    PixARK server hosting for builders and tamers

    PixARK takes the dinosaurs and survival of ARK into a world made of blocks. You dig, build, tame creatures and craft your way from stone tools to magic and tech, and it is a lot more fun with friends.

    A dedicated server keeps that world alive when nobody is online, so your tames and builds are exactly where you left them. Every plan runs on AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors with DDR5 RAM, and your server is ready within 60 seconds after payment.

    Survival, creative and your own rules

    PixARK can be a hard survival game or a relaxed sandbox. Your server decides which.

    Survival

    Gather, craft and tame to stay alive, with hunger, night and hostile creatures to deal with. Tune the taming, harvesting and experience rates in your server settings to match how much time your group has.

    Creative

    For builders who just want to create, creative mode removes the grind so you can build voxel castles, cities and pixel art with your friends.

    Editing settings

    Server options live in config files you can open in the panel's file manager or over sFTP. Make a backup, change the values and restart.

    Protect your builds with backups

    A voxel world is easy to change and hard to rebuild. The Backup System saves a copy of your server in one click and restores it just as fast.

    • Back up before a game update or a big settings change.
    • Keep a backup from before a risky raid or terraforming project.
    • Download your backups over sFTP for your own copy.

    You can also add sub-users in the panel, so a friend can restart the server or edit settings without your account password.

    PixARK, ARK and other block worlds

    PixARK shares ARK's taming and survival ideas but runs much lighter, with a 6 GB minimum on our list instead of 8 GB or more. If your group likes building more than raiding, it is a friendly place to start.

    • Friends join with the server address and port from the panel.
    • Set a server password to keep the world private.
    • Your plan can switch to ARK, Minecraft or any other game it runs with the Game Changer.

    Compare ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting, Hytale server hosting and Minecraft server hosting.

    How much RAM does a PixARK server need?

    PixARK needs at least 6 GB of RAM on our list, so it runs on every plan from 6 GB up. More memory helps when:

    • More players explore in different directions at the same time.
    • Large builds and many tamed creatures fill the world.
    • Your world has been running for a long time and has grown big.

    We don't cap slots, so RAM is what sets your ceiling. The 6 GB plan suits a small group of friends.

    Hardware we own, in Dallas and Amsterdam

    Your PixARK world runs on servers we bought and manage ourselves. Every plan uses AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors up to 5.7Ghz with DDR5 RAM, and Samsung NVMe storage loads new voxel terrain quickly as your group explores.

    Your PixARK world can live in Dallas, TX (United States) or in Amsterdam (Netherlands). Both have a 10 Gbps network, UPS backup power, advanced cooling and DDoS protection.

    PixARK hosting questions

    Can't find your answer? Ask our support team.

    How fast is my PixARK server ready?

    Your PixARK server is ready within 60 seconds after payment. Start it from the panel and pick survival or creative in the settings.

    How much RAM does a PixARK server need?

    PixARK needs at least 6 GB of RAM, so it runs on our 6 GB plan and everything above it. More players, bigger builds and many tamed creatures use more memory. There is no slot limit, so RAM is what sets your ceiling.

    Can I play in creative mode?

    Yes. PixARK has survival and creative modes, and you choose how your server plays in its settings. Make a backup before switching a running world.

    Can I change the taming and XP rates?

    Yes. Open your server's config files in the file manager or over sFTP, change the rates and restart the server.

    Can I upload my existing PixARK world?

    Yes. Upload your save files with the file manager or over sFTP and restart the server. Our support team can help with the move.

    Can friends help manage the server?

    Yes. Add them as sub-users in the panel so they can restart the server or edit files without your account password.

    Can I switch to ARK later?

    Yes. Open the Game Changer and pick ARK or any other game your plan runs. ARK needs at least 8 GB of RAM, so you may need a bigger plan. Make a backup before you switch.

    Where are your PixARK servers hosted?

    In Dallas, TX (United States) and Amsterdam (Netherlands), on hardware we own in both locations. Choose either one when you order and move later with the Location Changer.
