Ark: Survival Evolved Server Setup
Tame dinosaurs and explore ARK with your own dedicated server.
Order Your Server
Visit the Ark: Survival Evolved page on venomhosting.co.uk and click "Start Ark Trial".
Configure Your Server
Enter a server name and choose your map during checkout. These can be changed later in the panel.
Complete Checkout
Confirm your order. Your server is created instantly.
Access the Game Panel
Access the game panel via the Services page on this website, or through the Game Panel link in the account dropdown menu at the top of the page.
Start Your Server
Your server starts automatically after creation. Ark may take 3–5 minutes to fully start due to map loading — this is normal.
Find Your Server
Your server will appear in the Ark server browser using the name you set. Note your IP and port from the panel.
Connect In-Game
Open Ark → Join Ark → search for your server name in the unofficial servers list, or use "Add Server by IP" and enter your server IP and port directly.
Invite Friends
Share your server name or direct IP and port with friends so they can search for and join your server.
