Web Interface

Access and manage all your ARK servers from any browser — phone, tablet, or PC. Complete feature parity with the desktop app, no installation required for remote users.

User Management

Create and manage user accounts with role assignment. First user becomes Admin automatically, with password requirements and admin-only account creation enforced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Web Interface and how do I use it?
The Web Interface lets you manage all your ARK servers from any browser — phone, tablet, or PC — with no installation required for remote users. It has complete feature parity with the desktop app: server controls, configuration editing, backups, mods, RCON, and more. It includes role-based access control (Admin, Operator, Viewer), user management, an activity audit log, JWT authentication, optional HTTPS/TLS, and real-time updates via WebSocket. Just open the URL and log in.
What is the Staging Server and how does it speed up updates?
The Staging Server is an optional background installation that keeps a full copy of the ARK server files up to date. It checks for new builds every 2 hours and downloads updates automatically. When any of your real servers need an update, the game files are copied locally from the staging server instead of re-downloading ~30 GB from Steam — reducing update time from several minutes to approximately 42 seconds. Your configs, world saves, player profiles, and backups are never touched.
How does the multi-server management feature work?
Our multi-server management feature allows you to control multiple ARK: Survival Ascended servers from a single interface. You can manage standalone servers or set up cluster configurations, each with its own settings, RCON connections, and backup systems. This makes it easy to oversee complex server setups without switching between multiple tools.
What are the system requirements for running the Server Manager?
The Server Manager requires Windows 10 (version 1903 or later), Windows 11, or Windows Server 2019+. For optimal ARK server performance, we recommend at least 16 GB RAM (32 GB for larger servers or multiple instances), a quad-core CPU or better, and an SSD for faster load times. If you plan to run the server and play the game on the same PC, we recommend at least 32 GB of RAM.
How does the automatic update feature work?
Our automatic update feature checks for ARK: Survival Ascended server updates every 30 minutes. When an update is available, it can automatically download and apply the update, then restart your server. You can also configure a Staging Server to make updates near-instant (~42 seconds) by copying files locally. You can customize this process, including setting update schedules and configuring pre-update messages to notify players of incoming downtime.
How does the Mod Manager work?
Our integrated Mod Manager allows you to easily add, remove, enable, disable, or set mods to passive mode. It automatically fetches mod information from Curseforge, creating a local database for quick loading. You can manage mods for each server individually or copy mod configurations between servers. The manager also checks for invalid mods to prevent server issues.
Can I use the Server Manager on multiple machines?
Yes, your license allows you to use the full Server Manager on one machine and the RCON Manager on a separate machine. This setup enables you to manage your servers from your main computer while still having access to RCON features from a secondary device.
