Rent a FiveM server for your GTA RP city

A GTA RP server is FXServer plus a stack of resources, and it will not boot without a free license key from the Cfx.re Portal set as sv_licenseKey in server.cfg. txAdmin has shipped inside FXServer since early 2020: you link your Cfx.re account, pick a recipe and let the deployer build the server. The ESX Legacy and QBCore recipes pull in the framework and set up its database tables, so both need a MySQL-compatible database; their official install guides use MariaDB.

The real decisions come after that. set onesync on gives the server state awareness of every entity, while legacy mode exists only for old scripts and Cfx.re does not recommend it. sv_enforceGameBuild picks which DLC content clients load, up to build 3889 (The Kortz Center Heist), and can only be set at startup. sv_pureLevel blocks modified client files, and sv_maxclients sets slots within your Element Club tier. Since July 21, 2026 there is also an edition choice: FiveM for GTAV Enhanced is in early access with its own server build and requires GTA V Enhanced.

Your server deploys in under 60 seconds with txAdmin and the ESX/QBCore recipes ready, and resource folders go up through the file manager or SFTP. Starter's 6 GB and 3 vCPU suit a fresh recipe city for a small crew; Plus (10 GB) and Pro (16 GB, 4 vCPU) leave headroom for big script stacks and streamed vehicle, clothing and MLO packs. Scheduled backups and tasks cover nightly restarts, and DDoS protection stays on in all 7 EU locations.

One-click mods

Resources, scripts and escrowed assets

Everything on a FiveM server is a resource: a folder in resources/ with an fxmanifest.lua, written in Lua, JavaScript or C#, started with an ensure line in server.cfg. Bracketed folders like [jobs] group them. Free resources go up as plain files; scripts bought on Tebex can be escrowed and only start for the Cfx.re account that bought them. The panel installs txAdmin with the ESX or QBCore recipe in one click, and the file manager and SFTP handle the rest.

How to set up a GTA: FiveM server

Five steps, about two minutes. No command line, no port forwarding.

  1. Pick your plan

    Choose the GTA: FiveM plan that matches your group. Starter suits a small private world; you can upgrade in one click later without losing anything.

  2. Check out — we deploy it

    There is nothing to install and no server to configure by hand. Payment goes through and your machine provisions itself in under a minute.

  3. Open the game panel

    Your login is the email you signed up with. The panel shows live CPU and RAM, a real console, and one big Start button.

  4. Set it up for GTA: FiveM

    Pick your version, set the slots and allocate 4–16 GB. Mods and plugins install from the panel — no FTP, no config files by hand.

  5. Invite your players

    Copy the address from the panel and send it to your group. Plans here run 32–2048 slots. That is the whole job — the server stays online whether or not you are.

What GTA: FiveM needs from a server

How many players your server can hold

Player slots are set by sv_maxClients, and beyond 48 the ceiling depends on your Cfx.re subscription tier. The OneSync documentation describes OneSync as free for up to 48 slots, and the Cfx.re support page states that using more than 48 slots requires an Element Club Argentum subscription or higher.

TierWith OneSyncWith OneSync Infinity
No subscription4848
Element Club Argentum6464
Element Club Aurum64128
Element Club Platinum1282048

The official hosting FAQ asks users to allow up to 6 hours for perks to activate.

What your players need on their side

The official system requirements page lists a fully updated Windows 8.1, 10, or 11, and states that the system must also meet the minimum requirements of the original game. The documentation states that FiveM requires a fully updated installation of GTAV and will not work with illegitimate copies.

  • RAM — 8GB minimum, with the page noting that 4GB may work, against 16GB recommended.
  • Disk — about 105GB, plus a further 4 to 8GB.

Machine baseline, and Windows versus Linux

The official hosting FAQ recommends an x86-64 system running Linux or Windows (7/2008 R2+), decent upstream connectivity, and preferably a multi-core processor.

If you are choosing an operating system for the server: Cfx.re describes the Linux version of FXServer as only a courtesy port, citing Linux distribution compatibility and the availability of diagnostic tools for native C++ code, and adds that anyone experiencing issues is more likely to see them fixed on the Windows version.

FAQ

GTA: FiveM hosting questions

How much does a FiveM server cost?
FiveM server hosting starts at $17.99/month on Starter. Plus and Pro add more RAM, vCPU and player slots — and paying ahead cuts the price: 20% off for 3 months, 22% for 6, 25% for 12.
Do I need a Cfx.re license key for my FiveM server?
Yes. Generate a free key under Registration Keys on the Cfx.re Portal and set it with sv_licenseKey in server.cfg, or paste it into the txAdmin recipe deployer. If the console says no license key was specified, the server was usually started from the wrong folder or without +exec server.cfg.
Does FiveM cost money to run?
The license key is free, and the FiveM client and FXServer artifacts are free downloads. Players need their own legitimate, updated copy of GTA V. The costs come from hosting, from an Element Club subscription if you want more than 48 slots, and from any paid Tebex scripts or assets you buy for your city.
Should I run FiveM Legacy or FiveM for GTAV Enhanced?
Enhanced entered early access on July 21, 2026 with separate server binaries, and fivem.net lists it as requiring GTA V Enhanced while classic FiveM requires GTA V Legacy. Cfx.re's What's Changed page lists Asset Escrow as not implemented yet on Enhanced, only the latest game build is supported, and existing assets may need converting with the Alchemist tool.
Why does a script I bought say "You lack the required entitlement"?
The script is escrowed, and escrowed assets only start on a server whose owner is entitled to them through their Cfx.re account. Check that sv_licenseKey holds a key generated on the same account that made the Tebex purchase. Cfx.re's documentation states that assets cannot be transferred between accounts, so buy with the account that owns the server key.
Which game build should my FiveM server enforce?
Set sv_enforceGameBuild in server.cfg to the build whose DLC vehicles, maps and clothing your resources need; the newest listed is 3889, The Kortz Center Heist. It can only be set at startup, not changed at runtime, so a switch needs a full server restart. Check what build your add-on vehicle and map resources were made for before you pick one.
Do you offer cheap FiveM server hosting?
Yes — GGameHost is affordable FiveM server hosting: plans start at $17.99/month with no setup fees, and prepaying takes 20% to 25% off (3, 6 or 12 months), so a 12-month term brings the Starter plan down to $13.49/month. You still get AMD Ryzen + NVMe hardware, DDoS protection and 24/7 support — cheap FiveM hosting without the lag or hidden limits.
What is FiveM and why rent a dedicated server?
FiveM is the multiplayer mod that turned GTA V into the biggest roleplay platform around, powered by ESX and QBCore. A dedicated server with txAdmin lets you build a full RP city with custom Lua/C# resources.
Can I run a modded FiveM server?
Yes — GGameHost is built for modded FiveM server hosting. Your FiveM server supports txAdmin with ESX/QBCore Lua & C# resources: install from the one-click manager or upload your own from the control panel, and add RAM in a click if a heavy modpack needs more.
How many players can my FiveM server hold?
Our FiveM plans handle 32–2048 slots. Slots are performance-based, not licence-capped, so start small and upgrade instantly as your community grows.
How much RAM does a FiveM server need?
Plan for 4–16 GB for FiveM, scaling with player count and mods. CPU clock speed matters most for smooth tick rate — our high-clock AMD Ryzen hardware keeps FiveM fast, and you can upgrade RAM in one click.
How do I set up a FiveM server?
There is no manual install — pick a plan, check out, and your FiveM server deploys automatically in under 60 seconds. Then manage everything from the control panel.
How do my friends join my FiveM server?
Share your server IP and port — friends connect in seconds, and your FiveM server stays online 24/7 even when you log off.
Where are your servers located?
In Europe — Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Warsaw, Stockholm, Milan and Madrid. Tell us your preferred location when you order.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes — always-on, multi-Tbps DDoS filtering is included free on every plan and location.
Are automatic backups included?
Yes — schedule automatic backups and restore your FiveM world in a couple of clicks from the panel.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Every FiveM plan is covered by a 7-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
