1. "min to no lag". Not gonna happen. This is because all servers experience lag.
2. 50-60 players on at all times. I've yet to see a server with consistently 50-60 players on at all times. This is just a pipe dream. If you were having that though and many had their own base, the urban sprawl and dino parking lots from bases would make even the best of servers on fantastic hardware a lagfest.


All in all your computer is a low end consideration for a server, even if you had -nothing- else being done on the comp at the same time. Ark is a serious ram hog and wholly unoptimized. Your wants just dont meet the realities of the game.

you can run your server just fine on that speed.
I had 59 people on my server once (pc server) and it didnt lag and my speed is only 10 megs up.
Compare your server to Nitrado or whatever its called and yours will be super fast :)

thanks for the replies and yeah i've used hosting companies before and it was laggy as hell but running on my pc seems to be good low ping even with around 20 people on ..

i had the same issue.I once stupidly paid for a host and found it laggy so cancelled.
I had a spare box and decided to run an ark server.Had it up for over a year but now its closed down due to lack of players.It all went downhill from september 1st for me.
That Patch,the patchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yeah idk what it is it's like my server will be populated for about a month or so then die out for alittle while then pick back up .. came close to shutting it down a couple of times due to no players
