Test Your Connection Before Choosing a Server Location
Server location can affect latency for every player connecting to your ARK world. Before ordering, use the 1Gbits Looking Glass to compare network latency and routing from available locations.
Choose a location that provides a reasonable connection for the majority of your players rather than selecting a data center based only on geographic distance.
What Is an ARK: Survival Evolved Dedicated Server?
An ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server is a physical server used to keep your ARK world online with dedicated CPU, memory, storage, and network resources.
It gives you administrative control over the server environment, maps, gameplay settings, player limits, server files, and supported mods without relying on one player's gaming PC to host the session.
Dedicated hardware is particularly useful when your ARK environment requires more resources for larger communities, extensive mod collections, multiple maps, or several server instances.
Choosing Hardware for an ARK: Survival Evolved Server
ARK server workloads can vary considerably depending on player count, maps, mods, server settings, and whether you run one or multiple server instances. Use the following specifications as selection guidance rather than fixed requirements.
ARK Dedicated Server Features
Choose hardware according to the size and complexity of the ARK: Survival Evolved environment you plan to run.
High-Frequency CPU
Prioritize strong single-thread performance and enough physical cores for your expected players, maps, mods, and server instances.
Full Server Control
Manage your operating system, ARK configuration files, server settings, network configuration, and administrative tools.
Dedicated Server Resources
Run your ARK environment on physical server resources instead of a virtual machine sharing the same physical host.
SSD or NVMe Storage
Use fast storage for ARK server files, world saves, game updates, and Steam Workshop mod files.
Multiple Server Locations
Choose a data center based on where your players connect from and test network latency before ordering.
Steam Workshop Mod Support
Install supported Steam Workshop mods and allocate additional memory and storage according to the size of your mod collection.
ARK Server Use Cases
Private Tribe Servers
Run a persistent ARK world for friends, tribes, or invite-only communities without depending on one player's computer to remain online.
PvP Servers
Configure rates, maps, gameplay rules, administrative settings, and supported mods for competitive communities.
PvE Communities
Maintain a persistent cooperative environment with custom gameplay rules, progression settings, and server configurations.
Modded ARK Servers
Use Steam Workshop mods and allocate additional CPU, memory, and storage according to the number and complexity of the mods installed.
Multi-Map and Clustered Servers
Run multiple ARK server instances when the selected hardware provides enough CPU, memory, storage, and network capacity for the combined workload.
Public ARK Communities
Use dedicated hardware when larger player populations or more demanding server configurations require additional resources and administrative control.
Frequently Asked Questions
An ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server is a physical server used to keep an ARK world online with dedicated hardware resources and administrative control over the server environment.
16 GB can be used as a starting point for some configurations, while 32 GB or more may be appropriate for larger communities, extensive mods, multiple maps, or several server instances. Actual memory usage depends on your configuration.
Prioritize a modern processor with strong single-thread performance and enough physical cores for your workload. High-frequency processors are generally more relevant than choosing a CPU based only on total core count.
NVMe is not mandatory. SSD storage can also be suitable for ARK hosting. NVMe can provide faster storage operations for game files, world saves, updates, and larger mod collections.
Yes. ARK: Survival Evolved supports Steam Workshop mods. Larger mod collections may require additional RAM, storage, and processing capacity.
Yes, multiple ARK server instances can run on the same physical server when sufficient CPU, RAM, storage, and network resources are available. Size the server for the combined workload rather than one map alone.
Choose a data center that provides good latency to the majority of your players. Geographic distance is useful as a starting point, but network routing also matters, so test available locations with Looking Glass before ordering.
A VPS can be sufficient for smaller or lighter ARK workloads. Dedicated hardware becomes more relevant when you need greater resource isolation, additional memory, heavier mod usage, multiple server instances, or greater system-level control.
Yes. ARK: Survival Evolved supports dedicated server hosting on Linux. Linux can be suitable when you prefer SSH-based administration, SteamCMD, and command-line server management.
A publicly accessible game server can be exposed to unwanted network traffic. Check the network-protection options available for the specific server and location you select rather than assuming identical protection is included with every configuration.
There is no single player limit that applies to every server. Capacity depends on CPU performance, memory, maps, mods, server settings, and any additional instances running on the same hardware.
Pricing depends on the selected CPU, RAM, storage, server location, network options, and current hardware availability. Compare configurations based on your workload requirements rather than price alone.
1Gbits Customer Reviews
Sophi A.We moved our ARK community to a dedicated server after our existing setup started struggling with multiple maps. The additional memory gave us more room for the cluster, and testing the location beforehand helped us choose a better route for most players.
Max C.Moving our ARK community to dedicated hardware gave us more room for mods and future growth without having to worry about shared resources.
