Best Palworld server hosting
A Palworld dedicated server keeps your Pals and bases running 24/7 and lets you tune the game, from XP to capture rates.
Why get a dedicated Palworld server?
Co-op worlds in Palworld only run while the host is playing, and the host’s PC does all the work. A dedicated server keeps bases producing and Pals working around the clock, holds far more players, and gives you full control over the game’s settings.
What to look for in a Palworld server host
Don’t go too small
Palworld uses more memory than most survival games, and usage grows the longer the server runs.
Schedule restarts
A daily automatic restart keeps performance smooth. Most hosts let you set one up in the panel.
Tune the settings
XP, drop rates, capture rates and more are in the server settings, so you can make it as grindy or as casual as you like.
Backups
Keep automatic backups on. A broken save after an update is the worst way to lose a base.
