Games / ARK: Survival Evolved
Coming soon
ARK Server Hosting in Australia
Tame the island's creatures, build a base worth defending, and keep a tribe alive on it.
Tames, breeding and imprinting that run on a clock
Mod lists that run into the dozens
A tribe that logs in at all hours
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.
THE GAME
What ARK: Survival Evolved asks of a server
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.
Mods are most of the work
A serious ARK server runs a stack of Steam Workshop mods, and they change what it has to load and hold. Installing them from a panel rather than over FTP is the difference between an afternoon and a rebuild.
One map at a time
ARK ships a stack of maps and a server runs one of them. Which one a tribe settles on is the first thing it decides together, and it shapes everything after.
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.

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
One shared map instead of several
Rules your group agreed on, not a stranger's

We do not host ARK: Survival Evolved yet
There is no date on this one and we are not going to invent one. What we do run today is Minecraft, Hytale, Terraria, Palworld and Project Zomboid, all on Australian hardware.
