Hosting an ATLAS server
ATLAS is a pirate survival game built on the same engine as ARK, and it inherits some of ARK's demands. Official ATLAS is made of a grid of linked server regions, and that is a very different scale from most private servers. Rented ATLAS servers are usually private or custom setups, and those tend to be much smaller than the official world.
What to compare
- RAM and CPU headroom. Like ARK, ATLAS can be memory-hungry, especially with several regions running. Ask the provider what they recommend for your player count and how many regions you plan to run.
- Custom grid support. If you want multiple linked regions, confirm the host supports that, because a single region is much simpler than a full grid.
- Mods. Check whether the host supports Steam Workshop mods and how easily you can manage them.
- Config access. Rates, PvP rules, ship and building limits are set in server files, so look for direct access.
- Backups. Ships, bases and companies represent a lot of time, so automatic backups and easy restores are valuable.
- Location and DDoS protection. Public servers attract attacks, and naval combat is sensitive to latency.
- Update handling. Confirm the provider keeps the server matched to the game version.

ATLAS server hosting FAQ
Is ATLAS similar to ARK to host?
It shares an engine with ARK, so it has some of the same demands, especially memory. Ask your provider for sizing based on your own setup.
Can I run a multi-region grid?
Some hosts support it and many focus on single-region servers. Check before you rent.
Do I need a whole machine?
Only for a large custom grid. Small private servers often work on ordinary hosting plans.
