Dedicated Ark console server...

[GIBURROWS]

Maybe the wrong place to ask but I want to rent a server for Ark, does anyone have experience with anywhere other than Nitrado?

I have a PC I could use to host myself but my electric bill would be insane(more insane than it already is)

Any help would be much appreciated.

So you think it would be cheaper to rent then pay the electric yourself? Not sure if serious

£12.99 a month to rent when my electric bill is £90 without my PC being on.

plus hosting externally protects the internal network and simplifies things. security no longer your issue, or the knowlege to set it all up with vpns ect.
regardless of electric bill. some times really convenienceis worth paying for

if you are self hosting no reason you cant shut server down when needed. i.e. between 1am to 5pm as an example.
and have it come back up when desired. would slow passive resource generation / groth but savve on electric ect

I caved and bought a nitrado server, tried to get it running on steamcmd but it wasn't playing ball.

I would have loved to have ran my own server but it would have needed to be on 24 hours due to my mates getting addicted and playing all hours.

So like I already said lol, it won't cost more in electric, vs rent

The PC I would have used is a 3950x, 32gb ram, 3080, 850W PSU and I know it would cost more than renting a server.
