Why you need your own server

As you already got this far, you already know that renting an ARK server is the best option for you. Here we'll cover the main reasons otherwise.

When you figure out how to build a house and tame dinos, adding friends to the game makes it so much more enjoyable.

The official Wildcard servers are quite rough, if you're lucky to get an available spot, they'll force you to compete with other more established tribes that have castles and lots of huge tamed dinos.

The unofficial ones might have boosted stats, like killing a Giga with a single primary, and these servers can be shut down with no warning.

The easiest option of running the server on your computer has quite a lot of downsides, making the game run way too slow with multiple players connected. Whenever your network or your computer is down, no-one else can continue playing the game.

Having a separate server, which often is a powerful machine shared by multiple accounts has only one main downside - it's paid. On the plus side, it's always available, and you never spend your precious CPU resources thus making your gameplay much better.

Platform of your ARK server

You have to know that ARK: Survival Evolved is not cross-platform compatible with most of the ARK hosting providers. So you can play ARK with your friends having the same platform, be that PC, Xbox or PS4. That should be the first option to check before checking the prices.

For PC the choice of hosting providers is huge (about one hundred), from budget cheap hosting to high-performance server clusters with Cross-ARK travel. Xbox and PS4 choice, on the other side, is limited: only 1 hosting for Xbox and 3 for PS4. You can find these listings here:

Xbox Ark server hostings: only 1

PS4 Ark server hostings: only 3

Location: which one should be chosen?

Upon selecting the ARK server hosting provider, one of the key points to consider is to lower the ping of most players you will have. Ping is the networking term, referring to the time it takes for data to reach the server and get back to your computer. Low ping means smooth gameplay. High one means you'll have lags and the game will be a nightmare to play.

If you're going to play with your friends residing in the same area, try to find the provider closeby. The cheapest server hosting might not be the best for you as there's no fun playing with a high ping.

For those of you living in the USA it'd be best to check this list of cheap USA ARK server hosting providers;

Price: choosing the cheapest ARK server provider while maintaining the quality

As we mentioned above, price should not become your only factor in selecting the best ARK server hosting for you, but it matters. The price mainly depends on the number of slots allocated to your server. This number is the maximum number of players that can connect at any single moment. Note though that in most of the cases it can support more players than the number of slots as it's highly unlikely everyone will be playing at the same time.

 

After you pick the platform, location and the number of slots, there's a couple of options that might might influence your hosting provider selection. Those are CrossArk travel, which is the ability to move your player data from one server in cluster to another, allowing you to change maps without losing your items and dinos.

 

DDoS protection is another option that might influence your ARK hosting provider choice. Some providers might require you to manually run the updates while others do it for you.

Dedication:
One of the most disappointing things about playing survival games is that it's easy to loss all of your progress. This can still happen in ARK: Survival Evolved, but not if you play on a PVE server (player versus environment). There players cannot attack each other or attack other's tamed animals. This gives you the freedom to build your base, tame animals, and fight bosses with your friends. You can get just as much fun with your friends at private game servers. But how to choose the best and cheapest hosting for an ARK server? We'll guide you through all the important options.
