05 - ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED FAQ

ARK: Survival Evolved hosting questions.

Is the ARK: Survival Evolved server really free?

Yes. There is no paid plan you have to reach and no card to enter. You claim credits - fifteen an hour on the site, up to thirty more from the mobile apps, plus a daily spin - and five credits pay for one gigabyte of RAM for one hour. A 8 GB ARK: Survival Evolved world therefore costs 40 credits an hour, which your free claims already cover.

How much RAM does a ARK: Survival Evolved server need?

8 GB is comfortable for a small group on ARK: Survival Evolved. Bigger maps, more players or heavy mods want more. You can go up to 16 GB whenever your credits allow, and back down again afterwards.

How many players can join?

As many as you like. We never sell player slots, so the only real limit is how much RAM the world is running on.

Are mods and plugins supported?

Whatever the game itself supports. Pick the variant when you create the server or swap it later from the panel, then drop your files in through the file manager.

Can I upload an existing world?

Yes. Stop the server, upload your save in the file manager, set it as the active world in the config and start again. Your builds and progress come with you.

Does the server stay online when I log off?

It runs for as long as you have credits. It does not go to sleep because the last player left, so your friends can hop on whenever they want.

Where are the servers located?

Europe and North America. Pick whichever continent most of your group lives on when you deploy.

What does Premium add?

No ads, twenty-five credits in a single hourly claim, a spin every twelve hours instead of twenty-four, up to three servers per game, SFTP for bulk uploads, and teams of ten. The hardware is identical either way.

Your ARK: Survival Evolved world, online in forty seconds.

No card, no slot limit, no host to keep awake. Just claim your credits and play.
