The ASKA Dedicated Server Setup Guide provides a comprehensive overview for players looking to host their own ASKA server, whether locally or through a rental service. Hosting your own server offers several benefits, including a persistent world, customizable settings, improved performance, mod freedom, and invite-only access for friends.
The guide contrasts local hosting with renting a server. Local hosting can be free if you have the necessary hardware, but it requires strong CPU and bandwidth, and your uptime depends on your PC being on. In contrast, renting a server ensures 24/7 uptime, professional support, and no impact on your gaming PC's performance, although it comes with a monthly fee.
To set up your ASKA server, you'll need to prepare the game files. If hosting locally, install ASKA via Steam and copy the game files to a new directory. For rented servers, you'll need to compress the ASKA folder, upload it to your server using an FTP client, and configure it accordingly.
