Our server ranking system evaluates ARK servers based on multiple factors to help you find the best gameplay experience. Each server receives a composite score (0–100) based on:

Server Reliability (45%)

How consistently the server stays online. Higher uptime percentages receive better scores.

Community Activity (35%)

How active the server is based on average players over the past 7 days (normalized), with a small peak influence.

Connection Stability (20%)

Measured via ping jitter (variation over time). Lower jitter indicates more stable performance and yields a higher score.

Notes

Only password-protected servers are excluded from ranking. Official and unofficial servers are both included.

Our ranking system updates hourly, analysing the past 7 days of performance data for all servers. This balanced approach ensures that servers are evaluated on both technical performance and community factors.
