You can also try talking to some people in the community servers posts  

You can switch maps at any time from your control panel for no additional cost. 
You would only be charged for things like add-ons of slots to the server or if you wish to purchase an additional cluster server. 

Glad to hear that this worked! 
Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. 

One way that you can push past this is the click on the "Clean SteamCMD" check box and then run the update. This has resolved most issues.

Question, me and a friend has been playing ark on a non-dedicated sever witch is the SP save, would we be able to move that save to a dedicated sever with y'all?

I do believe this is indeed possible, using a bit of file renaming magic. There should be a topic on this started here already, though in reverse, I'll see if I can find it for ya.

You should still be able to change the player levels / exp per level via the .ini files the FTP.
I will provide you with a link and to calculate and generate all of the values for you so that you can add it quickly to the .ini file, as well as provide you with instructions below of how to access your FTP, in the case that you are not sure how;
 
 
To edit/upload/save/delete files via FTP, use the following method:
 
Stop your server from the panel Log in to FTP using WinSCP (a free FTP software) using the connection details found in the "FTP Details" section of the game server control panel Navigate to the directory you wish to upload or edit a file After uploading your files in the proper directories, start your server from the panel You may found a download link for WinSCP here: http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
 
 
I hope these instructions were of some use to you. 

If you are having issues having the custom launch parameters appear, it could be because you need to change the map to custom.
Changing the map to custom will not cause a wipe. For instance, if you are using "The Center" as a map, the custom launch parameters would just need to include the map name in the beginning. 
 
TheCenter?Multihome=xxxxxxxxx?Port=xxxxxxxx?QueryPort=xxxxxxxxx?SessionName=xxxxxxxxWorld?MaxPlayers=20?listen?ServerPassword=xxxxxxxxx?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxx?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxxxxx?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedARKxxxx
 
If you are trying to add the RPG numbers / green numbers for damage, the line ?ShowFloatingDamageText=true  would need to appear at the end of the parameters. 
 
TheCenter?Multihome=xxxxxxxxx?Port=xxxxxxxx?QueryPort=xxxxxxxxx?SessionName=xxxxxxxxWorld?MaxPlayers=20?listen?ServerPassword=xxxxxxxxx?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxx?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxxxxx?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedARKxxxx?ShowFloatingDamageText=true 
 
^ This would be the end result to get the map to be The Center with Damage Numbers.
 
If you click on the ( i ) next to the custom launch parameters, there is already a preset copy and pastable menu for you to put in the parameters as well as copy and pastable presets for many different options.
 
If you are having trouble finding exactly which option you want, hit CTRL+F and search.

While it can be frustrating when running server, I prefer that it is handled this way and fixed to the best of their ability so that everyone can have uninterrupted servers in the future. Glad SS is resolving the issues, I have full faith they'll be up some time soon. 

That cable was pissing me off man...
