ARK Survival Evolved Server Hosting :Rent your server from £9.95/mo

Enter the mods' Steam Workshop IDs in FlyPanel: they download and activate on startup, in the order you define — an order that matters, because map mods must come before content mods. Every player needs the same mods, which their client downloads automatically on connection.

Not on a game server: clusters, which let players transfer characters, dinos and items from one map to another, are not offered at the moment. To link several maps you need a VPS, on which you install and configure your ARK servers yourself.

Every multiplier — experience, taming, harvesting, egg hatching speed, carry weight — is changed in GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini, editable directly from FlyPanel. Changes apply on the next restart, which the panel triggers for you. It is the most requested setting on a private server: official rates are deliberately slow.

No. ARK: Survival Evolved has no crossplay between PC and consoles: an Evolved server rented from Fly-Serv hosts PC players, on Steam and the Epic Games Store, but not those on Xbox or PlayStation. To bring PC and consoles onto the same server you need ARK: Survival Ascended, the remaster, which does support crossplay — at roughly twice the server memory.

ARK: Survival Evolved remains the lighter of the two and benefits from ten years of mods: it is the choice of heavily modded communities, and it needs markedly less memory. ARK: Survival Ascended is the Unreal Engine 5 remaster, better looking and crossplay-capable with consoles, but around twice as demanding server-side.

ARK: Survival Evolved is a paid game: every player must own it on Steam or the Epic Games Store to join your server. Hosting is a separate service, rented from Fly-Serv starting with the 8 GB RAM plan. The game is regularly discounted, which changes nothing about how the server works.

Fly-Serv is recognised as one of the best ARK hosting providers thanks to its servers equipped with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processors, DDR5 ECC memory and NVMe SSD storage. With anti-DDoS protection included and 24/7 support, Fly-Serv offers the best value for ARK server hosting.

At Fly-Serv, a ARK server starts at £9.95 per month, with no minimum term. The price then follows the memory you pick: the more players, mods and content you run, the more you need. Every plan runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with DDR5 ECC memory, NVMe storage, Anti-DDoS protection and the FlyPanel control panel included. Three, six and twelve-month terms carry discounts of up to 20%.

For a high-performance ARK server, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor is ideal thanks to its 128 MB 3D V-Cache and 5.7 GHz frequency. This is the processor used by Fly-Serv on all its ARK servers, ensuring optimal performance.
