Survival & crafting

Ascended is memory-hungry. Plan for that.

ARK: Survival Ascended needs substantially more memory than Evolved did, especially with mods and multiple maps clustered. These plans are sized for that rather than for the old numbers.

Deploy a ARK: Survival Ascended server All games

from $18/mo · no setup fee · cancel any time

On every plan

The same platform, whichever game you run.

Full Pterodactyl panel

Console, file manager, SFTP, scheduled tasks, sub-users and database access. Not a cut-down skin over it.

Backups on a schedule

Set the cadence you want and restore to a point in time from the panel, without opening a ticket.

DDoS filtering included

Layer 3/4 scrubbing at the edge on every plan, not an upsell on the checkout page.

Switch version or build anytime

Change the server build, game version or startup flags from the panel and restart. No reinstall, no ticket.

Move region once per cycle

If your players move, the server can follow. We handle the world and config transfer.

No player-slot billing

You pay for memory. Slots are a config value you set, not a line item we charge for.

Server builds

Run the build your players expect.

Switch between these from the panel and restart. Changing build is not a reinstall and never needs a ticket.

Running ARK: Survival Ascended

What actually matters for this one.

Clusters across maps

Run several maps that share player data and transfers. We set the cluster ID and shared directory so travel works.

CurseForge mod installs

Mod IDs go in a startup variable; the server pulls and updates them on boot.

Sizing

How much memory you actually need.

Guidance, not a hard limit — you can move up or down a tier at any point in the cycle and we prorate the difference.

Up to 20 16 GB Single map, light mods

20 – 50 24 GB Single map, heavy mods

Cluster 32 GB+ Each map in a cluster wants its own headroom

ARK: Survival Ascended questions

Before you order.

Why is ASA so much more expensive than Evolved?

It is built on Unreal Engine 5 and genuinely uses two to three times the memory for the same player count. We would rather price it honestly than sell you a plan that thrashes.

Every ARK: Survival Ascended server runs on the same Pterodactyl install at panel.gghost.cloud. Run several games on one account and manage them from one place, on one invoice.
