Recommended minimum: 8GB of RAM and 4 high-clock vCPUs. ## Hardware requirements[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/host-palworld-server-brazil#requisitos) * **CPU**: at least 4 vCPUs. Ryzen for its high per-core clock * **RAM**: 8GB for small groups, 12GB or more for larger servers * **Disk**: 20GB of NVMe for the server plus the world saves * **OS**: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (recommended) or Debian 12 The Palworld server has resource spikes when several players capture Pals at the same time. Set up swap as an extra safety net. See the guide on [configuring swap](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/set-up-swap-ubuntu-vps). ## Install SteamCMD[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/host-palworld-server-brazil#instalar-steamcmd) 1. Add 32-bit support: `sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386` 2. Update: `sudo apt update` 3. Install: `sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 steamcmd -y` Create a separate user (for example, _palworld_) to run the server. For security reasons, never run SteamCMD as root. ## Download the Palworld server[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/host-palworld-server-brazil#instalar-palworld) 1. Open SteamCMD: `steamcmd` 2. Log in anonymously: `login anonymous` 3. Set the destination folder: `force_install_dir /home/palworld/server` 4. Download the server: `app_update 2394010 validate` 5. Exit: `quit` ## Configure PalWorldSettings.ini[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/host-palworld-server-brazil#configurar) After the first start, the configuration file is generated at **Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini**. The most important parameters: * ServerName: the server name shown in the list * ServerPassword: join password (leave empty for an open server) * AdminPassword: admin password for remote commands * ServerPlayerMaxNum: player limit (default 32) * WorldRegion: BR for a server in Brazil * DayTimeSpeedRate: day speed (1.0 = normal) * ExpRate: XP multiplier ## Ports and firewall[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/host-palworld-server-brazil#portas) Open the ports in the VPS [UFW firewall](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/ufw-firewall-ubuntu-vps): * `sudo ufw allow 8211/udp`: main game port * `sudo ufw allow 27015/udp`: Steam queries ## Start it and keep it online[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/host-palworld-server-brazil#iniciar-manter) To start the server manually: `./PalServer.sh -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -UseMultithreadForDS` To keep the server running permanently, set up a systemd service or use the guide on [PM2 and systemd](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/pm2-vs-systemd-nodejs) for persistent processes. To watch resource usage in real time, see the guide on [monitoring with htop and Netdata](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/monitor-vps-resources-htop-netdata).

For a group of 4 to 8 players, 8GB of RAM is enough. For 16 players or more, 12GB to 16GB gives you better stability. Palworld has memory spikes during simultaneous capture events. Does Palworld have an official dedicated server? Yes. PocketPair offers the Palworld Dedicated Server on Steam (app ID 2394010). The server is free to download and runs without the game being purchased on your account. Which port does Palworld use? Palworld uses port 8211 UDP for the game and 27015 UDP for Steam queries. Open both ports in the VPS firewall. How do I back up a Palworld world? The world saves live in \~/.steam/SteamApps/common/PalServer/Pal/Saved/SaveGames. Copy that folder to a safe location on a schedule, or set up an automatic backup script with cron. Next step See Ryzen VPS Ryzen 9 9950X VPS in São Paulo with root access, NVMe and gamer Anti-DDoS.
