Why it matters

When the netcode is happy, players stay. Reliable, low-jitter routing and consistent CPU allocations keep your worlds playable and fun for longer sessions.

Latency

Stable routes, less jitter

Uptime

Health checks & auto-recovery

Backups

Versioned & encrypted

Security

Hardened edges & access control

Games we host

Popular titles with sane defaults, room to mod, and pricing aimed at players first.

ARK: Survival Evolved

Fast saves, cluster travel, and mod support tuned for small tribes up to busy community worlds.

ARK: Survival Ascended

Riftspire‑run community ASA worlds only, funded by donations/VIP perks in line with ARK’s EULA and Nitrado’s exclusivity.

Minecraft

Vanilla to modpacks; tuned Java, backups, and rollbacks as standard.

Satisfactory

Factory worlds with stable ticks and room to expand, whether solo or building with friends.

Valheim, modded titles, and other dedicated-server games are also supported; if it has a dedicated server, Riftspire can likely host it, with ASA limited to community worlds under current licensing.

Platform: Dash · Nodes

Central control with the same neon glassy Dash vibe: operate by UI, API, or Discord.

Operate with confidence

• Dash: fleet orchestration, updates, backups with glassy controls
• Discord: slash commands, status, safe reboots via the Riftspire bot
• Nodes: resilient, observable, auto-recovery on your or our hardware

Premium nodes are tuned for game workloads with per-server CPU budgets, core placement, and headroom for busy maps, so budget tiers still feel good to play on.

Choose your path

Managed, self-managed on our infra, or bring your own hardware — all designed to be cheaper than typical branded game hosting while staying reliable.

Managed

We run it for you

Updates, monitoring, backups, incidents — handled.

• Proactive patching & mod checks
• Scheduled/on-demand backups
• Priority support

Self-Managed

CPU is shared across nodes, with higher tiers placed on less contended, higher‑clock hardware and given more consistent, prioritised access. Backup slots refer to retained snapshots per server; when all slots are in use, older snapshots are pruned as new ones are created.

Ark: Survival Ascended is available via Riftspire‑operated community servers funded by donations and in‑game perks, in accordance with ARK: Survival Ascended’s Terms, EULA, and Nitrado’s commercial hosting exclusivity. Dedicated ASA server rentals as a product are not offered here.
