About Josh

Hello, my name is Josh and I am a Co-Founder and Managing Member of Blue Fang Solutions, LLC. I've been an avid gamer for most of my life on all platforms such as Nintendo, PlayStation, Wii, and Xbox. My love and my passion is definitely PC gaming though. I have played PC games since before I can even remember. I have found the job of my dreams where I can do what I love to do every single day and I turn it into a living. PC gaming and game server hosting go hand in hand because I can play the games I host with the people I serve. This is one of the daily joys of my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Seattle, Washington Game Server Hosting

Hey everyone!

We are proud to announce that we have officially expanded our game hosting services to another highly demanded location. We have offered voice hosting in Seattle for a long time now and we’ve had a lot of you guys request your game servers be located in the same data-center that your voice server is hosted from. We are ecstatic to be able to offer this brand new location to previous, current, and future customers in the northwest United States and Canada.

Our Seattle data-center is a SSAE16 Type II Facility and a part of the Seattle Internet Exchange; Westin Connectivity. This facility is SSAE16 Type II certified and offers direct connectivity to the world-famous Westin building via a fully meshed dark fiber loop. We operate a fully redundant network with connections to GTT, Cogent, and Zayo.

We are looking forward to serve clients in this area for the foreseeable future. We also have plans to expand to more locations early 2016.

ARK Survival Evolved Delay and Out of Stock Locations

First of all, we want to thank everyone that has already ordered their ARK:  Survival Evolved dedicated server from us. Secondly, we want to express our deepest apologies for the incredible amount of time it is taking for your services to come online. We have had people waiting days for their servers now and we understand how frustrating this can be. Trust us when we say we are just as, if not more, frustrated than you guys are. There was absolutely no way that anybody could have expected the sheer volume of hype and popularity for ARK:  Survival Evolved hosting, even more just the game itself. We want everyone to know that we are working nonstop to get our systems caught up and back to normal. We were not ready for the amount of demand for ARK Survival Evolved and it has slowed down our entire operation. Here are some answers to the most common questions we have been getting via emails and our social pages:
 
1)  When will my order be completed and my server come online and/or when will you respond to my support ticket?

We are incredibly backed up right now and therefore we cannot give any specific answers and/or ETA for your server setup time. Our support ticket system is also majorly backed up and we are trying to catch that up as well. If we are slow to respond please understand that we are focused on getting customer orders completed and servers online as our main priority right now.

2)  Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting product page says OUT OF STOCK, why?

We are currently out of capacity in almost all of our data-center locations because of the launch of ARK Survival Evolved. We are constantly shuffling out old customers that cancelled their subscriptions last month and replacing them with new customer orders wherever we can. We have ordered an immense amount of capacity for EVERY single one of our data-center locations. All of this new capacity should arrive over the next 2 weeks and be setup to take on customer servers as we receive new orders.

3)  What are you doing to prevent something like this from happening again in the future?

We have purchased new machines and added capacity to every location.  We have supply lines ready to deliver more equipment to increase capacity quickly so we can grow with the demand instantly. We will have all hands on deck ready to help our customers with their servers as we continue to offer 24/7/365 support.

4)  Will you be compensating customers for the days lost while waiting for their service to come online?

Yes!  If you paid with PayPal manual or a Credit Card during checkout we can compensate you the days you lost while waiting. All you need to do is submit a billing ticket and request that you be compensated. Your renewal date will be moved forward to reflect the amount of days lost and your new billing renewal date will coincide with the day your service came online. Unfortunately, if you have a PayPal “automatic” subscription we cannot move your billing date due to PayPal’s automatic recurring payment profile restrictions.

5)  I don’t want to wait anymore for my server to come online. Can I get a refund?

Yes!  We are granting refunds to anybody who no longer wishes to wait for their services to come online. All you need to do is submit a billing ticket and provide us with your order ID number and ask that it be refunded. Your money will be returned in full and no services will be rendered to you.

 
If you have received your server information (as in your order has been completed already) and you are trying to find your server so that you can connect and play, please use the Steam server browser and not the in-game server browser. To use the Steam server browser open up your Steam client, click “View” at the top left of the Steam window, and then click “Servers”. This will bring up the Steam server browser window. At the bottom left of the Steam server browser window click on the “Game” dropdown and filter the browser to show only ARK Survival Evolved servers. You should then be able to find your server.
 
The developers are also pushing out rapid updates to the game and therefore you must also constantly run Steam Update for your server so that it’s updated to the latest version of the game. You can do this by going to your Overseer 2.0 control panel and clicking on Dashboard for your service(s). Then click the “Steam Update” button shown on the dashboard itself. There is no need to check-mark “Verify” for any of the server updates.
 
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while we work to get to everyone and get our operation back to normal pace.

ARK Survival Evolved Server Hosting (coming June 2nd)

We have had so many questions regarding hosting ARK:  Survival Evolved that we decided to make a post to answer some of the common questions.

1)  Will you be providing server hosting for ARK: Survival Evolved?

Yes!  The ARK: Survival Evolved developers Wildcard Studios will be releasing the game on June 2nd.  Once we have had a chance to evaluate the server software we will be able to set a price and start offering the servers for rent.  The developers of ARK: Survival Evolved have not released the files to anyone and have so far decided not to partner or designate any game server provider as official.  As a result please be wary of anyone offering pre-purchase hosting or claiming themselves to be an official hosts as they have no idea how the server will perform.

The game should be released between 1PM EST – 8PM EST.  We will have ordering available a couple hours after release.

2)  Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting product page says OUT OF STOCK, why?

When we first add a product before release it is always out of stock.  We have never done pre-purchase of unreleased servers because there are so many unknowns about stability, performance and resource utilization.  Once we have tested the server on release day we will be setting our prices and sending out notifications of availability via Twitter, Facebook and E-Mail.  You will then be able to purchase your server.

3)  What are you doing to prepare for the launch of ARK: Survival Evolved?

We have purchased new machines and added capacity to every location.  We have supply lines ready to deliver more equipment to increase capacity quickly so we can grow with the demand instantly. We have a lot of experience hosting UDK/Unreal Engine games and have our systems primed for this purpose.  We will have all hands on deck ready to help our customers with their servers as we continue to offer 24/7/365 support.  In summary we will be ready to make sure the launch of ARK: Survival Evolved Server Hosting is as smooth and enjoyable as possible!

4)  Will you be running any promotions, giveaways or coupons?

Yes!  We will be providing some coupons initially via our Twitter and Facebook pages.  We are planning on giving away copies of the game as well via these social platforms.  Follow us on both our Twitter and Facebook pages for up to the second status updates!
