Why GTX Gaming Is the UK's #1 Palworld Server Hosting Provider
Twelve years of dedicated game-server experience, hosting Palworld communities since launch, and the hardware, network and support stack to keep your base camp running smooth and your .sav file safe.
Choosing a Palworld server hosting provider is a long-term decision. Tickrate stability, DDoS resilience, UE4SS and PalDefender support, backup discipline and support response time can make or break a Palworld community. Here's what to look for, and how GTX Gaming delivers on every criterion:
| What to Look For | Why It Matters for Palworld | GTX Gaming |
|---|---|---|
| High-frequency CPU | The Palworld dedicated server is Unreal Engine and heavily single-threaded. Anything below 4GHz stutters when a 16-player crew triggers a Pal raid or large base simulation. | ✓ Intel Core i9-13900K (5.7GHz) and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X / 7950X3D |
| DDR5 ECC RAM | Worlds with deep base building, large Pal collections and UE4SS plugins quickly grow past 8GB. ECC prevents silent corruption on multi-month .sav files. | ✓ DDR5-5600 ECC on every plan, 10GB on Basic up to 16GB on Ultra |
| NVMe Gen5 storage | Palworld's open world streams chunks from disk. Slow storage causes terrain pop-in and rubber-banding around densely-built base camps. | ✓ NVMe Gen5 SSDs in RAID across all locations |
| Enterprise DDoS protection | Public Palworld servers attract trolls and DDoS attempts, especially after major Pocketpair patches. Residential-grade filtering fails instantly. | ✓ Multi-Tbps edge mitigation, included free |
| 1-click PalDefender / UE4SS | Manually deploying UE4SS, copying the dwmapi shim and patching PalDefender eats hours every update. | ✓ One click in the Mod Manager, with auto-update tasks |
| Full PC, Xbox and PS5 crossplay | Mixed friend groups on Steam, Microsoft Store, Xbox and PlayStation 5 have to share one world or the community splits. | ✓ Latest crossplay dedicated server build deployed on first boot |
| Free world migration | If your existing world lives on a friend's PC or another host, you should never have to start over. | ✓ Drag .sav files into the File Manager, plus a free admin migration if you get stuck |
| Scheduled offsite backups | One corrupted .sav save can lose a community's entire base build, Pal collection and progression. | ✓ Auto-clone to offsite storage on every restart, plus on-demand backups |
| UK + global locations | Latency under 60ms matters for combat dodges, Pal commands and Tower Boss DPS windows. | ✓ London + 10 global datacentres, with the live ping test above |
| Real Palworld admins on support | Generic L1 support doesn't know what UE4SS, PalDefender or a PalWorldSettings.ini key does. You'll wait hours for a fix. | ✓ 24/7 Palworld-trained UK support, 1-15 min ticket response |
| Money-back guarantee | You shouldn't need a long-term contract to test if a host can keep a 32-player base camp stable. | ✓ 24-hour full refund, no setup fees, no contracts |
| Long-term reputation | New hosts disappear. The hosts that survive a decade have the engineering, the network and the cashflow to stay. | ✓ Hosting game servers since 2014, 4.7 / 5 from 1,400+ Trustpilot reviews |

Palworld Server Hosting Reviews on Trustpilot
Couldn't be happier with their service.
I have used GTX Gaming for approaching 9 months now and I have been very happy with their service. The system is clearly documented and makes it easy to maintain my server through self-administered tools. In the one instance i have reached out for support it was available on-line from a real person in minutes.
Couldn't be happier with their service.
I had an excellent experience and…
I had an excellent experience and received amazing help from the team. A special thanks to Steven Wood and Taylor for their outstanding service and professional support. They really went above and beyond to help me out. I highly appreciate it and would definitely recommend them!
Outstanding Support Moving My Palworld Server: Jamie Redpath Was Incredible
I recently migrated my Palworld server from another host to GTXGaming, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic all thanks to Jamie Redpath.
Jamie was incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process. Not only did he assist with the migration itself, but he also answered every single question I had (even the ones that were a bit outside the typical scope) with clear, simple explanations that made everything so much easier.
It's rare to find support that genuinely goes above and beyond, but Jamie absolutely delivered. Thanks to him, what could have been a frustrating transition turned into a smooth, stress-free setup. I'm now running my server confidently and efficiently thanks to his guidance.
If you're considering switching hosts or setting up your own server, I highly recommend GTXGaming, and if you get the chance to work with Jamie, you're in excellent hands.
Palworld Server Hosting FAQ — UK
Instantly! Your Palworld server is activated immediately after payment. You'll receive your control panel login, server password and IP within seconds and can be in-game taming your first Pal in under 2 minutes.
Yes, all of them. UE4SS (Unreal Engine 4 Scripting System) is preconfigured on first boot as the core script loader for Palworld plugins. PalDefender, the popular anti-cheat and admin-tools mod, installs from the Mod Manager with one click and adds RCON commands, teleport, anti-grief and Discord webhooks. CurseForge mods drop straight into the Pal mods folder via the File Manager or SFTP. The Auto Mod Updater task keeps UE4SS, PalDefender and your CurseForge plugins in sync with each Pocketpair patch so updates like Feybreak and Sakurajima do not break your server overnight.
Yes, full PC, Xbox and PS5 crossplay is supported out of the box. Every GTX Gaming Palworld server runs the latest crossplay dedicated server build, so Steam, Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation 5 players all join the same world from the in-game join screen. No manual configuration is needed on your side, just share the server IP and password with your group.
Yes, GTX Gaming Palworld hosting fully supports modded gameplay. With UE4SS, PalDefender and CurseForge you can run quality-of-life packs, base-defence enhancements, custom Pal spawn rates, raid frequency tweaks, expanded Pal Sphere recipes, server-wide events, Discord integrations and admin tooling. Larger mod packs benefit from our Recommended (12GB) or Ultra (16GB) plans for headroom.
Palworld is RAM-hungry because of base persistence, Pal AI simulation and Unreal Engine asset streaming. As a rule of thumb: 2 to 10 players on a vanilla world fits comfortably in 10GB (Basic); up to 16 players with PalDefender and a moderate mod load wants 12GB (Recommended, our most popular); 32 players with CurseForge packs, custom Pal spawn density and large base saves wants 16GB plus High CPU priority (Ultra). Use the Custom build to dial in exact slots, RAM and CPU priority. Heavy mod packs add 1 to 3GB on top, so bump up one tier if you're running 20 or more UE4SS plugins.
We offer a 24-hour money-back guarantee on Palworld server hosting. If your server isn't right for you within the first 24 hours of order, contact us for a full refund, no questions asked.
Yes, every Palworld server includes enterprise-grade DDoS protection at no extra cost. Our datacentres mitigate multi-Tbps attacks at the edge so the malicious traffic never reaches your server. Public Palworld communities attract trolls and DDoS attempts, especially after big updates; with GTX you stay online.
Yes. Whether your Palworld world is currently hosted locally on your PC or with another provider, the .sav save files in Pal/Saved/SaveGames (and the UE4SS or Mods folder if you're using mods) can be uploaded directly via our SFTP or File Manager. If you'd like us to handle the migration, open a support ticket and our team will move the world for you, free of charge.
Palworld is sold by player slots on GTX. Each plan ships with a fixed slot count (Basic 10, Recommended 16, Ultra 32, or pick any amount on the Custom plan up to Palworld's 32-player ceiling), and you can top your existing plan up at any time by purchasing additional slots from the client area. The step-by-step guide for upgrading or downgrading slots is here: How to upgrade or downgrade your server player SLOTS package. Open a support ticket if you'd like us to apply the new slot count and pro-rate the billing for you.
You can technically host a Palworld server on your own PC, but it has serious downsides: your server only stays online while your PC is on (so friends in different time zones lose access); you'll need port forwarding (a security risk); residential broadband has zero DDoS protection; and your in-game frame rate suffers because the Palworld client and the Palworld server compete for the same CPU cores. Renting a dedicated Palworld server from GTX gives you 24/7 uptime, enterprise DDoS protection, dedicated 5.7GHz CPU cores, UE4SS and PalDefender preconfigured, and scheduled offsite backups, for less than a coffee per week.
GTX Gaming has been hosting Palworld servers since 2024 and is rated 4.7 / 5 from 1,400+ verified Trustpilot reviews. Our UK Palworld server hosting runs on Intel Core i9-13900K (5.7GHz) and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X / 7950X3D CPUs, DDR5-5600 ECC RAM and NVMe Gen5 SSDs in our London datacentre, with one-click PalDefender, UE4SS preconfigured, full PC, Xbox and PS5 crossplay, 120 FPS tickrate, scheduled offsite backups, world upload and migration, enterprise DDoS protection and 24/7 support. The Recommended 12GB plan at £21.93/mo is our most popular UK Palworld hosting tier.
Our primary UK Palworld servers are hosted in a London datacentre, which typically delivers under 20ms ping for players in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and across Britain, Ireland and Western Europe. If your group is spread further afield, GTX Gaming also runs 10 other worldwide locations including France, Germany, Poland, the USA, Canada, India, Singapore and Australia. Use the live ping test above to measure your latency to each location, then deploy your Palworld server in the lowest-ping datacentre with one click.
GTX Gaming is not the cheapest Palworld server hosting on the market, but it is one of the best value premium hosts. The Basic 10GB plan starts at £9.99/mo, and the Custom Build also starts from £9.99/mo for smaller setups. Cheaper Palworld hosts (£3-7/mo) typically use shared CPU cores, oversubscribed RAM and have no DDoS protection, which leads to stutter around big bases and outages on patch day. GTX uses dedicated 5.7GHz CPU cores, DDR5 ECC RAM, NVMe Gen5 storage and edge DDoS protection on every Palworld server, with no setup fees, no contracts and a 24-hour money-back guarantee.
Free Palworld server hosting does not exist as a sustainable product. Running a Palworld server requires dedicated 5.7GHz CPU cores, 10 to 16GB of DDR5 RAM, NVMe storage and DDoS-protected bandwidth, all of which cost real money. Anyone offering free Palworld hosting is either limiting it to a tiny number of slots, displaying ads, harvesting data, or shutting down within weeks. The closest legitimate option is our 24-hour money-back guarantee, which lets you try paid Palworld server hosting risk-free, or our Basic plan from £9.99/mo, which is the most affordable serious Palworld hosting in the UK.
Palworld server hosting is a managed service: GTX installs the Palworld dedicated server software, gives you a one-click control panel for UE4SS, PalDefender, world uploads, scheduled backups and crossplay, and takes care of operating system updates, security patches and DDoS mitigation. A Palworld VPS gives you a bare Linux or Windows machine with no Palworld software installed, no control panel and no support; you have to install the Palworld dedicated server, configure the firewall, deploy UE4SS and PalDefender manually, set up scheduled backups via cron, and patch the OS yourself. Most Palworld communities want managed Palworld server hosting because it is dramatically faster to set up, easier to maintain and includes proper DDoS protection out of the box.
Yes, every GTX Gaming Palworld server hosting plan is billed monthly with no minimum contract and no setup fees. You can upgrade to a larger tier, downgrade to a smaller one, or cancel at any time directly from your client area. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual billing cycles are also available with optional discounts if you prefer to pay less frequently.
