What Is Palworld?
Palworld has gained rapid popularity in the gaming world since its launch in January 2024. In this open-world RPG game, players collect creatures called “Pals”. With them they can build and defend their home base in the Palpagos Islands. Palworld is popular for its range of characters and the challenge of building in an expansive world. Many choose to buy the game on Steam and play on a dedicated game server, because it allows more players in one game versus playing directly on the Palworld server or other game systems. Hosting a palworld server is also a great business decision, as many people are looking to pay to play the game with others.
Why Host Palworld on a Dedicated Server
To play this game on Steam, users must connect to a dedicated server. If you are considering hosting your own Palworld server, take a look at the upsides. A Palword server allows up to 32 players to play at one time – compared to 4 in online co-op mode. The creators of the game, Pocket Pair, promise to add more capacity in the future.
Your Palworld steam server can run on any type of machine that can be online, but the benefits to hosting on a dedicated server in a data center are many. First of all, a data center hosted server has guaranteed uptime – meaning the internet or power won’t go out. Your server will be available 24/7 to your gaming community. Our data centers have redundant backup for any equipment that requires 100% uptime, such as the power, cooling, and generators.
Second, any hardware inside the server that fails gets instant attention from a data center technician who is an expert in solving server related problems.
Less Investment, More Gaming
Hosting a Palworld server for other players is essentially running a hosting business. If you have experience running a dedicated server, you’re already off to a great start. You might already know the costs that go along with this type of business. When you purchase a dedicated server, we have already created all of the necessary investment and infrastructure for you to be successful.
Since there is a mad rush for Palworld hosting at the moment, it is important that the server you buy is available instantly. Whatever you see in stock at ReliableSite is available and if you need any upgrades, our technicians are onsite to help you with that. Our team works around the clock to test servers and build more configurations. Should you choose to change your game or use your server for something more resource intensive, you can upgrade at any time. If you’re looking for a recently released CPU, we do the hard work of sourcing it for you.
Part of the investment we make, that you take advantage of, is our network. You won’t have to worry about overdoing the bandwidth or slow wi-fi at home. Likewise, standard security features (such as DDoS attack protection) can give you added peace of mind with your purchase.
Lastly, an important bonus is that if you have players accessing your dedicated game server from different locations, you can optimize your latency by hosting in a location that’s closest to your players. For example, we have data centers in Los Angeles, California, Miami, Florida, and the New York City metro area. These locations have excellent latency all over the United States, but you will also connect better to Asia, South America, and Europe.
Playing on Steam
To get your Palworld Steam server ready for players, you need to use SteamCMD. This is where you will download the game and make any changes or updates. Once all the code is installed, it’s important that you maintain your server as well. Check the hardware to see if it’s keeping up with the number of players. Is your CPU and memory overloaded and causing lag? Have you checked for patches and updates from the game developer? These are things you can do directly with SteamCMD to keep your Palword server running smoothly.
