Just wanted to say I really appreciate the timely response to server issues. Excellent service.
Just wanted to say how amazing indifferent broccoli! They are always do their best to accommodate And help everyone. Never knew Such an amazing hosting service could exist!
Ngl I had a really positive experience with Zomboid and same for MC. Although I'm still getting used to the difference for server set up. It's been really easy to do and fast as well. The performance of the server even was really good although we were using the Lost Cities mod (which is a fairly tanky mod). 10/10 Host.
Our server is loving your host service so far. It feels like I have the freedoms of a home-based server with the stability and security of a hosted server. At a price that you can't beat. Thank you for what yall do

Running an ARK dedicated server is... complicated.
System Requirements
To run an ARK dedicated server, you'll want a system with at least 6GB of RAM and a quad-core processor. The operating system must be 64-bit and should be Linux (Ubuntu 16.04+), Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit), Windows Server 2012-2022. Modded servers will require even more processing power.
Installation
You can install the server from your Steam library or use SteamCMD.
For Linux:
steamcmd +force_install_dir ./Ark_Dedicated_Server +login anonymous +app_update 376030 +quit
For Windows:
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\Ark_Dedicated_Server +login anonymous +app_update 376030 +quit
You'll need to forward UDP Port 27015, 7777, 7778 and TCP 27020
Seasonal Events can be toggled using their respective parameters in the .bat and .sh files.
Starting the server
You can launch the dedicated server from your steam library which will give you a terminal window to view.
You can also run the server by using command line in the server's directory after creating a .bat or .sh file to run it:
Windows:
start_server.bat
Linux:
./server_start.sh
