Palworld server hosting

As standard you'll have up to 10GB RAM. You can upgrade this at anytime through the control panel.

New servers you order today provision straight onto Palworld 1.0, so there's nothing for you to do – you're on the latest build from first boot. If you already have a server with us, you won't lose anything: 1.0 doesn't force a wipe and your existing world carries over when you run Steam Update in the control panel. Pocketpair do suggest starting a fresh world to get the best of 1.0's overhauls, but that's your call, not a requirement. We walk through the whole update (backups, the fresh-vs-carry decision, RAM, and mods) in our Palworld 1.0 server guide.

Palworld dedicated servers cap out at 32 concurrent players, and that's still current as of 2026. You can choose your slot count when ordering. Most co-op groups we host sit somewhere between 4 and 16 regulars, so don't feel like you need to buy the maximum — buy what fits the people who'll actually log in.

Yes, all Palworld servers hosted by LOW.MS will be fully compatible with Steam.

Currently Palworld servers take about 2 minutes to set-up from the moment you pay for your order.

Yes. Crossplay has been stable and default-on since Palworld v0.5.0 in March 2025. Players on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Mac can all play together with no additional configuration. The one gotcha: Xbox and PlayStation players can't enter an IP directly, so they need to find your server by name in the in-game community server browser. Pick a distinctive server name and they'll find you.

Currently the server list is very overloaded. The server will appear occasionally and we're waiting for the developers to make more fixes for this.

Provisioning is automatic. You'll have your server details in your email within a couple of minutes of checkout, and the server itself is ready to connect to a few seconds after that.

If you have a server password set and you directly connect, it currently throws you back to the main menu with "Incorrect password". A known bug they're trying to fix.

PC players on Steam can use either the in-game community server browser or Direct Connect with the IP and port from your control panel. Xbox and PS5 players can only use the in-game community browser, so make sure your server has a distinctive name for them to search on. Our server list and password issues guide covers the browser quirks.

Yes of course! We'll help you move your save over, and we even have an automatic tool for some hosts!

Yes, that's what PalWorldSettings.ini is for. You can adjust experience multipliers, capture rates, hatching time, death penalty, day and night speed, damage multipliers and plenty more. One gotcha worth knowing: once a world has been created, changes to the .ini silently stop taking effect because WorldOption.sav in the save folder overrides them. Our increasing max pals guide walks through the fix. For the full settings reference see Server configuration for Palworld.

Every LOW.MS Palworld plan includes automatic cloud backups, so you can roll the world back from the control panel if something goes wrong. If memory is the issue you can upgrade your plan at any time. The single biggest memory tweak most operators don't know about is setting `bEnableInvaderEnemy=False`, which genuinely helps with the memory creep on long-running servers.

No! We have very generous RAM packages, and do not overfill our nodes. Crashing is not a thing with us.

Yes. Palworld mods are .pak files plus UE4SS scripted mods, mostly hosted on Nexus Mods (there's no Steam Workshop integration). Heads up: post-patch 0.4.1.5 you need the Palworld-specific RE-UE4SS build, not the generic UE4SS — the generic version will crash your server. Every player connecting needs matching mod files locally, so keep your group in sync. Our mods guide walks through installation.

Set an `AdminPassword` in PalWorldSettings.ini, connect to your server, open chat, and type `/AdminPassword `. That authenticates you, and from there you can use commands like `/KickPlayer`, `/BanPlayer`, `/UnBanPlayer`, `/ShowPlayers`, `/Save`, `/Broadcast`, and `/Shutdown`. Worth noting: Pocketpair has deprecated the old RCON protocol in favour of a REST API, so in-game admin commands and the Web Console in TCAdmin are the practical way to manage your server remotely.

Yes. Our migration guide walks through the process, and our support team can help if you hit anything unusual. You can also import an existing single-player save — see converting your Palworld save for how.

Pocketpair officially recommends 16 GB of RAM for a dedicated server. In practice it depends on how big your base gets and how many players you're hosting. Our plans come with generous RAM as standard, and you can scale up from the control panel if your server starts stuttering. See the Palworld hosting page for current options.

Your Palworld is set up instantly after payment, allowing you to start hosting without delays.

Yes! Our user-friendly control panel gives you full control over game modes, maps, and server configurations over your Palworld server.

We provide 24/7 support for your Palworld server through live chat and email to assist you with any questions or technical issues.

Absolutely. If you're not satisfied with your Palworld server. We provide a full refund within the first 5 days.

Our Palworld servers use top-tier Intel or AMD hardware to ensure your server runs super smoothly!
