Survival & crafting

The original, still the cheaper way to run a tribe.

Survival Evolved is far lighter than Ascended and has a decade of stable mods behind it. If your players are not fixed on the new engine, this is the better value server.

Deploy a ARK: Survival Evolved server All games

from $12/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 Evolved

What actually matters for this one.

Workshop mods by ID

Add mod IDs to the startup variable and they install and update automatically.

All official maps

The Island through Genesis, plus community maps uploaded over SFTP.

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 8 GB Single map, light mods
20 – 70 16 GB Single map, modded
Cluster 24 GB+ Per map in the cluster
