An ARK server leans on single-core performance: clock speed is what counts, not the number of cores. The RAM is dedicated to your server and never shared with another customer.

Which edition of ARK do you want to host?

Two games, two very different servers. Pick the one that matches the adventure you have in mind.

Can I switch edition later on?

Yes. You can order an Evolved plan and upgrade to Ascended at any time from your client area, or keep both servers running side by side.

Are mods supported on both editions?

Yes. ARK Survival Evolved uses the Steam Workshop (S+, Dino Storage, Awesome Spyglass…). ARK Survival Ascended uses CurseForge. Both are configured from your NorthHost panel.

Does the server stay online 24/7 when I am offline?

Yes, both editions run 24/7. Your tribe can connect at any time, even when you are offline.

How long does it take to deploy my server?

Your ARK server is delivered automatically in under 3 minutes once payment is confirmed. Your access details arrive by e-mail straight after.

How do I change plan if my needs grow?

You can move up to a larger ARK plan at any time from your client area: the change is immediate and you only pay the pro-rata difference. A smaller plan takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.

How do I access my server after ordering?

The delivery e-mail contains the IP address, the port, the FTP details and the link to the panel. That information also stays available in your client area.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are issued as credit on your client area balance, which can be used on any of our services. Write to support through a ticket to request one.
