How to Transfer a Palworld Server to NameHero

You can upload Palworld servers to NameHero from either co-op servers or other dedicated servers. However, transferring servers on Windows typically carries a higher risk of losing player data. On the other hand, migrating from Linux-based dedicated servers is much safer, with minimal risk of data loss.

For Windows servers, the community has developed methods to preserve player data during the transfer process. This involves manually editing the server files to ensure all player progress is retained. By carefully following these steps, you can successfully transfer your Palworld server to NameHero while minimizing the risk of data loss. Palworld Save Tool
