Picking between Shockbyte and Supercraft for Palworld
Where Shockbyte is genuinely strong
Established budget host with Multicraft panel for Palworld dedicated servers. Single-game plans keep the buying flow simple, and pricing is publicly visible per tier (unlike some competitors). Decent baseline for small Palworld groups under 16 players who want a familiar brand and predictable monthly billing.
What Palworld hosters tell us they switched away from
Three-day refund is the tightest window in the budget tier, so once you commit you have a long weekend to validate that the server actually performs for your group. Multicraft was designed around Minecraft and feels grafted onto Palworld; PalWorldSettings.ini editing is functional but not first-class. RAM and CPU headroom on the lower Palworld tiers gets thin during taming raids and large-base physics ticks, so plan to size up if your group runs heavy automation.
Palworld-specific: what actually matters on the server side
Palworld dedicated servers are CPU-bound on the AI tick loop (per-pal behavior plus base physics) more than RAM-bound. Slot count is misleading, since eight players with massive automated bases can hit higher CPU than 32 players in a fresh world. Supercraft assigns dedicated cores with no idle throttling, exposes full PalWorldSettings.ini via SFTP, and gives you the headroom to grow without re-buying a plan.
Move regions like changing a setting
If your community moves from EU to NA, you swap the region in one click — no refund, no re-purchase, no IP change for whitelist purposes. Shockbyte requires cancelling and starting fresh.
Edit files like you’d edit them on your own machine
Full FTP, full file manager, no “premium tier” upsell to access your own Palworld configs. Run the mods you want, edit the configs you want, backup whenever you want.
7-day refund, plain English
If it’s not what you expected, you get your money back in the first 7 days. No pro-rating clauses, no “service usage credits”, no support ticket bouncing.
Common questions from Shockbyte customers
Can I migrate my existing Shockbyte Palworld world?
Yes. Download your save / world directory from Shockbyte via their FTP or backup feature, then upload it into Supercraft via our file manager before first start. Most Palworld migrations take under 10 minutes.
Why is Supercraft cheaper for the same slot count?
Because we don’t break out the things you assumed were included — DDoS, file access, region swap, automated backups — into add-on tiers. The price you see on the plan card is the price you pay.
Do you support the same Palworld mods / mod loaders that Shockbyte does?
Yes. Palworld mod support is community-driven, not host-specific. As long as the mod runs on a self-hosted dedicated server, it runs on Supercraft. We give you direct file access to install whatever the modding scene supports.
What if my server isn’t fast enough?
Upgrade in-place — slots, RAM, CPU priority — without losing your world. If the upgraded plan still doesn’t fit, the 7-day money-back applies to the whole subscription, not just the upgrade.
