ARK: Survival Ascended server hosting in Australia

Dedicated ARK: Survival Ascended servers with CurseForge mods and backups.

CurseForge is where Survival Ascended keeps its mods. Paste the mod IDs into a labelled Startup setting in your dashboard and the server downloads and loads them on its next restart. The map is a Startup setting too, each with its own save, and so is the admin password that unlocks cheats.

ARK rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. Paste CurseForge mod IDs into a labelled Startup setting and the server downloads them on restart. The map is a Startup setting too, each with its own save.

This is ARK: Survival Ascended, the Unreal Engine 5 remake. The original, ARK: Survival Evolved, has its own plans.
