A powerful hardware package including CPU performance with up to 3.8 GHz (4.2 GHz or 4.4 GHz Turbo Boost) is explicitly provided for you at a fixed monthly price in this case. However, you get a fixed hardware setup that you are billed for monthly.īest suited for single-core applications like ARK server software is the third server option - a dedicated server. Resource virtualization is also on the daily schedule when it comes to this model. Server performance is billed by the minute, so you only pay for the hardware resources you actually use.īilling method and scalability are the decisive differences to a IONOS vServer. You get access to virtualized resources that you can scale up or down at any time. When you rent a cloud server from IONOS you enjoy maximum flexibility. You can also rely on excellent download and upload capacities that come with the hosting providers’ state-of-the-art data centers. If you rent the hardware for your ARK server from a provider, it can run without interruption if necessary, so that the game world is always available online. In addition, the server does not run when you shut down your device. However, the ongoing resource consumption risks regular crashes and lags for you and all other players - even with an excellent Internet connection.

With a high-end PC, you theoretically cover the basic hardware requirements. In principle, you can create and host an ARK dedicated server directly on your home computer. You decide for yourself how much PvE and PvP elements should be weighted, who you play with, and when the server is online. Unlike playing on a publicly available multiplayer server, you are not bound to the operator’s configurations and rules. Your own “ARK: Survival Evolved” server offers you the possibility to freely design the game world and modes according to your wishes.
