ClusterIDs are system generated, and not something you'll be able to get from most providers, and on the whole shouldn't be giving out to others, since any machine that can scan the ARKNet that has your ClusterID would be able to Cluster into your Cluster.
A ClusterID is basically used as a self created password from the person(s) creating a Cluster of ARK servers to allow each of the servers direct access providing they all access a similar network. The Public Internet, in case you're wondering, is such a network.
Seriously, it's how how things like WorldWarARK work, allowing people to reboot their server into a cluster, swarm in, decimate a PvP / PvE game with things cheated in from a different server, then quickly leave...
A quick reboot later after changing INI settings to remove the ClusterID, and there's no possibility for retaliation.
I've wondered how these groups of malicious people manage to get people's ClusterIDs, and it seems now I know.
