Palworld server hosting
Palworld server hosting with CFTools Architect keeps the dedicated world on a machine you control. Palworld updates have a habit of landing quickly, and the world save is what a group loses when nobody took a copy. Architect installs the server, applies updates, edits configuration, backs up the world, restarts, recovers from crashes, and can wipe when you want a new island. Mod management is not a Palworld Architect feature. Cloud RCon is not available for Palworld.
Runs on a Windows or Linux machine you control.
Hosting highlights
A world that stays online
Deploy Palworld to a Windows or Linux host you control so the session does not depend on the player who owns the desktop. Architect does not sell Palworld slots.
World backups before a patch
Take a backup immediately before a Palworld update. If the new build dislikes the save, the previous world is still on the machine.
Updates on Pocketpair time
Architect can update the dedicated server when a patch ships and start it again. That replaces a group chat full of people asking who will restart the box.
Rates and server settings
Edit Palworld server configuration from Manager. Rates and the public settings for the world stay on the server record.
Restarts and a fresh world
Schedule restarts so the process is not left in a bad state for days. Automatic wipes are supported when the group wants a new world instead of the old pals.
Metrics while the base grows
Hardware metrics show whether the VPS is falling behind as bases spread. Crash recovery restarts Palworld if the dedicated process exits.
How to self-host Palworld
Choose a machine that can stay up, install Architect Agent, deploy Palworld, and open the game port. Enable backups before the first long play session. Webhooks can tell you the server stopped. A second person can get RBAC access to restart it without full control of the host.
Palworld caveats
Architect mod management is not enabled for Palworld. CFTools Cloud does not provide a Palworld RCon admin tool. Hosting is the dedicated server, the world file, updates, and wipes on hardware you pay for yourself.
Backups matter more than the panel
A Palworld community remembers the world, not the control panel. Backup automation plus a wipe you run on purpose are the two ways that world changes. Use the backup before either an update or a wipe.
What you need to host Palworld
The dedicated server has to live somewhere that does not sleep. Architect maintains it there.
