AUTOMATIC BACKUPS

Protect your tribe's progress with our automatic backup system. Your base structures, tamed dinosaurs, and all player data are regularly saved to prevent any loss from griefing, server issues, or unexpected crashes.

Restoring a backup is incredibly simple - just select the backup you want from our control panel and click restore. Whether you need to roll back after a raid or recover from corruption, your Ark world is always protected. Set up custom backup schedules to match your server's activity level.

DDOS PROTECTION

Keep your Ark server safe from attacks, griefers, and unauthorised access. We've implemented enterprise-grade security measures to protect your server and tribe data, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay for you and your community.

Our infrastructure includes advanced DDoS protection on all plans, capable of mitigating high-volume attacks without affecting server performance. Your tribe can focus on survival and exploration instead of worrying about server security or downtime from malicious attacks.

FULL FILE ACCESS & MOD SUPPORT

Take complete control of your Ark server with full SFTP access and file management capabilities. Install popular mods like Structures Plus (S+), Awesome SpyGlass, or complete overhaul mods. Customise server settings, adjust taming speeds, modify harvest rates, and fine-tune every aspect of your server to create your ideal Ark experience.

Our control panel makes it easy to edit configuration files, manage mods, and adjust settings without needing technical knowledge. If you need assistance with mod installation or server configuration, our 24/7 support team is always available to help you optimise your Ark server.

What is Ark: Survival Evolved?

Ark: Survival Evolved is an epic open-world survival game that drops you into a mysterious island inhabited by dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Developed by Studio Wildcard, this action-packed adventure combines survival, crafting, and building mechanics with the unique ability to tame and ride over 100 different creatures, from massive T-Rexes to flying Pteranodons.

Players must gather resources, craft weapons and tools, construct bases, and form tribes with other survivors to thrive in hostile environments. The game features multiple diverse biomes, from tropical beaches to frozen mountains, each presenting unique challenges and creatures. Whether you're hunting for rare resources, breeding powerful dinosaurs, or engaging in PvP battles and tribe warfare, Ark offers endless possibilities for adventure and strategy.

Running your own Ark: Survival Evolved dedicated server gives you complete control over your gameplay experience. Customise settings, install mods, manage tribe permissions, and create the perfect survival environment for your community. With full server access and powerful hardware, you can enjoy smooth performance whether you're hosting a small tribe or a massive multiplayer server.

Best ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting

Build your tribe, tame an army of dinosaurs, and rule the island on a world that's entirely yours. An ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server keeps your bases, tames, and tribe progress online 24/7, so you can host an ARK: Survival Evolved server with friends and never lose a breeding line because a host logged off. Wabbanode delivers powerful ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting with instant setup and hardware built for ARK's heavy demands.

What your ARK: Survival Evolved server needs

For ARK: Survival Evolved we suggest 8 GB for up to 15 players, 10 GB for up to 30 players, 12 GB for up to 70 players, 16 GB for up to 100 players and 24 GB for up to 125 players, the same sizes the plan picker above recommends. ARK is one of the most resource-hungry survival games around, so the ARK: Survival Evolved server requirements run high. A strong CPU is essential ( ARK is CPU-intensive, especially with lots of tamed dinos and structures loaded ) and generous NVMe storage matters because save files grow large fast. Maps like The Island, Ragnarok, and Aberration each carry different load, so leave headroom for the one you pick.

Mods, maps, and tribe control

Learn how to host an ARK: Survival Evolved server your way: install Steam Workshop mods, swap maps, tune harvest and taming multipliers, and manage tribe permissions, all with full server access from the panel.

Why Wabbanode

AMD Ryzen 9 muscle, fast NVMe storage, enterprise DDoS protection, and free daily backups keep even a modded ARK cluster stable. Setup is instant, your subdomain is free, and our team is available 24/7.
