Complete Guide to Hosting Your Own PalWorld Server

Server Recommendations

Tencent Cloud Palworld dedicated server offer: https://curl.qcloud.com/uLCNpnXB

Server Configuration

I recommend starting with at least 4 cores and 8G of RAM

Use windows server for an easier setup

2 cores will also work for a small number of players

I recommend 8G of RAM. 4G is playable, but it may lag after a few hours with more players

Increase virtual memory to match physical RAM at a 1:1 ratio. This may still cause lag, but it reduces the risk of crashes

Set the value to 32768

The change is now complete; close each dialog in turn. Virtual memory changes on windows server generally take effect without a restart.

When connecting remotely, map your local folders to make file transfers easier later

Download SteamCMD and PalServer

SteamCMD download link:

Initially, the folder contains only the exe file

2.Run the exe to install steamcmd automatically
