Latency
Overseas Servers Rubber-Band. Ours Don’t.
A US or European box sits 160–200ms from an Australian connection. Palworld is forgiving enough that nobody calls it lag — it just quietly stops feeling right. Here is what your group notices first, and what 12ms from Sydney does about it.
Riding a Pal
≈200msYou mount up, run three seconds, and get snapped back to where you started. Every mount in the game feels like it is on a leash.
YOU
SERVER
Melee that lands late
≈200msYou swing, the Pal reacts a beat later, and the hit that killed you already happened on the server before your screen showed it.
YOU
SERVER
Base-building desync
≈200msYou place a wall, it appears, then it un-places. Foundations reappear where the server thinks they are, not where you put them.

From Sydney
12ms
Melbourne → Sydney node, typical fibre
Under one frame at 60fps.
At 12ms there is nothing for the client to predict and nothing to correct. It plays like singleplayer with your mates in it — and it costs the same as the server in Virginia.

Plans
The Same Price as Virginia or Frankfurt
Palworld server hosting in Australia starts at $12.99/month (about A$20). Most global hosts add 30–50% for an Oceania server. We charge the same in Sydney as in every other region, and all 32 player slots are included on every plan — you’re choosing a world size, not a headcount.
Recommended
No Australia tax. Sydney is priced identically to Virginia, Frankfurt, Helsinki and Montreal. The region is a dropdown, not a surcharge.
Australian dollar figures are approximate, at August 2026 rates — billed in USD. We don’t bill in AUD; your card or PayPal converts at its own rate.

Leak protection
What the 3:30am restart actually does
Palworld leaks memory. The longer a server runs, the more RAM it holds, until the world starts stuttering and Pals stop pathing. Every host clears it with a daily restart — ours is scheduled on Sydney quiet hours, not someone else’s.
01
It saves first
The world is written to disk before the process stops. Nothing built the night before is lost.
02
It’s back in seconds
Not a maintenance window. If you’re somehow awake at 3:30am, you reconnect and keep going.
03
Staggered per region
Every region restarts on its own local quiet hours. Sydney’s schedule is set in Sydney’s timezone.

Overseas hosts
Singapore95msPLAYABLE
Los Angeles155msROUGH
155ms is roughly what an overseas server hands every player in your group, permanently.
Playing from Perth?
52ms is 3,300km of continent, and no host can shorten it. It’s still a third of what Los Angeles costs you, and Palworld at 52ms has no rubber-banding.
Someone in Southeast Asia?
Singapore is 95ms to Sydney — playable, and a far better trade than putting six Australians on 160ms so one player gets 30ms.
Crossplay
Your Xbox Mates Can Actually Find It
Crossplay is on for every server we run: Steam, Xbox, PS5 and Mac share one world. Consoles can’t type an IP, so Xbox and PS5 players join through Palworld’s in-game community browser — a global list dominated by overseas servers.
01
Name it something searchable.
Your server name is what your friends type into the browser filter.
02
Set a password in the panel.
The name stays visible in the list; nobody gets in without it.
03
They search, they join.
One world, one save, whatever they’re playing on.
