How to Set Up a Palworld Server on Chapter22

Setup checklist

1. Choose a tier on Palworld hosting (Outpost / Colony / Factory — Ogden UT, AMD · DDR5 · NVMe · Pterodactyl).
2. Complete checkout in the client portal when stock is available.
3. Open Pterodactyl → start the server → wait for SteamCMD + first boot.
4. Set server name, optional password, and admin password in Startup variables.
5. Copy IP:port and invite friends via Direct Connect.
6. Schedule a backup before editing PalWorldSettings.ini.

Soft upsells on the product page (Extra RAM / Boosted CPU / Storage) stay on game hosting — never VPS SKUs.
