Why choose Nexus Games for your Palworld server?
Palworld 1.0 ready
The server is configured for Palworld 1.0, World Tree and Sunreach included, and supports full crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Human support, 7 days a week
A team that actually knows Palworld, reachable on Discord and from NexusPanel, seven days a week.
Performance and a modern panel
Palworld's Unreal engine is highly frequency-sensitive: the Ryzen 9 7950X3D's 5.7 GHz avoids performance drops with up to 32 players. And NexusPanel keeps console, WebFTP and backups in one place.
Choosing a Palworld host: the criteria that matter
The same questions come up before every rental. Here is what to check with any Palworld host — and how we answer.
| Criterion | What to check | At Nexus Games |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Single-core clock speed, not core count: a game server saturates one thread long before it uses sixteen. | Ryzen 9 7950X3D · 16 Cores/32 Threads |
| RAM | DDR5 ECC corrects memory errors — which matters on a world that runs for months without a restart. | DDR5 ECC · 128–192 GB |
| Storage | NVMe decides how long a world takes to load and a backup to complete. | SSD NVMe |
| Slots | Size for your peak concurrent players, never for the average. | 8 – 32 players |
| Mods & plugins | That the game's ecosystem installs from the panel, not only over FTP. | mods, configs · one-click install |
| Anti-DDoS | Included or billed as an add-on: the difference shows on the invoice, not on the homepage. | Included |
| Backup | Being able to restore yourself, without opening a ticket or waiting. | Optional · restore from NexusPanel |
| Location | Latency follows distance: a server close to your players beats a powerful one far away. | Europe · US (EAST) |
| Support | Real hours and a direct channel, rather than a contact form. | Seven days a week · Discord and NexusPanel |
| Starting price | The price of the entry tier, and what it already includes. | $12.49/mo |

Palworld hosting: everything you need to know
Palworld took off by blending monster-collector-style creature capture, survival and automation in an open world. On a dedicated server it hosts up to 32 players, but its Unreal engine is highly sensitive to CPU frequency: performance drops arrive quickly on busy servers or heavily developed bases.
Nexus Games hosts your Palworld server on the Ryzen 9 7950X3D at 5.7 GHz, which avoids performance drops with up to 32 players. You adjust spawn rates, difficulty and raid settings from NexusPanel, apply updates in one click and secure your world with one-click backups (Backup add-on). Instant delivery and Anti-DDoS included for your team.
What you can do with your Palworld server
How much RAM does a Palworld server need?
Palworld uses more than most survival games, and memory grows with what your players capture and build. Size it properly from the start.
- RAM follows the Pals, not the players
- Every captured Pal, every base and every structure stays in memory even when nobody is connected. A server with four very active players uses more than one with eight casual ones.
- What to budget
- Size up rather than tight: consumption grows across a season, and a saturated server means rollbacks and lost progression. Changing plan is pro rata, at any time.
- Backups are essential
- Palworld is still in early access, and its updates can alter existing worlds. Take a backup from the panel before every update: it is the habit that saves a whole season.
- Tuning capture and experience
- The capture, experience and damage multipliers are changed from the panel. Community servers often raise capture slightly to shorten the collecting phase without draining the game of interest.
Frequently asked questions · Palworld server
Up to 32 on a dedicated world. Larger, older or busier worlds want more RAM, which is why Palworld is billed by memory rather than a fixed slot count.
Yes. Palworld supports Steam, Xbox and Game Pass crossplay since recent updates; it is enabled in the server configuration.
Everything is set in PalWorldSettings.ini via NexusPanel: difficulty, XP, capture, drop rates and day/night speed.
The dedicated server's memory use climbs during long uptimes, so a scheduled restart every few hours (built into NexusPanel's scheduled tasks) clears it before it can cause problems.
This is a known behaviour of the Palworld dedicated server: its memory use grows steadily while it runs, and once it climbs high enough the tick rate drops, movement rubber-bands and Pals start behaving oddly. It is not your connection or your hardware, a restart clears it immediately. The fix is to schedule an automatic restart every 6 to 12 hours with NexusPanel's scheduled tasks, so the server resets itself overnight and your players never meet the slowdown. Keep the restart outside your community's peak hours and announce it in advance.
Plan for 8 to 16 GB for a small group or a young world, and 24 GB or more for an active 32-player world that has been running for a while. The important thing to understand is that load comes far more from the number of bases, structures and active Pals working in them than from how many players are connected, a world with four players and a dozen sprawling automated bases can be heavier than a busy one that is barely built. Watch your memory use as your save grows and move up a plan when it starts running close to the ceiling. Our DDR5 ECC plans scale accordingly, and the RAM you order is dedicated to your server.
Your local world lives in the Palworld saved-games folder on your PC, in a folder named after the world ID. Stop your Nexus Games server, then upload that save folder into the server's save directory via WebFTP, keeping the same structure, and point the server's save name at it before starting up again. Take a backup of both the local save and the server's existing world first, the transfer overwrites what is there. Note that player characters are tied to the save's own IDs, so expect some players to have to re-create their character after the move.
Unreal is single-thread, so clock speed rules: our Ryzen 9 7950X3D at 5.7 GHz avoids group slowdowns, while Gen4 NVMe keeps saves safe, slow storage can corrupt Palworld save data.
Palworld is a paid game.
Nexus Games is rated one of the best Palworld hosts thanks to AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processors, DDR5 ECC memory and Gen4 NVMe storage, with Anti-DDoS included, scheduled tasks, optional backups and support 7 days a week.
At Nexus Games a Palworld server starts at $12.49/month and is billed by the RAM you allocate, up to $36.99/month for the largest plan, with CPU and bandwidth included and Anti-DDoS standard. All our servers run on the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
Your Palworld server is hosted in US East, on our Ryzen 9 7950X3D infrastructure with a 1 Gbit/s network and permanent Anti-DDoS protection. That proximity keeps latency low and stable for your players.
Yes, and it is straightforward: download the files from your current server (world, configs, mods) and upload them through NexusPanel's WebFTP. You keep your progress, your settings and your add-ons — nothing to reconfigure, nothing to reinstall.
With the Backup add-on, you create your backups yourself from NexusPanel, with the server stopped, and restore them in one click. Good habit: make one before an update or a mod installation.
