FadeHost ARK: Survival Ascended Server Hosting review
A $13.50/month 12 GB setup pairs crossplay and mod support with a seven-day trial.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
FadeHost provides managed cloud hosting for ARK: Survival Ascended, aimed at groups that want to run a server across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Its panel lets operators configure player slots, server name, and passwords, and switch among available maps while keeping a separate save for each. CurseForge mod installation, scheduled tasks, console access, and RCON give server admins several ways to manage play and routine maintenance.
Pricing is based on RAM rather than the game. The named 12 GB ARK: Survival Ascended setup costs $13.50 per month with monthly billing; FadeHost says 12 GB RAM is recommended for the game. A seven-day free trial is available without a credit card, and the service has no free plan. The published offer may suit groups wanting to evaluate a paid setup before committing, while the named monthly price makes the initial cost clear.
For day-to-day control, scheduled tasks can run restarts and commands, and the server automatically saves its world on stop and restart. Automatic backups include one-click restore, and DDoS protection is included. These tools, together with map-specific saves and mod support, make the package a fit for groups that want configurable server administration and crossplay. The listed platform is web, so buyers looking for a different platform should consider another host. FadeHost is a focused choice for ARK groups that value crossplay, mods, and routine server-management tools; it is less suited to anyone seeking a free plan.
