ARK: Survival Ascended Server Hosting FAQ.
How much RAM does ARK: Survival Ascended need on a dedicated server?
12-16 GB is a realistic starting point, and clustered maps want more. ASA is the heaviest game on this list; a 6 GB plan will not hold a populated map.
Can I install mods when hosting ARK: Survival Ascended?
Yes, through CurseForge. ASA dropped Steam Workshop, so mods are added by ID to the server configuration and downloaded on start.
How many players can ARK: Survival Ascended support on one server?
20-70 depending on map and mods, with tribe structure counts mattering more than raw player count.
How do I change ARK: Survival Ascended server settings on GameTeam?
Settings for ARK: Survival Ascended live in GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini, which you can edit directly in the panel file manager. You can also describe the change in plain language and let the GameTeam AI copilot make it β it reads the file first, applies the edit and reads the value back, so you can see what actually changed. Console access, power controls, backups and schedules stay available either way.
