Get a Palworld server

Sydney hardware, online in minutes, and these guides are a click away from the panel.

Every Palworld server here is a dedicated server, so the world stays up when nobody is playing and friends can drop in at different times. The panel's World Settings tab turns PalWorldSettings.ini into labelled controls, and the Console sends admin commands without joining the game. After a Palworld 1.0 patch, take a backup and restart: the server installs the new build before the world loads.
