ASA on your own VPS
What is an ARK: Survival Ascended VPS?
With an ARK: Survival Ascended VPS, you get your own KVM virtual server running Windows with full admin access. The official ASA dedicated server is set up on it with one click via our Gameserver Installer.
ARK: Survival Ascended server hosting on your own VPS means you decide on mods, maps, clusters and every config file. Keep in mind that even a single active map needs a lot of RAM.
Your tribe plays on powerful server CPUs with NVMe storage. Your ARK Ascended VPS also gets a daily automatic system Backup and DDoS protection at locations in Europe and America.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ARK: Survival Ascended
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Your own Windows server with full control.
Managed game server hosting runs the game for you inside a fixed panel. Here, ARK: Survival Ascended runs on your own VPS, a Windows server with full administrator access. The official ASA dedicated server is set up on it with one click via our Gameserver Installer. You decide on mods, maps, clusters and tools, and nothing is tied to a slot plan.
- Full administrator access to Windows
- Your own mods, maps and clusters
- One-click setup via Gameserver Installer
With one click via the Gameserver Installer.
Once your VPS is ready, choose ARK: Survival Ascended in our Gameserver Installer and the official ASA dedicated server is set up on your Windows VPS with one click. Your players then connect with the IP and port shown in the panel. Experienced admins can optionally set the server up manually instead. Optional manual setup guide

Plan around 16–24 GB RAM per active map.
An ARK: Survival Ascended server typically needs around 16–24 GB RAM per active map plus a few CPU cores. A single map for friends fits a mid-sized VPS, while two maps or a cluster need more RAM accordingly. Large mods and high player counts add to that, and you can add resources later as your tribe grows.
- 1 map: around 16–24 GB RAM
- 2 maps: roughly double that
- Each extra cluster map: another 16–24 GB RAM
The cost depends on the VPS package, term and location you choose. Current prices are shown live in the packages on this page. You pay for the VPS, not per player slot, and you can choose terms from 3 days to 1 year, with discounts on longer terms. Payments go through Stripe.
