Prices for monthly payment, final prices (no VAT under § 19 UStG), no setup fee. Up to 15 % less when you pay in advance – the prices per term are on the product page. The player counts are guide values derived from memory and cores – nothing is capped. In every plan: a player count you set yourself, console, file manager and SFTP, the community list and all world settings.
When the group grows
- Extend your server
- Add memory, cores or storage one by one – permanently and without changing plans.
- Boost
- More memory and CPU power for exactly the time you need it. At the weekend, for example, when everyone is online at once.
- Change plans
- Up at any time and at once, the difference is charged pro rata. Down at the end of the term.
- Pause your server
- The group is taking a break? While your server is paused you only pay for keeping your data – and you resume whenever you like.
Your world, your rules
How fast experience comes, how long the night lasts, what stays behind when you die: set the pegs the way your group wants to play. Next to them is what you enter in the settings file.
A sketch: this is how day and night shift against the game’s default. It does not show the length in minutes.

- Stop the server and open the file in the panel’s file manager.
- All settings are in one long line after
OptionSettings=(. Find the key and replace the value behind it. Keep the line in one piece. - Save, start the server – your rules apply from now on.
- Name, password, player count
- Server name, description, both passwords and the player count you have set in the panel are written into the file by your server on every start. Change them in the file and they are overwritten again after the next start – set them in the panel.
- Everything else stays
- Whatever else you set in the file is left alone by your server – on every start, and even when you reinstall it in the panel.
- More rules
- The board shows five of them. The file holds every world setting Palworld ships for servers of your own.
- Back up first
- Save the current state with one click before you change the rules.
Nexthosting Schutz
Players stay connected. Flooders get locked out.
Every game server at Nexthosting is protected against DDoS attacks at no extra cost. With a dedicated IP address, your server gets a filter all to itself – and you get the panel where you watch every attack bounce off.
All quiet. Blue means your players. They walk through the gate – that is your server's port.
Example, no real data

packets per second
Moving example from the protection panel: small squares run towards a wall. Blue squares – the players – pass through the gate to the server, during an attack too. Sand-coloured squares – the attack – get stuck at the wall.
Sand stays outside
Senders that open connections in bulk are locked out automatically while an attack is running. You lift any lock with one click.
Blue keeps playing
Existing connections are never cut. Regulars – anyone who has spent a while on your server – get in straight away, even in the middle of an attack.
Your situation room
You see where it comes from
The map shows the traffic to your server, country by country. Block a country with one click – or allow only the ones you choose. If you like, the protection blocks attacking countries by itself while an attack is running.
Every attack is put on record
Course, waves and senders, minute by minute – as a PDF and as a table. One click reports the attack to Nexthosting: an urgent notice at once, followed by a full report as a PDF. On request with a confirmation you can hand to the police or other authorities.
You decide how strict
Three protection levels – and if you like, the protection tightens by itself when an attack starts. You are told by e-mail and Discord as soon as an attack begins and when it is over. Plus: a test of the protection at the push of a button, co-managers for your community's admins, and traffic per port.
What the protection costs
- With every game server
- The data centre's basic protection against DDoS attacks. At no extra cost.
- With a dedicated IP address
- A filter for your address alone, and the protection panel with it – for €3.79 a month plus a one-time setup fee of €4.99, with no further charge. Usually set up within a few minutes; you can also add it later.
Order a Palworld serverCompare plans
You pick the dedicated IP address as an add-on while ordering. Server location: a data centre in Germany.
Your camp in the panel
You open the panel straight from your customer account. There you decide what your server is called and who may join – and do in the browser what would otherwise need a command line.
Startup settings
You set these in the panel and change them whenever you like. Shown here as an example with your choices from above.

In the panel for Palworld
- Console
- Your server’s output runs live in the browser. You type commands straight into it – for example
Info,ShowPlayersorSave. - Stopping without loss
- When you press Stop in the panel, your server saves the world first and then shuts down.
- Updates
- On every start your server checks whether there is a new Palworld and fetches it. So after a game update a restart is all it takes.
- Schedules
- A restart at night, a backup before the weekend: you decide in the panel what happens when, all by itself.
- Crash notice
- If your server crashes you are told, if you like – by e-mail or Discord.
The panel in pictures
Screenshot from the Nexthosting panel (shown in German). Arrow keys switch between the areas.
Included for free: your server’s live status
Your players can see for themselves whether the server is up and how full it is right now.
- In Discord
- A message in your channel that updates itself: status, players, map and address. No bot needed.
- On websites and forums
- A banner as an image, for a signature for example. You copy the embed code in the panel.
Included with every game server at no extra charge, you switch it on in the panel. Player count and map are available for games with a server query, online or offline is always shown.
Example: a Discord channel shows the status message of a server with 12 of 50 players, ping, uptime and address. Below it is a forum post whose signature contains the status banner of the same server. Both show the same player count.
Frequently asked questions
What you want to know before ordering.
Your question is not here? Write to us
How quickly is my Palworld server ready?
After payment your server sets itself up: it downloads Palworld and starts. You open the panel straight from your customer account.
How many players fit on my server?
As many as you set. You enter the maximum number of players yourself in the startup settings – up to 32, Palworld allows no more. You don’t pay for slots with us: the plans differ only in memory, cores and storage.
As a guide, Basic is sized for about 8, Advanced for about 16, Premium for about 24 and Community for about 32 players. If it gets tight, you move to a larger plan or add memory and cores one by one.
How do my friends find the server?
In two ways: they look for your server name in the game’s list of community servers – or they enter your server’s address there directly. The address is shown in the panel.
Whether your server is listed is a switch in the startup settings. That is also where you set a password if only your own people should get in.
How do I change the experience rate, capture rate or death penalty?
In the file PalWorldSettings.ini. You find it in the file manager under Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer. Stop the server, replace the value behind the key, save, start.
Which keys these are and what to enter is shown by the peg board further up.
What happens when Palworld updates?
On every start your server checks for an update and fetches it. So after a game update a restart is all it takes – and you can set that up as a schedule in the panel.
How do I back up my world?
In the panel you back up your server with one click or set up a schedule yourself. Depending on the plan you have 2 to 5 backup slots. When you press Stop, your server saves the world before it shuts down.
Can I change or extend later?
Yes. You move to a larger plan at any time and at once, the difference is charged pro rata; to a smaller one at the end of the term. Or you add memory, cores or storage one by one with “Extend your server”.
Is there a minimum term?
With monthly billing you can cancel your plan monthly. Longer terms can be chosen as well; then the agreed term applies.
