SentrixNode ARK: Survival Ascended Server Hosting review
A cluster-ready ASA host with migration and backup tools, starting at $40.99 per month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SentrixNode hosts ARK: Survival Ascended servers through a web panel, with plans sized from 12 GB of memory per map. Its feature set is aimed at established tribes that want to move an existing save or connect multiple maps, rather than players seeking a low-cost single-server setup. The panel brings together a CurseForge mod installer, game settings, console access, file editing and schedule controls. Hosting is cloud-based, with five server locations across the United States and Europe.
Cluster management is a central strength: maps can be linked for character, tame and item transfers, with one server required for each map and all servers in a cluster placed in the same location. The mod installer supports mod IDs and load-order management. A settings editor covers rates, breeding and taming. For tribes changing hosts, SentrixNode also supports transfer of an existing save. These tools make it a better fit for groups with a defined multi-map setup than for casual players who do not need migration or cluster controls.
According to the vendor's pricing page, hosting starts at $40.99 per month, billed monthly, and a one-day trial is offered. The starting price is steep; tribes should weigh that against the need for ASA-specific management features. Backups run automatically on every server restart, and the panel also offers scheduled and manual backups with restore and download options. DDoS filtering is included on all plans, and support is available around the clock through tickets and the community. Choose SentrixNode if migration, cluster transfers and backup controls are priorities; look elsewhere if the price or same-location cluster requirement does not suit your setup.
