What the source says, in its own figures.

How to size a VPS for Palworld
Pocketpair's documentation for the Palworld dedicated server lists a 4-core CPU and 16 GB of RAM, and 32 GB or more for larger servers. It says 8 GB will boot but makes out-of-memory crashes more likely, so this page only lists 16 GB plans and up.
Storage speed matters more than size. The docs recommend a fast SSD and warn that low-performance storage may corrupt saved data, so prefer NVMe plans. No disk size is given; 40 GB leaves room for the server files, the world and backups (our estimate).
The server runs on 64-bit Windows or Linux, with Ubuntu and AlmaLinux named in the docs, so it doesn't need a Windows license. Players connect on UDP port 8211 by default: open it in the provider's firewall and pick a data center near your players.
Our recommendation: 4 or more vCPU, 16 GB RAM and NVMe storage, and 32 GB or more for a larger server.
