I have been using vps1 for sometime now, and they are really providing a great service. I just love the fact that I doesn't put pressure on pocket, because I'm able to pay in bits. Paying less than 1.5 dollars for 5 days is awesome. All system running perfectly well. I really recommend them to anyone wants more power in their webhosting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What OS do I need to run an ARK server?
ARK server runs best on Linux — specifically Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 or Debian 11. These distros are stable, well-documented, and play nicely with SteamCMD, which you’ll use to install and update the game files. We don’t pre-install anything, so you get a clean OS image and full control from the start. No forced panels, no bloat. Just SSH in, set up your environment, and deploy the server exactly how the ARK community expects it. Windows isn’t supported on our ARK VPS plans — Linux gives better performance and lower overhead for this kind of workload.
-
How much RAM does an ARK VPS need?
For a smooth experience with up to 10 players, we recommend starting with a plan that includes 4 dedicated CPU threads and at least 4 GB of guaranteed RAM. ARK is heavy on memory during world loads, tames, and raids — shared or burstable RAM will cause stutters. Our VPS uses KVM virtualization, so your resources aren’t borrowed from neighbors. If you’re planning to run mods or larger maps like Ragnarok later, you can scale up anytime without migrating. But for most private clans, 4 CPU cores is the sweet spot to keep tick rate stable and AI responsive.
-
Can I install mods and custom maps?
Since you get full control over the system, you can install any mod — from Structures Plus to Dino Storage — and run custom maps like Aberration, Genesis, or even community-made islands. There’s no panel locking you in or filtering what you can upload. You manage everything via SSH: download mod files, edit Game.ini, adjust spawn weights, or integrate Discord bots. Just make sure you’ve got enough SSD storage and RAM to handle the extra load. This is your world — you decide what lives in it.
-
Do I get full root access?
Yes. You receive full root access via SSH from the moment your VPS is deployed. That means you can install SteamCMD, configure firewall rules, open required ports, set up cron jobs for restarts, or run third-party tools like ARK Server Manager or WebAdmin. We don’t restrict sudo, don’t inject agents, and don’t force you into a game panel. You own the stack — which is exactly what serious ARK admins want.
-
Do you offer servers in Europe?
Yes — our infrastructure is located in the Netherlands, Serbia, and Slovakia, giving you low-latency options across Western, Central, and Southeastern Europe. Choose the data center closest to your players to minimize ping, especially during fast-paced PvP or coordinated raids. All locations use the same high-performance KVM setup, so performance is consistent no matter where you deploy. No proxies, no shared IPs — just a dedicated IPv4 and direct network access.
