Memory-focused plans
Resources that keep up as dinos and bases multiply
Our Premium VDS plans range from 8 GB to 32 GB, all on DDR4 ECC memory. As your server grows, upgrade from the customer panel and move to the new memory after a short restart.

On an ARK server the bottleneck is almost always memory
ARK is one of the hungriest game servers there is. Every dino, structure and container in the world is an object held in memory. Consumption that starts around 8 GB on an empty map comfortably passes 16 GB once players build bases and collect herds. Size your plan for three months in, not for an empty map.
Second comes the cluster. Servers that link several maps run one process per map, so a three-map cluster is effectively three ARK servers and triples both memory and core requirements. Running a cluster on one VDS works fine, as long as the plan is chosen for it.
Third are mods. Every Steam Workshop mod adds to both download size and memory use. If you run a heavy mod pack, budget one tier above the vanilla equivalent from the start.

Fast storage
World saves and map transfers without stutter
ARK saves the world at regular intervals and that file grows over time. On enterprise NVMe SSD the save completes without players noticing, and cluster map transfers benefit from the same speed.
DDoS protection
Do not drop in the middle of a boss fight
Protection is layered: volumetric traffic is absorbed upstream on the 10 Tbps capacity built with Aurologic and GibirNet, and the remainder is filtered inside our own network by MikroTik devices, XDP-based packet filtering and rule sets we develop in house. It is included with every plan; we do not null-route your IP or charge extra during an attack.
Full administrative access
Mods, clusters and config files are yours
Connect as root or administrator. Edit GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini freely, install any mod, design your own cluster layout. No slot limits and no mod approval.
Which plan for how many players and maps?
The table assumes moderate mod use. For heavy mod packs or multi-map clusters, pick one tier higher.
