ARK: Survival Ascended is Unreal Engine 5, and it leans on both CPU and memory harder than most survival games. If your tribe is in the US, our two US locations, San Jose in California and Ashburn in Virginia, keep the server on the same continent as your players instead of in Europe.
What Runs Your Server
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, shared with other servers on the node
- Memory: DDR5
- Storage: NVMe SSD
- Location: San Jose, California, or Ashburn, Virginia
- DDoS protection: Cloudflare Magic Transit, included on every plan
USA ARK: Survival Ascended Plans
Same prices in California and Virginia, billed in EUR.
| Plan | RAM | Players | Price/month |
|---|---|---|---|
| THERIZINO | 16GB | Up to 20 | €27.99 |
| REX | 24GB | Up to 40 | €41.99 |
| GIGA | 32GB | Unlimited | €55.99 |
THERIZINO runs a single map. REX is cluster-ready, and GIGA is sized for larger clusters and heavily modded servers.
Playing Survival Evolved Instead?
The original ARK: Survival Evolved needs less memory, and its USA plans cost less:
| Plan | RAM | Price/month |
|---|---|---|
| DODO | 8GB | €13.20 |
| RAPTOR | 12GB | €17.60 |
| THERIZINO | 16GB | €22.10 |
| REX | 24GB | €33.30 |
| GIGA | 32GB | €45.00 |
Pick USA (California) or USA (Virginia) in the region selector on the ARK hosting page, then switch between Survival Ascended and Survival Evolved.
California or Virginia?
Pick California for a tribe on the West Coast and Virginia for a tribe on the East Coast. If your players are spread out, ask a few of them to open the plan selector on the ARK page: it measures their own ping to both US locations from the browser. For a tribe in Canada, our Canada node is another option.
Common Questions
Are mods supported the same way in the USA? Yes, the same CurseForge mod support and server settings work in every region we run.
Can I move my ARK server between regions later? Yes. Moving a server to another of our locations is free about once a week; message the team in the site chat and they move your save files over.
