CrossArk1 is live

Game server hosting with a community at heart

HFI builds and runs dedicated survival servers—engineered, monitored, and backed up like production infrastructure. Today that is CrossArk1, our ten-server ARK: Survival Ascended cluster, and the Discord that calls it home.

One game live. More on the way.

ARK: Survival Ascended is live today. A game gets marked live only when you can actually join it.

Honest roadmap policy: no fake counters, invented player numbers, or countdown clocks. If it says live, you can join it today.

Why HFI

Run like production infrastructure

Most community servers die of neglect. HFI is built by an IT engineer and operated with the discipline of production systems—the unglamorous part is the product.

Hourly backups

World states and player characters saved every 60 minutes; restores are a ticket away.

Cold-storage snapshots

Daily VM snapshots on dedicated on-site storage, replicated off-site.

Staggered daily restarts

Each map restarts on its own morning slot to keep cluster impact low.

Curated mods and tuning

Deliberate quality-of-life changes on an official baseline. Stability first.

A community at heart

The servers are the product. The Discord is the place.

HFI has been player-run since 2022. Announcements, events, support tickets, and the people you will actually play with are together in one Discord.

Events

Boosted-rate weekends and community events announced ahead of time.

Real support

Ticket-based help from actual admins, including character restores.

Linked accounts

One Discord account across the website, shop, and game servers.

One HFI platform

Servers, identity, and Shards—together.

One account everywhere

Sign in with Discord once, link your in-game identity, and use that account across the community, shop, and future hosting portal.

Fair optional support

Earn Shards while you play or add more when you choose to support the network. Competitive power is not for sale.
