How much does a Palworld server cost?

A Palworld server at MainHoster.de costs between €7.99 and €26.99 per month - depending on how many players you expect and how much RAM you need. Billing is prepaid from your credit, without a contract and without automatic renewal. The prices at a glance:

  • Plan S - €7.99 / month: 6 GB RAM, designed for ~6 players (budget entry for small groups of friends).
  • Plan M - €12.99 / month: 10 GB RAM, designed for ~10 players.
  • Plan L - €18.99 / month: 16 GB RAM, designed for ~20 players.
  • Plan XL - €26.99 / month: 24 GB RAM, designed for ~32 players (the full 32-player world).

Palworld is heavily limited by single-thread performance: for smooth gameplay, the per-core speed of the CPU matters more than the number of slots. That is why we deliberately use processors with high single-thread performance. Not sure which plan to choose? What does a Palworld server cost? recommends a plan for every group size.

In short

  • Starting at €7.99 / month
  • Unlimited slots - Palworld itself allows up to 32 players
  • Prepaid, no contract
  • Upgrade or downgrade any time
  • No automatic renewal

Crossplay: Palworld server for PC, Xbox and PS5

Palworld has been released on several platforms - and on our dedicated servers you play together across platforms (crossplay):

Steam (Windows PC)

The Steam version for Windows is the most widespread platform and the native basis for dedicated servers via SteamCMD.

Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One

Palworld runs on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One and in Xbox Game Pass, both on console and through the Microsoft Store version for Windows.

PlayStation 5

Palworld has also been available for PlayStation 5 since December 2024.

Microsoft Store / Game Pass

The Windows version from the Microsoft Store or Game Pass is a separate client alongside the Steam version.

Mac

Pocketpair currently does not offer a native macOS client. Mac users play Palworld through cloud gaming services or a Windows environment.

Playing together

On our dedicated Palworld servers, PC (Steam), Xbox and PlayStation 5 players play together - crossplay is supported.

Automatic restarts: keeping the Palworld memory leak in check

Pocketpair's dedicated Palworld server has a known memory leak: memory usage keeps rising while the server is running. After several hours of play this can lead to noticeable stutter, a dropping tick rate and, in extreme cases, server crashes - regardless of how many players are online.

The reliable countermeasure is scheduled, automatic restarts. A short restart frees up memory and keeps performance stable. In our web interface you set fixed restart times - for example every few hours or at night when nobody is playing. Your world and all settings are of course kept.

Why restarts help

  • Frees leaked RAM
  • Keeps the tick rate stable
  • Prevents crashes
  • Freely scheduled in the web interface
  • World & config are kept

Everything your Palworld server can do

World configuration

Adjust XP rates, Pal spawns, damage, hunger and many more values to your play style - comfortably in our web interface.

Mods & FTP upload

With full FTP access you upload mods, your own files and save games directly to the server - after a restart they are active.

Config editor

Edit PalWorldSettings.ini directly in the web interface - no download needed. All server parameters in one place, clear and safe.

Whitelist & password

Protect your server with a server password and use the admin and whitelist functions to control who can join and who gets admin rights.

Console & RCON

Manage your server via the console and an optional RCON interface: admin commands like /Broadcast, /KickPlayer or /Shutdown are always at hand.

Save game import

Move your existing singleplayer world to the server via FTP and keep playing with friends seamlessly - with help from our support if you like.

Automatic updates

As soon as Pocketpair releases a Palworld update, your server is updated automatically - you do not have to run SteamCMD yourself.

Strong single-thread performance

Palworld is limited by single-thread performance. Processors with high per-core speed and fast NVMe SSDs meet exactly that need and keep tick rates stable - even with busy bases and lots of Pals.

DDoS protection

Our DDoS protection filters attacks of up to 250 Gbit/⁠s - attacks on public Palworld servers are unfortunately not rare.

Made in Germany

Your Palworld server runs in a data center near Frankfurt - low latency for you and your friends in Germany and across Europe.

Scheduled restarts

Fixed restart times in the web interface regularly free up memory and keep your server running smoothly for good.

Provisioning

After you order, your Palworld server is set up in around 120 seconds - jump right in and explore the world together.

Frequently asked questions - Palworld

The entry plan (S) costs €7.99 per month. Plan M costs €12.99, plan L €18.99 and plan XL €26.99 for the full 32-player world. The plans differ in RAM and performance, not in a slot limit - slots are unlimited with us. All plans are prepaid, without a contract and without automatic renewal.

A dedicated Palworld server supports up to 32 players at the same time - a limit of the game, not of the plan. We neither charge for slots nor limit them. What matters is performance: plan S with 6 GB RAM is a budget option for small groups of friends; for bigger groups, plan M or larger is the right choice.

Pocketpair recommends at least 16 GB RAM for larger groups. Plan S with 6 GB is therefore deliberately designed as a budget option for small groups of up to 4 players. From around 8-10 players, plan M with 10 GB is the right level; plan L reaches Pocketpair's recommendation of 16 GB.
