What our users are saying

I rent a dedicated 7 Days to Die server hosting via 7d2d.net. No lags, etc. Web panel is great. Support on a Discord channel is awesome.

Great customer service and helpful support. I would use again. I’m running 7day WAR3ZUK launcher mods.

I was able to setup my 7D2D server with an upload from my old server. It works perfectly! The old server was just my own system, but now my friends and I play without any issues. As we were able to load the files we didn't have to start over! It's been great! Thank you!

ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting

Embark on an epic survival adventure in the prehistoric and mythical world of ARK: Survival Evolved with Supercraft as your dedicated server host. At Supercraft, we understand the necessity of a stable and responsive gaming environment in the diverse and unpredictable ecosystem of ARK. We offer more than just server space; we offer a partnership in your ARK journey with our 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Our high-performance infrastructure ensures exceptional performance, delivering smooth and uninterrupted gameplay so you can focus on taming dinosaurs, building bases, exploring caves, and surviving against the elements without any lag. Our easy-to-use control panel simplifies server management with one-click mod installation from Steam Workshop, automatic backups, and instant map switching.

ARK Server Hosting Rental

Average ARK server hosting cost is about $11-$20 per month for small tribes and $25-$40 for larger or modded clusters. Dedicated server cost is driven by high single-thread CPU demand during big bases and raids, RAM for tames and mods, storage I/O for frequent saves and backups, plus bandwidth, DDoS protection, and admin tooling.

ARK Server Hosting FAQ

We currently offer ARK: Survival Evolved servers in the following regions: US West (Oregon), US East (Virginia), US North-East (Toronto), Europe West (Paris), and Australia (Sydney). This ensures low latency for players across North America and European countries.

RAM and storage are not hard-capped on our ARK servers. Server processes receive CPU priority according to the plan you choose. This means larger tribes with extensive bases and hundreds of tamed dinosaurs won't hit artificial limits.

Yes. You can upload your ARK save files either via the File Manager in the admin panel or via FTP. This includes your world save, tribe data, and player profiles. We also support transferring characters between our servers using ARK's built-in upload/download system.

We support all official ARK maps including The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, and Fjordur. You can switch between maps at any time through the control panel. Custom maps from Steam Workshop are also supported.

ARK mods are installed directly from Steam Workshop through our control panel. Popular mods like Structures Plus (S+), Awesome SpyGlass, Classic Flyers, and thousands of others work seamlessly. We automatically update mods when new versions are released, and you can customize load order and mod settings through configuration files.

You have full control over ARK server settings including: taming speed, harvesting rates, XP multipliers, breeding timers, difficulty level, day/night cycle speed, player and dino stats, structure damage settings, PvP/PvE mode, tribe limits, and much more. All settings are accessible via your custom ARK server web interface or through .ini configuration files.

Yes. We support ARK clusters where players can transfer characters, items, and dinos between multiple servers. This is perfect for running different maps simultaneously (like The Island + Ragnarok + Genesis) where your tribe can transfer between them. Cluster setup is available through the control panel.

We perform automatic backups of your ARK server regularly, including world saves, tribe data, and player profiles. You can restore to any previous backup through the control panel. This protects against data loss from server issues, mod conflicts, or accidental deletion. Manual backup creation is also available anytime.

You can host your own ARK server, but it requires powerful hardware and ongoing maintenance. ARK is notoriously resource-intensive, especially with mods and large bases. With Supercraft you get an optimized dedicated server instantly with professional support and automatic updates. If you still want to try hosting it yourself, here's a quick setup guide:

ARK Dedicated Server Setup Guide

  • Supported OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit), Windows Server 2016+, Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+)
