About Palworld Server Hosting
Palworld combines open-world survival crafting with creature-collecting combat, and its 1.0 release brings the game out of Early Access with a build meant for long-term dedicated servers rather than short test sessions. That shift matters for hosting: a persistent, always-on Palworld world needs hardware that stays consistent hour after hour, not just during a quick playtest.
Palworld's dedicated server leans hard on single-thread CPU performance. Every Pal you tame, every automated base structure, and every physics interaction runs largely on one core, so a server with weak per-core speed bottlenecks long before RAM or bandwidth do. Expanse Host runs every Palworld node on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X hardware specifically because of that single-thread ceiling, paired with NVMe SSD storage so chunk streaming and your save file, which only gets larger as your base grows, never introduce load stutter.
RAM needs scale with base complexity as much as player count — a small group running a sprawling automated Pal farm can need as much headroom as a larger group with modest bases. Our 4GB plan comfortably handles up to 4 players with a modest base; groups running heavier automated setups or 16 or more Pals per base should plan for 12GB or 16GB. Palworld also supports full crossplay between Steam and Xbox/Game Pass, and Expanse servers work with both without extra configuration. You get direct access to PalWorldSettings.ini and server admin commands through the control panel, so difficulty, Pal drop rates, and building rules are yours to tune.
Every Palworld plan includes instant setup in under 60 seconds, daily automated backups, and enterprise DDoS protection via G-Core rated to absorb 200+ Tbps attacks. Choose from server locations in New York, Frankfurt, Singapore, or Malaysia to keep ping low no matter where your group plays from. Mod support through Steam Workshop is available directly from your panel, and if your group ever wants a change of scenery, our game switch feature covers 100+ other titles on the same server with no new purchase required. Plans start at $8/mo for 4GB RAM.

Mod Your Palworld Server
Palworld supports mods through Steam Workshop, and Expanse Host builds mod management directly into your control panel, no SSH or manual file editing required.
Install by Workshop ID
Paste a Steam Workshop ID or URL and Expanse pulls the mod straight to your server via SteamCMD. No manual file uploads.
Enable & disable anytime
Toggle individual mods on or off from the control panel without deleting them, so you can test changes or roll back without losing your setup.
Stays in sync
Installed mods sync to connecting players automatically, so your whole group is always running the same mod list.
We also support CurseForge for eligible titles, with Nexus Mods integration coming soon.
