FROM
A$24.00
first month
ARK strands you on an island full of dinosaurs with no instructions. What turns it into a long game is taming: raising creatures, breeding them, and building somewhere worth coming back to.
Almost none of that fits inside a session. Maturation and imprint timers keep counting whether or not anyone is playing, so the window to imprint on a baby opens on its own schedule, which is why ARK groups end up on a server rather than on a host's machine.

WHY MCHOSTS
Why host ARK: Survival Evolved with us
The clock does not care who is online
Maturation and imprint timers keep counting while an area sits empty and catch up when somebody comes back. Gestation and mating are the exceptions and need a player nearby, which is its own argument for a server people are actually on.
Hosted in Australia
Servers in Sydney. ARK sends a lot of creature movement over the wire, and a server on the far side of an ocean shows up as tames that teleport.
Rates are a group decision
Harvest, taming and experience multipliers are server settings, and they decide whether a run takes a fortnight or a season. A group agrees on them once, before anyone starts.
Support in your timezone
The people who answer your ticket are the people who run the server, and they answer in Australian hours rather than from another continent the next morning.

WHY A SERVER
Your tribe keeps different hours
The reason ARK groups end up renting a server is simple. Somebody works nights, somebody has school in the morning, and a baby that matured at 3am still wants imprinting when they get up.
A hosted world means the person on early shift and the person who plays at midnight are both building the same base, on the same short trip to the same box in Australia.
Imprint timers run while your tribe sleeps

Rules your group agreed on, not a stranger's
YOUR RULES
Pick the map, set the rates, hand out admin
The map, the difficulty, PvE or PvP and the three rates everyone argues about are on the Config tab. Change one, restart, and the server comes back the way you set it. Each map keeps its own save, so trying another one costs you nothing.
The console takes the game's own admin commands and shows you the reply, and the Players tab keeps your admin, ban and allowed lists. Nobody has to open a file to do any of it, though every file is there on the Files tab if you want it.
