Frequently Asked Questions

Notice: Gravel Host provides infrastructure only (VPS/containers). Customers are solely responsible for installing and operating any third-party game software (including ARK: Survival Ascended) and for complying with all applicable licenses and terms. Gravel Host is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a licensee of Snail Games, Studio Wildcard.

Gravel Host provides VPS/containers that you control. Customers can install the ARK: Survival Ascended server software themselves (e.g., via SteamCMD or the publisher’s supported method) and configure for PC/Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, or Windows where the game supports it. We provide infrastructure only and do not distribute or operate the game software. For best performance, choose plans sized for your expected player count and mod usage.

Yes—if the ARK: SA server software and your chosen platform support mods, you can install them on your own instance. We give you full access (SFTP/CLI/Docker) so you can manage workshop/mod files and updates. Gravel Host does not redistribute mods or game files; customers handle all third-party downloads and licenses.

All tiers run on the same high-performance infrastructure with Ryzen-class CPUs, fast DDR4 RAM, and unlimited NVMe storage. Tiers differ by allocated RAM (16GB / 20GB / 24GB / 28GB) to match your expected player count, map size, and mod load. Larger maps, higher player counts, and heavy modding benefit from higher tiers. Choose based on your expected CPU/RAM usage for ARK: Survival Ascended.

Deploy a VPS/container, then install the ARK: SA server software yourself in 1-click, choose your map and mods as desired. We provide the compute, storage, bandwidth, and DDoS protection; you install and operate the game server. This keeps you in full control and aligned with the publisher’s licensing and terms.

Yes. All Gravel Host locations include network-level DDoS mitigation for your VPS/container. Protection applies to your infrastructure; final hardening of the ARK: SA service (ports, configs, mods) is performed by you.

Infrastructure is provisioned in minutes after payment. From there, installation time depends on your steps (e.g., SteamCMD download, config, and optional mods). Check your inbox (and Spam) for access details. Our support can assist with common infrastructure questions.
