Engineered for ARK

Tools designed to handle the massive memory footprint and complex networking of ARK servers.

Seamless Map Clusters

Link multiple servers together with our automated cluster generation tool. Allow players and dinosaurs to travel freely between The Island, Scorched Earth, and beyond.

Steam Workshop Integration

Install maps and mods instantly. Just paste the Workshop ID into the control panel, and our servers will automatically download and update the content on reboot.

Advanced INI Editors

No more digging through FTP files. Use our visual web editors to instantly modify Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini to adjust tame limits, harvest rates, and XP multipliers.

Zero-Lag World Saves

ARK world saves are notoriously massive. Our PCIe Gen 5 NVMe arrays process gigabytes of map data in milliseconds, completely eliminating "save lag" spikes during gameplay.

Custom L7 DDoS Mitigation

Protect your tribe. Our Los Angeles edge network filters malicious volumetric attacks specifically targeting the UDP ports ARK uses, keeping you online through the wipe.

Automated Server Wipes

Running a competitive PvP cluster? Schedule precise, automated database wipes and server restarts directly from the panel to ensure everyone starts on a level playing field.

The Ultimate ARK Hosting Environment

ARK: Survival Evolved—and its Unreal Engine 5 successor, Survival Ascended—are incredibly demanding games. They rely heavily on massive allocations of memory to load expansive maps and thousands of roaming dinosaur AI entities. Budget hosting providers often struggle to provide enough DDR5 memory, leading to rubber-banding, delayed hit-registration, and severe game crashes during server saves.

At Nitrate.Host, our entire Los Angeles network is built around the raw power of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor. This flagship hardware guarantees that whether you are hosting a heavily modded Primal Fear server, or networking a massive 10-map Cross-ARK cluster, your server tickrate will remain stable. Combined with our visual INI editors and Steam Workshop integrators, managing an Alpha tribe server has never been easier.
