Dedicated ARK Server vs Non-Dedicated ARK Server

In the context of the popular video game ARK: Survival Evolved

A dedicated server refers to a server that is specifically set up to host the game and is not being used for other purposes.

A non-dedicated server is a server that is being run by a player from their own machine while also playing the game.

Performance

Dedicated Server provides better performance and stability since it is solely focused on running the game.

Non-Dedicated Server may experience performance issues, especially if the host player has a slower or less powerful computer.

Player Limit

Dedicated Server can handle more players simultaneously, depending on the server's hardware and settings.

Non-Dedicated Server has a lower player cap due to limitations imposed by the host player's computer and internet connection.

Availability

Dedicated Server can be online 24/7, providing uninterrupted gameplay for players.

Non-Dedicated Server depends on the host player, as they need to be online and playing for others to access the server.

Save Progress

The world on dedicated server persists even when no players are online, allowing for continuous progress.

In Non-Dedicated Server progress is tied to the host player, meaning the game world only exists while they are online.

Security and Stability

Dedicated Server are more secure and stable since it's not affected by changes or issues on the host player's computer.

Non-Dedicated Server are vulnerable to crashes or issues on the host player's machine, which can disrupt gameplays for all players.
