The Best Palworld Server Hosting

The Palworld server quirk to plan around

Palworld dedicated servers have a well-known habit: memory use climbs the longer the server stays up, until players see rubber-banding, freezes or a crash. It grows with player count and the number of Pals in the world, so a plan that looks generous on day one can feel tight a few hours later. The usual fix is a scheduled restart every several hours, which is why restart and backup automation matters more here than on most games.

What to compare

• RAM headroom. The official requirements list 16 GB, and community guidance ranges from around 8 GB for a small group up to 24 to 32 GB for a full 32-player world. Choose for your peak group, not the minimum.
• Scheduled restarts and backups. Look for a panel that lets you automate restarts, take backups and restore them without waiting on support.
• Config access. Settings such as Pal spawn rates, raids, breeding and death penalties live in the server settings file, so you want direct access to it.
• Mods. If you plan to use mods, check that the host lets you upload and manage them and that they suit your game version.
• Location. Combat and base activity feel better with low latency, so pick a datacentre near your players.
• Player count. Palworld servers support up to 32 players, but plan the hardware around your real group.

Palworld server hosting FAQ

How much RAM does a Palworld server need?

Official guidance is 16 GB, and community sizing runs from around 8 GB for a handful of players to 24 to 32 GB for a full server. Memory also rises over time, so leave headroom.

Why does my Palworld server slow down over time?

Palworld servers are known for gradually increasing memory use. Scheduled restarts and turning off features such as raids are the common ways to manage it.

Can I play with friends without renting a server?

Yes, you can host from your own game, but the world only exists while you are online. A hosted server stays available for everyone at any time.
