Best Palworld Server Hosting Platforms

Hostinger is a top name in web hosting, but it also specialises in putting together great Palworld servers. These plans come with weekly backups, complete control of the world, mod support for extra customisation, and various locations to choose from.

Hostinger’s control panel makes setting up your server near-instant. You don’t need to know any Linux commands; it’ll just take a few button presses. It also includes CubeCoders, allowing you to automate common tasks and tweak the server however you wish.

These plans start at £6-17 a month with discounts. Hostinger’s lowest-tier option gives a server 8 gigabytes of RAM, perfect for small groups. However, to reach the maximum 32 players, you’ll need the Game Panel 8 plan, which offers 32 gigs. Anything less could give you serious lag.

Pros:

• 400 gigabytes of server add-on storage
• Full mod support and server customisation
• Easy setup with Hostinger’s control panel

Cons:

• Prices more than double when renewing
• Only three Palworld plans available

1GServerHost specialises almost exclusively in Palworld and boasts unlimited memory on every plan. Rather than choosing the amount of RAM you need, you’ll instead buy packages based on player count. For 32 players, you’ll pay £32 a month.

Notably, this is entirely on a month-to-month basis. You can’t buy two years of server space at a lower overall price. 1G also includes automatic backups and restarts to keep everything running smoothly. On top of this, 1G’s TCAdmin control panel lets you easily manage a server’s files and seamlessly add mods.

This is a lot of flexibility for one server, which might be overwhelming. Once you get to grips with this, however, you’ll have a great space for your community. That being said, you’ll only have 24 hours to request a refund.

Pros:

• Seamless installations and setups
• Can switch servers to other games as necessary
• Daily restarts to ensure smooth performance

Cons:

• Only 24 hours to request a refund
• No long-term package discounts

GameTeam.io charges per gigabyte of RAM, with options including Budget and Premium plans. Both offer unlimited player slots, at least on paper — Palworld maxes out at 32 players, and the server’s RAM massively affects its player count.

GameTeam.io only offers 25 gigabytes of storage on its Budget plans. The Premium options will give you unlimited storage from the get-go. The difference per GB isn’t much, so Premium might be worth the extra investment. Both plans also go up to 64 GB, though you likely won’t need this much to handle 32 players.

However, if you’re running your server in the UK, you’ll have to set it up in Germany. It shouldn’t harm your server speed much, if at all, but it’s worth bearing in mind. 

Pros:

• Can choose exact amount of RAM
• Premium plan has unlimited storage
• All plans have unlimited players

Cons:

• Closest server to the UK is Germany
• Only Premium servers have automatic backups

With Shockbyte, you’ll have a choice between 12 or 32 players, with nothing in between. This simplifies your options, but also limits your flexibility. If you want 16 players, for example, you will simply have to pay the full £15 a month, or go out of your way to ask for a custom plan.

However, £15 for 32 players is still an incredibly good deal — and the server itself holds up well even when it’s full. This makes Shockbyte a strong budget option. It even includes automatic restarts and backups, as well as instant modpack installations.

Adding to its budget offering, £15 is just for a month-to-month payment. Annually, you could get a 32-player server for £11.29. You could also pay extra for a faster CPU, more RAM, and better backups, though this might fly in the face of their status as a budget provider.

Pros:

• Cheap plans, even for 32 players
• Plenty of extra speed/RAM addons
• Unlimited bandwidth and disk space

Cons:

• Other users report slow customer support
• Server addons could add up quite quickly

Host Havoc provides servers for dozens of games — but its Palworld options are still particularly strong. For just £33 a month, you’ll get a server with unlimited storage and space for 32 players. Notably, this provider lets users choose how many players they want.

Most platforms, when they do give their packages in player counts, only have a few set options. If you expect to have, for example, 20 players at most, you might have to default to 32 GB. With Host Havoc, you can just choose how many you want. This comes in increments of two, but it’s still more control than with other providers.

However, there are only a few European server locations — which can (and sometimes do) sell out. In addition, you have just three days to request a refund if you’re not satisfied with the service.

Pros:

• Can choose the number of players
• Unlimited server storage
• Servers also work for Xbox players

Cons:

• Relatively few server locations
• Only 72 hours to request a refund

ScalaCube is relatively niche but has a good reputation among Palworld players. It offers all the usual comforts at a good price. However, not much sets it apart. It’s a jack of all trades, but is that enough?

One advantage that ScalaCube has over most providers is more options when choosing how much RAM you’ll need. This starts at 6 GB and goes up to 32 GB, with eight other plans in between. There are also five European servers (one in the UK), while many providers only offer four.

All buyers get a free IP address, but you might want to go for the Dedicated no-port option, even if this adds an extra price tag. This gives you more customisation over your network settings, so you can keep your server safer.

Pros:

• Flexibility when choosing the RAM amount
• Five European server location choices
• Can set a custom port with the right add-on

Cons:

• Not much else sets it apart
• Some RAM options missing

GGServers offers four plans, ranging from 8 GB to 32 GB of RAM. The latter (the “Jetragon” tier, named after a legendary Pal) is around £72 a month, more than some options on this list. You’ll get unlimited storage on each plan, though; it’s up to you if this is worth it.

The site claims an 8 GB server can host up to 32 people. This is technically correct, but it won’t be a particularly stable server — you’ll need 12-16 GB for a thriving community. You can also move files between servers using the platform’s SFTP Importer.

You can change the server’s difficulty, authentication requirements, how long nighttime lasts, the server’s overall experience rate, and even players’ damage and stamina. As for Pals, you could edit their catch rate, damage, spawn rate, hunger, and more.

Pros:

• Full control over the server and its settings
• SFTP Importer makes transferring files easy
• No server storage limits

Cons:

• Prices are a little higher than average
• Only one overall Europe server

Nitrado is quite a popular option for gamers, even if other top choices crowd it out. However, few of these providers (if any) offer full server customisation. With Nitrado, you can pick exactly how many players you’ll have — and even how long you want to host it for.

For example, a 3-day server for 32 players costs around £7, but £27 if it’s up for a whole month. Adding to this flexibility, every plan lets you pick between PC and Xbox and offers free backups. Though it only has two European server locations, either should serve you just fine.

However, Nitrado servers don’t have official mod support. You can try and jury-rig it into working, but there’s no simple installation available. In addition, Nitrado’s minimum player count is ten — so you could be paying for slots you won’t use.

Pros:

• Can set how long the server lasts
• Can specify number of players
• Prepaid and subscription options

Cons:

• Only two European servers
• No official mod support

Game Host Bros’ Palworld servers support the recent crossplay update; they work on PC, Xbox, and Mac servers just as well. This is available for as little as £7.50 a month, but extra RAM and disk space can quickly ramp this up to around £34 monthly.

Unlike most other services, you can even add more CPU threads. This could add up to another £45 to your price tag, but it’ll make your server faster. However, performance is more than good enough with the base four threads, so don’t rush into buying any add-ons.

This provider doesn’t charge you by the player, just the amount of RAM. They also give you an intuitive control panel that lets you grant admin privileges to friends and use console commands to change the game.

Pros:

• Can add CPU threads to your plan
• Easy-to-use control panel
• No pre-determined player limits

Cons:

• Add-ons massively raise the price
• Only two European server options

GPORTAL is another provider that lets you choose the number of slots and days, quite similar to Nitrado. The longer your server is up for, the bigger your discount. Three days is the minimum runtime available, but this might be all you need in some situations.

GPORTAL lets you buy slots for up to 1,000 players. However, you can only have 32 players per server. Don’t be fooled by the site’s slider — you could end up paying for nothing. This may just be because the site uses the same slider for dozens of games, but it’s still a big problem. 

That being said, the server still runs as you expect. Just make sure you pick the right number of players; you can always change this before renewing.

Pros:

• Flexible day/player configuration
• 50 gigabytes of dedicated backup space
• Easy to set up within three minutes

Cons:

• Can pay for more players than Palworld allows
• Limited server location options
