Palworld guilds in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the rest of Southeast Asia have historically had two bad choices: host in Japan or Korea and accept a mediocre ping, or host in the US or Europe and accept a bad one. Neither is necessary anymore. A Singapore based server puts most of Southeast Asia within a comfortable latency range, which matters more for Palworld than players might expect, since base building, breeding automation, and multiplayer combat all rely on consistent server ticks.
Latency across the region
Singapore is the closest Space-Node location for most of Southeast Asia. Malaysia sits right next door, and Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines are all a shorter trip to Singapore than to Japan, the US or Europe. For a guild spread across two or three of these countries, it is usually the fairest compromise.
We are not going to print a ping table here, because we have not measured one per country and your real number depends on your ISP and the route it takes. What we do have is better than a table: the plan selector on the Palworld hosting page runs a live ping check from your own browser to each of our regions, Singapore included, before you order. Run it from every player's connection if you want to be sure.
Why this matters for Palworld specifically
Palworld's dedicated server handles Pal AI, breeding calculations, base structure syncing, and combat, all server side. A high ping does not just delay your own actions, it delays how quickly the server confirms them back to you, which shows up as rubber banding when running, delayed hits in combat, and Pals that seem to lag a step behind their orders. Moving the server closer to your players is the real fix for that, because no amount of hardware makes up for distance.
Hardware behind the Singapore node
Palworld leans on both CPU and RAM more than most survival games, especially as a base grows and more Pals are actively working. Our Singapore location runs the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, a 16 core chip with a 4.9 GHz boost clock and DDR4 memory, on a single hardware tier. Storage is NVMe, which matters because Pocketpair warns that slow storage can corrupt saved data, and DDoS protection is included on every plan.
On memory, go by Pocketpair's own requirements page: it lists 16GB, adds "Recommended for larger than 32GB", and says 8GB "is also bootable, but increases the possibility of server crashes due to out of memory." Our Palworld plans run from 8GB to 48GB, so there is room to follow that as your world grows.
Plans available in Singapore
Palworld hosting starts from 10.20 EUR per month with LAMBALL (8GB) and goes up to NECROMUS (48GB). A Palworld dedicated server holds at most 32 players, whichever plan you pick. The plan selector offers nine regions: the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California), USA (Virginia), Singapore, India and Australia. Singapore uses the same plans and prices as the Netherlands, so picking it does not mean a stripped down feature set.
India has its own node in Mumbai rather than going through Singapore. If most of your guild is in India, pick India in the selector and compare the two with the ping check.
Crossplay is on in Palworld's default settings (the CrossplayPlatforms option covers Steam, Xbox, PS5 and Mac). One catch, straight from Pocketpair's server docs: Xbox and PS5 players can only join a server that runs as a community server. If console players are part of your guild, check with us in live chat before you order.
Setting up a Southeast Asian Palworld server
- Go to the Palworld hosting page and pick a plan based on your guild size.
- In the region selector, choose Singapore.
- Run the live latency check in your browser to confirm your actual ping before checking out.
- Setup is automatic after payment. Share the address with your guild, and check the crossplay settings if anyone plays on console.
Mixed regional guilds
If your guild includes players from Japan or Korea as well, Singapore is still a reasonable middle ground, but run the ping check from their connections too and compare it with our California location. For a guild that is more than half Japanese or Korean, a host with a location in Japan or Korea may still edge out Singapore. If most of your players are in Australia, our Sydney location is the better pick. For any roster that leans Southeast Asian, Singapore is the strongest option Space-Node offers.
FAQ
Does Space-Node have a server location in the Philippines, Malaysia, or Indonesia? No. Space-Node's closest location for all three countries is Singapore. Your actual ping depends on your ISP and route, so run the live ping check on the plan selector before you order.
Is Palworld available on the Singapore location? Yes. Palworld, along with Minecraft, FiveM and most of our other games, runs on the Singapore node on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X hardware. It is one of nine regions in the plan selector.
What ping is good enough for Palworld? Lower is better, and there is no hard line. Palworld is a survival game rather than a shooter, so a bit more delay is playable, but you will notice it in fast combat. Pick the region with the lowest reading for most of your guild.
