You will be able to host your own server from your computer.

i dont want to host one from my own pc that would just eat up all my bandwidth . i know there are companies who host servers for you like the survival servers page you have linked at the top of the forum . what i wanted to know was do we have to use a company like survival servers or will the games company themselves who are are developing ARK have servers for us to rent directly of them ?

I am trying to log into our host server but I never see the name on the list. Yes all the necessary buttons are checked and I still can not see the server name even after refreshing 10-20 times.
Any help on why I don't see name? Does the person who made the server have to be logged in to see it?

I would also recommend survival Servers, found them on a comparison Site and have to say the service for cost is pretty Darn good. :D

Found Survival Servers on http://comparegamehosting.com/game/ark- ... l-evolved/

What kind of bandwith are you workin with?

Currently I'm working on getting a server up on my local machine, but eventually I'm kicking over to a standalone server, which you can pick up for $75-$200 bucks used (dual CPU, 16GB/32GB for $80 I found) on 100mbs copper line. Need to upgrade my router (t90i or nighthawk 6... depending on funding) and you should be set. No fees, 24/7 hosting, multiple titles, and any problems you can fix on the spot. No "oops" errors in your back ups, no extra charges for multiple rollbacks.

Honestly, 300 bucks you should basically be your own hosting company. Hell, You can get a mini-rack and some used cisco blade servers for say $1000 and start chargin.
