SAVE & SWAP TO ANY OTHER GAME, FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST.Low Latency (No Lag) Servers with DDoS Protection
At Nodecraft we're gamers too, and we know that nothing is more frustrating than lag and crashes on your Ark Server.
Unlike other ARK server hosting providers, Nodecraft makes sure not to overburden our servers— this means we average only 12 customers per device. This ensures your game server has access more CPU cores, disk IOs, and RAM. More power per user means you will have protection against the common headaches of lag and crashes.
- 3.8+ GHz Processor (CPU)
Our servers primarily use an Intel® Xeon® E-2174G or equivalent.
- 64GB ECC RAM
Error correcting and highly clocked, this RAM is deployed for high speed performance and stability.
- Enterprise Grade Solid State Drives (SSD)
We use Enterprise SSDs to power all customer game servers.
- Enterprise Grade Hard Disk
We host our game servers on the SSD, but backups, the OS, and other files not required by your game server are run on standard disks.
- DDoS Protection and High Performance Network
DDoS attacks are a constant threat to game servers. Our network is built for network attack resilience.
- Linux OS
We've built our entire infrastructure on top of a Linux ecosystem to focus on performance, security, and stability.

ARK: Survival Evolved
You start the game off as a man or woman on the shores of an island named ARK. Your character begins naked, freezing, and starving so you must hunt, gather resources, craft gear (and other items), build a base, and brave the dinosaur-filled wilds in order to survive. You can fight, kill, tame, or even breed dinosaurs and other ancient creatures on the island.
Team up with your friends in PvE or create a PvP server and go head-to-head with other players. You decide! When you host your game with Nodecraft, you make all the server rules.

Our data centers have both external and internal packet scrubbing to protect against large-scale attacks against each server.

-
What is an instance?
Nodecraft allows users to save and swap between games and modpacks by utilizing the server instances available to each plan. These instances can be thought of like save slots that are able to hold a game server's files in a saved state for you to pop back into your server to play later.
