How to Set Up Automatic Restarts for Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server

This article covers setting up automatic restarts on your ARK server hosted by Host Havoc.

1. Log into the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
2. Click the Scheduled Tasks icon on the left-hand side.
3. Click New at the top, choose Scheduled Start/Stop/Restart, then click New directly below that section.
4. Give the task a name you can easily recognize, and make sure the Enabled box is checked.
5. For the type, choose Daily if you'd like it to restart at the same time each day.
6. Set the start date and time. This is when it runs each day. To confirm it's based on your time zone, see Why is my game panel not in my time zone?. Advanced settings such as the action type and waiting until the server is empty can be set under Advanced Options.
7. Click Save.

To repeat the task every 6 hours within a 24-hour period, enable Repeat Task and configure it as needed.
