manage your ARK: Survival Evolved server using our custom game panel.
- ARK servers support up to 70 players by default, though official servers typically run with 70 slots. With our hosting plans you can configure anywhere from 10 to 100+ player slots depending on your plan. Keep in mind that more players means more tamed dinos, larger bases, and heavier server load — so we recommend at least 8GB RAM for 40+ player servers with mods. For small tribes of 5-10 friends, our Novice plan works great. For larger communities running multiple mods, consider our Pro or higher-tier plans.
- Yes, with our custom panel, you can customize your ARK: Survival Evolved server settings to match your preferred setup, including server name, game mode, difficulty, player slots, and more. Some hosting providers may offer a control panel or other tools to make it easy to manage your server settings.
- ARK: Survival Evolved supports cross-play between Steam and Epic Games Store on PC, allowing players from both platforms to join the same servers. However, console versions (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) cannot crossplay with PC servers.
- If you're looking for full cross-platform play between PC and consoles, that feature is available in ARK: Survival Ascended (the UE5 remake). Our ARK: Survival Evolved servers support both Steam and Epic players joining together.
- Xbox players can play with other Xbox players, and PlayStation players with other PlayStation players on their respective official server networks, but PC dedicated servers like ours are for Steam/Epic crossplay.
- Yes! At XGamingServer, ARK server hosting starts at just $10.50/month with our current 30% OFF promotion. We offer 5 plans ranging from $10.50 to $42/month to fit any tribe size — from small groups of friends to large community servers running heavy mod packs like Structures Plus (S+), Dino Storage, and Awesome SpyGlass. All plans include DDoS protection, automatic backups, and our easy-to-use game panel.
- Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your ARK: Survival Evolved Hosting anytime you need.

- You can host an ARK server on your own PC for free using SteamCMD and the ARK dedicated server tool, but it comes with major downsides: your server is only online when your PC is running, ARK's server is very RAM and CPU hungry (6-16GB RAM), you'll get lag spikes while playing on the same machine, and your home IP is exposed to all players.
- With XGamingServer, starting at $10.50/month you get 24/7 uptime, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors, NVMe SSDs for fast map loading, DDoS protection, automatic backups, and one-click mod installation through our game panel.
- For tribes and communities that play regularly, paid hosting pays for itself in reliability alone — no more losing tamed dinos or base progress because someone's PC crashed or internet dropped.
