Run an ARK server
without the suffering.
YAAASS is a complete server lifecycle suite — install, configure, cluster, monitor, back up, and recover ARK: Survival Ascended servers from one web app. Easy enough for your gaming PC. Serious enough for a 12‑map cluster.

- 1 click to update
- ∞ servers per box*
*until your RAM files a complaint.

Four minutes. Flat.
-
01
Install YAAASS
One installer on the machine that will host your servers. It brings its own runtime, sets up the service, and opens the web UI on your LAN.
> yaaass setup — done in 40s -
02
Pick your maps
Choose The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Ragnarok — whatever's out. YAAASS pulls the server files, assigns ports, and wires the cluster ID for you.

Hit deploy
Servers boot, mods sync, backups schedule themselves, and the status board goes green. Share the join link. Go play.
✓ 3 servers online — cluster healthy
It's a web app
Runs on the server.
Opens in any browser.
Phone on the couch, laptop at work, tablet in bed. Same control panel, full power, role-based access for the admins you actually trust.
I void warranties. ☠ not really, it's fine
The cluster is fine. I am fine.

The whole lifecycle
Everything you were doing
with eleven batch files.
Yes. It does that.
Wildcard fixed nothing today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
◉
Cluster-native
Built for multi-map from the first line of code. Shared cluster storage, synced settings, per-server overrides, and transfers that actually work.
↻
Backups & recovery
Scheduled, versioned, integrity-checked saves with off-box targets. Roll a single tribe's data or the entire map back to any restore point.
⚡
Crash guard
Watchdog catches hangs, OOMs and failed updates, restarts cleanly, and tells you what happened — before your players do.
☰
Mod management
Install, pin, order and stage mod updates across the whole cluster. Test on one server, promote when it doesn't explode.
⏲
Schedules & automation
Restarts, wipes, events, messages, update windows. Warn players in chat, drain the server, do the thing, come back green.
👤
Admin & RCON
Player list, bans, whitelist, tribe lookup and full RCON console in the browser. Delegate access without handing over your desktop.
✎
Config, made human
Every INI setting as a labelled control with sane defaults and a description. Or flip to raw text — you're an adult.
📱
Alerts anywhere
Discord, webhook, or email when a server drops, a backup fails, or disk gets thin. Silence the ones you don't care about.
Tamed 40 dodos. Zero regrets.
Notes from the admin desk
It's not lag. It's ambience.
Backup exists. Panic cancelled. ♥
Read the patch notes. Cried. Deployed anyway.

Caffeine. Admin. Repeat.

Pricing
Price? Still arguing about it. Watch this space.
We're still landing the exact model — the shape of it, the number, all of it. What we know for sure: the core suite runs on your hardware, on your box, with your data.
Price: genuinely TBD. ♥
The core suite
Price: TBDnumber not picked yet
- Unlimited servers and clusters
- Deploy, monitor, backup, recover
- Mods, schedules, RCON, alerts
- Self-hosted — your box, your data
- One app for the whole cluster
Plugins
Maybea paid ecosystem
- Deep Discord bots & player portals
- Off-site backup providers
- Advanced analytics & economy tools
- Third-party devs get a real API
Core pricing isn't set yet — not the number, not the shape of the deal. Plugins are their own separate question mark too.
Straight answer: we haven't decided yet. Get on the list and you'll be told before anyone else — and early adopters get the good deal either way.
Questions
The things you were
about to ask.
Ask me anything. ♥
No. You cannot have admin.
Do I need a VPS or can I run this at home?
Home is the whole point. If your PC can run the game, it can host with YAAASS. The app handles service install, port setup, and gives you a join link. It scales up to rented boxes and dedicated hardware from the exact same UI.
Windows or Linux?
Both. Same web app, same features, same config format. Move a cluster between them without rebuilding it.
Does it work with my existing server?
Yes — point YAAASS at an existing install and it imports the saves, configs and mod list rather than starting over.
Is my data going anywhere?
Your saves, configs and backups stay on your box, going wherever you point them — that part's not changing. The app may check in with some anonymized health/usage data to make monitoring and alerts better, and there could be an optional account down the line for things like remote access. Nothing gets sold, and nothing's required to just run a server.
What about ARK: Survival Evolved?
Not supported, and it won't be. YAAASS is built around Ascended's server binaries and file layout from the ground up — legacy ASE isn't on the roadmap.
When can I actually download it?
Soon — and "soon" here means a real build, not a landing page with a mailing list attached to nothing. Drop your email and you'll get exactly one message when it ships.
My uptime is better than my sleep schedule.
Restarted it. It worked. Don't ask. ♥
