Arkalotapuss Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thinking about buying a server Hey thanks for having a look I want to buy my own server to run Ark on but I have no idea where to start or what to look for really, I was hoping for some suggestions from fellow Ark players who know what they are talking about when it comes to servers. I'm a little cheep so if theres a cost effective way for me to do this that would be awesome. Thank everyone for having a look.

Thank you but I dont really need a hosting service I'm looking for some information on owning the physical server and hosting it for myself. I appreciate you having a look. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I would just suggest buying a decent closet burner off eBay, loading CentOS onto it, then running things with LinuxGSM. This would require minor knowledge with Linux. Windows would also be do-able of course, in which case batch files should work just fine.

Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted September 5, 2019 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2019 Moved this thread to the administration section rather than hosting providers. 7 hours ago, JimmyCS said: More detailed information can be found here: https://ark-survival-evolved.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_Server_Setup A quick note regarding the following info provided on that page: Quote Doubleclick the extracted SteamCMD.exe file. It will start downloading the rest of SteamCMD. NOTE: YOU MUST OWN ARK: IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE SERVER Once you reach the prompt, type the following. Replace USERNAME with your Steam username, and PASSWORD with your Steam password login USERNAME PASSWORD This is not entirely accurate. You can download the server anonymously by simply login as anonymous: login anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
