How to set up a dedicated Palworld server

In Palworld you can play as host from your own game or use a dedicated server. This guide explains why many people prefer the second option and what to decide when creating one.

In short

  • On a dedicated server the world is always on, so nobody has to leave a computer switched on.
  • Size your slots for the hour when most people overlap, not for the total number of players.
  • Check the RAM and disk each server includes, and take a backup before changing important settings.

Host or dedicated server

If you are the host, the world only exists while you have the game open. On a dedicated server the world is always on: your Pals keep working at the base and your friends join whenever they want, with nobody leaving a computer switched on.

How many slots you need

A slot is one player connected at the same time. A few are enough for a game with friends; an open community needs more. Think about the hour when most people overlap, not the total number of people who play.

Memory matters

Palworld is demanding on memory, and the world grows with bases and Pals. Check how much RAM and disk each server includes, and that they do not change with the number of slots.

8 GBRAM
20 GBSSD
4–32Players

Included in every Palworld server on LIZARION, whatever number of slots you pick.

Settings from the panel

From the web panel you can start and stop the server, watch the console, adjust settings and manage files from the browser, without editing files by hand.

Backups

Take backups of the world before changing important settings or updating, so you can roll back if something breaks.

Share the IP and join

Once the server is created, send the address to your friends. They only need the game and that address: no port forwarding or router setup on their side.
