We host ARK: Survival Evolved. ARK is a special case: usage depends heavily on the map, world age and mods.
The map before the slots
A heavy map can require a lot of RAM before population even enters the picture. World age, builds, dinos, bases and mods then add load and startup time on top.
One map, or several linked
A single map is ordered online, monthly. A cluster adds another layer, with several coordinated resources: to link several maps, we set the configuration with you before the order, maps and mods in hand.
