ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting

ARK is one of the most resource-intensive game servers to host. A single map with 30+ players and mods like Structures Plus, Dino Storage, and custom creature mods can easily consume 12-16 GB of RAM and peg a CPU core at 100% during peak activity. AnubizHost allocates dedicated resources to your ARK server, ensuring you have the headroom for stable performance even during large-scale base raids and taming events.

Our servers use NVMe SSDs that dramatically reduce map load times and save-file write operations. ARK's world saves can be several gigabytes in size, and writing these to disk on traditional storage creates noticeable lag spikes. NVMe eliminates this bottleneck, keeping gameplay smooth during automatic save intervals.

We offer configurations specifically sized for ARK, starting with enough resources for a small private server and scaling up to cluster-ready allocations that support multiple maps linked together with cross-ARK travel enabled.

Run a complete ARK cluster with multiple maps connected through the obelisk transfer system. Host The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis, and Fjordur on separate server instances with shared cluster data that lets players transfer characters, dinos, and items between maps seamlessly.

Our internal network provides sub-1ms latency between cluster nodes, ensuring fast and reliable transfers. Shared storage for cluster data eliminates synchronization issues that plague clusters spread across different physical servers or providers. Your cluster operates as a single cohesive unit.

Each map in your cluster can be independently configured with custom settings, mod lists, and resource allocations. Run a hardcore PvP map alongside a relaxed PvE map, each with their own rules but connected through the same cluster. Our panel makes managing multiple instances straightforward and intuitive.

Install any Steam Workshop mod through our panel or by uploading mod files directly. AnubizHost places no restrictions on your mod selection — stack mods, total conversion mods, custom maps, and overhaul mods all work without issues. Automatic mod updates keep your server current when workshop items are updated by their authors.

Every ARK configuration option is accessible through our panel or via direct INI file editing. Adjust taming speeds, harvesting rates, breeding multipliers, engram points, stat scaling, and every other setting ARK exposes. Import configuration files from your single-player game or another server to replicate your preferred settings exactly.

Custom command-line arguments and startup parameters are fully supported. Run multiple instances on different ports, enable RCON for remote administration, configure auto-save intervals, and set up scheduled restarts to clear memory and maintain performance over long uptime periods.

Our control panel includes ARK-specific management features. Monitor player counts, server FPS, and memory usage in real time. Send RCON commands and broadcast messages to players directly from the web interface. Schedule automatic server restarts with configurable warning messages so players can save their progress before a reboot.

Automatic backups protect your world data from corruption, griefers, and rollback needs. Backups are taken at configurable intervals and stored redundantly so you can restore to any point in time. One-click restore makes recovering from issues fast and painless.

Crash detection automatically restarts your ARK server if it goes down unexpectedly. Combined with our DDoS protection, this ensures your server maintains maximum uptime. Players can rejoin within moments of any unexpected shutdown, minimizing disruption to your community.
