ARK: Connect to Server

The recommended option to connect to your server is by adding it to Steam favorites. 

Adding your ARK server to Steam Favorites

1

Copy the IP address found in your DatHost Control Panel.

2

Open Steam. Then go to View -> Servers in the menu found in the top left corner.

3

Click on Favorites and then Add a Server.

4

Enter your server's IP address and click Add This Address to Favorites.

5

Click Refresh and your server should appear. You can double-click the server or click the Connect button to join the server. If your server is password-protected, enter the server’s password.

6

If you had ARK opened, tab into the game. If not, the game will launch and automatically connect you to your server. You're in!
