Hey Danny,

First, purchase a server from a hosting provider to host an Ark Dedicated Server. After obtaining a server, you are required to install the Ark Dedicated Server software and configure the server to your liking. Once the server is set up, you can launch it to allow players to connect and play the game online.

As for the benefits of hosting an Ark Dedicated Server, some of the main advantages include the following:

1. Full control over the server: When you host your own Ark Dedicated Server, you have complete control over the server settings, game modes, mods, and rules. This allows you to create a customized gaming experience for you and your friends.
2. Improved performance: Dedicated servers typically offer better performance than playing on a shared server or hosting. This is because dedicated servers are designed to handle large numbers of players and can provide a more stable and reliable gaming experience.
3. Privacy and security: When you host your own dedicated server, you have complete control over who can access it. This allows you to create a private server where only your friends and trusted players can join. Additionally, you can set up security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the server and protect against cheating and hacking.
4. Cost savings: While hosting a dedicated server may require some upfront costs, such as purchasing server hardware or renting server space, in the long run, it can be more cost-effective than paying for a monthly subscription to a shared server or hosting on a game hosting service. Additionally, you can offset the cost by charging players to join your server.
