ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting in Australia

Steam Workshop mods, every official map and one-click backups.

The Steam Workshop is where ARK keeps its mods - Structures Plus, stacking mods, whole new creatures. 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: The Island, Ragnarok, Fjordur and every other official map, each with its own save. So is the admin password that unlocks cheats.

The original ARK with every official map, each with its own save. Paste Steam Workshop mod IDs into a labelled Startup setting and the server downloads them on restart. Cheats unlock with the admin password.

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