High single-core performance
Smooth play on a busy server
The clock speed of Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX keeps servers smooth up to 32 players. We prefer to give you faster cores rather than more slow ones at the same price.

From a group of friends to 32 players: Istanbul-located servers sized for what the world actually needs.
A Palworld server grows with the number of objects in the world more than with player count. Pocketpair's own documentation states 16 GB of memory for a dedicated server, recommends more than 32 GB, and notes that 8 GB "increases the possibility of server crashes due to out of memory". As bases go up and Pals accumulate, consumption climbs further. On a long-lived server both the save file and memory use grow noticeably against week one, so size for a few months out.
On the server side clock speed decides. Pocketpair publishes no core count requirement, only a memory figure. In our own operation stutter on a 32-player server is smaller on high frequency processors. That is why we recommend the Ryzen Threadripper PRO based Premium line.
Third is saving and backups. Palworld writes the world to disk at intervals, and given the save-corruption reports from its early access period, regular backups are a requirement rather than a nice habit. On NVMe SSD a backup takes seconds and players never notice.

Memory options from 16 GB to 32 GB and enterprise NVMe SSD storage. As the save grows so do memory and disk needs; upgrade from the customer panel with a short restart.
Protection is spread across several layers rather than one appliance: volumetric traffic is absorbed upstream on the 10 Tbps capacity built with Aurologic and GibirNet, and what is left is filtered inside our own network by MikroTik devices, XDP-based packet filtering and rule sets we develop in house. Included with every plan; we do not null-route your IP or charge extra during an attack.
Connect as root or administrator. Edit PalWorldSettings.ini freely, set your own experience and gathering multipliers, install whatever you need. Linux or Windows Server is your choice.
The table assumes a standard setup. For long-lived, densely built worlds, pick one tier higher.

Not sure which plan to pick? Enter your game and expected concurrent player count in the Plan Finder and it points at the matching plan. Open the Plan FinderBecause higher frequency makes a difference in our own measurements, we recommend the Premium line. Small friend groups play fine on the Economic line.
