Xbox and PlayStation players cannot type an address. Your server is always in the community server list, so they search for its name there instead.
Common problems
Include the port
Type the whole address, including the colon and the number after it.
Version mismatch
The server updates itself every time it starts. After a Palworld patch, restart the server and update the game on every device.
Settings went back
Settings from the panel are written into PalWorldSettings.ini on every start. Change those in the panel, and stop the server before editing anything else in the file.
Server not responding
Make sure the server is online. Servers sleep after 4 days with nobody playing, and anyone with access can start them again from the dashboard in one click.
Use the server address
Do not use localhost, 127.0.0.1 or your own IP from a home hosting guide. Copy the exact address of the server.
No port forwarding or firewall changes
Opening ports on your router is only for hosting a server at home, so there is nothing to change to join this one. If Windows asks whether to let the game through the firewall, choose Allow.
Modding your Palworld server
Our Palworld servers run the official Linux server for the best stability, so they are vanilla today. Community tools like UE4SS and PalDefender need the Windows server build, which we do not offer yet.
Palworld server hosting, explained
A Palworld dedicated server is PalServer, a free program from Pocketpair installed through SteamCMD. In a normal co-op game the world only exists while the host is playing, and only a handful of friends can join. A dedicated server keeps Palpagos online around the clock, supports up to 32 players and keeps your base Pals working while everyone is offline.
Every world setting lives in PalWorldSettings.ini, which you normally create by copying DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini into the server config folder and editing by hand. That is where the server name and passwords, the player cap, XP and capture rates, day and night speed, death penalty and the crossplay platforms live. On our servers the common ones are settings in the panel, written into the file on every start. Since the 1.0 release, Steam, Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Mac players can share one server, with console players finding it through the community server list.
Pocketpair recommends 16 GB of memory for a dedicated server. Palworld can boot on less, but memory use grows as bases fill up with Pals and structures, and running out causes crashes and rollbacks. Fast SSD storage matters too, because slow disks can damage saves. Our plans start at 12 GB for small groups and go up to 24 GB for full servers, with backups a click away before every patch. The server also has a known memory leak that grows the longer it runs, so ours restarts itself with a two minute warning every few hours, or early when memory runs high.

Common questions
How many players can join?
Up to 32. Pocketpair recommends 16 GB, and big late game bases feel best on 24 GB.
Can I move my co-op world over?
Yes, with a little work. Stop the server, upload your world folder into Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/ and set DedicatedServerName in GameUserSettings.ini to that folder name. The host of the co-op game gets a new character on a server, and a community save tool can move the old one over. Take a backup first.
Does Palworld crossplay work on a dedicated server?
Yes. Since 1.0, Steam, Xbox, PS5 and Mac players can join the same server. Console players cannot enter an IP, so the server needs to be listed in the community server list for them.
Can I change capture rates and XP?
Yes. XP, capture rate, day and night speed, work speed, egg hatching time, Pals per base, death penalty, PvP and raids are settings in the panel. Anything else can be edited in PalWorldSettings.ini with the server stopped.
Why does my server restart by itself?
Palworld has a known memory leak: the longer the server runs, the more memory it holds until it lags or crashes. Ours saves and restarts with a two minute warning every 8 hours by default, or early at 90% memory. Change the interval or turn it off with Auto restart in the panel. Turning off raids also lowers memory use.
How do I use admin commands?
The panel console and buttons already run as admin. In game, type /AdminPassword followed by the admin password from your panel, then commands like /KickPlayer work in chat.
Why did my friends get a version mismatch error?
The server and every player must be on the same game version. After a patch, update the server with a restart and have everyone update through their store.
Can I password protect my server?
Yes. Set a server password so only people you share it with can join, and a separate admin password for commands.
Can my friends and I split the cost?
Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee.
Can I build a custom plan?
Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it.
Can I pay once instead of a subscription?
Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch.
How fast is setup, really?
Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
