A Palworld server that is still there tomorrow. The world and everyone's bases stay up whether or not the PC that started them is on, at a fixed address the kids' friends can save once.

And a server with a bedtime. It closes at nine, tells you who has been playing and for how long, and messages you when someone joins.

Most Palworld hosting is sold to whoever plays. This one answers to the person who pays for it.

The parental controls, at a glance

• Who is on, right now. Names, and how long each of them has been playing this session.
• How long they have played today. Per child, today and across the past week, on the first screen rather than buried.
• A daily allowance for each child. Set how long each of them can play on weekdays and at weekends, with a warning in the game five minutes before it runs out.
• A bedtime that closes the server on its own. Different hours for school nights and weekends, with warnings in the game before it shuts, and anyone still playing sent home.
• A push notification when they join or leave. On your phone, at a glance, with nothing to install.
• An invite you can send in one tap. The address, the port and the password, ready to paste to your kid's friend.
• No chat reading. Deliberately. See below.

A private web panel, signed in with your ElfHosted account, so it is yours alone. Nobody who plays on the server can open it.

Can I limit how long they play each day?

Yes. Give each child a daily allowance, one amount for weekdays and another for the weekend, or set one for the whole household and adjust it for anyone who needs more or less. They get a warning in the game five minutes before it runs out, and then the server sends them home for the day. Rejoining does not reset it.

A special day? Add extra time for today from the panel, and tomorrow the usual allowance applies again. Allowances reset at midnight in your timezone, and bedtime still closes the world for everyone, whatever time is left.

The allowance follows the name a player shows in the game, which they choose themselves, so a child who renames starts a fresh one. It is a nudge for a household that plays along, not a lock.

Honest about what it is

Bedtime closes the server and keeps anyone who tries to rejoin out until morning, rather than locking a door Palworld does not have. Access is a single server password you control, so changing it is how you remove someone for good. And we do not read chat, moderate players, or vet who joins. This is a way to run the household rule you already have, not a way to watch over anyone's shoulder.

Runs the standard Steam dedicated server, always on, backed up, with no port forwarding to set up. Built by parents who host these at home.
