Rent a FiveM server,ready for ESX and QBCore.

With us a FiveM server starts at €14.99 per month; the entry size in the catalogue is 32 slots, and you can book 8 to 128. That is the final price, under § 19 of the German VAT Act we charge no VAT, so nothing is added on top. For context: on the market, 6–8 GB of RAM for an ESX or QBCore server with 32–64 slots typically costs €7–15 per month, and large RP servers with 12 GB or more sit at €15–30. That does not make us the cheapest provider, but DDoS protection, backups, txAdmin and framework support are included and never reappear as a surcharge.

For a bare vanilla server to try things out, 4 GB is enough. Once ESX or QBCore arrives with the usual job, inventory and housing scripts, plan for 6 to 8 GB; beyond 64 slots and a script stack grown over months, 16 to 32 GB is realistic. The most important rule of thumb rarely makes it into guides: it is not your player count that eats memory, it is the number and quality of your resources. Two hundred poorly optimised scripts cost you more than a hundred extra players.

Count what is online at the same time, not your Discord member count. A young RP server usually does fine on 32 slots; once you regularly have a full queue, the jump to 64 is due, and from there server performance matters more than the slot count. You can book 8 to 128 slots with us and change that number at any time in the customer portal, up or down. Start small and grow into it rather than paying six months for seats that stay empty.

Yes, both, and Qbox, or a fully standalone build, just the same. You get full file access via the file manager and SFTP plus txAdmin, and you install the framework exactly as you would on your own server; we prescribe nothing and block nothing. If you get stuck setting it up, our support still helps, even though the framework is not ours. That is precisely the difference from hosts whose support stops at the word “ESX”.

Yes. You have full access to your server's file system, through the file manager in the customer portal or over SFTP with FileZilla or WinSCP. Your own MLOs, scripts, vehicles and streaming assets go into the resources folder, get an entry in server.cfg, and a restart activates them. You need no approval from us; the limit is the storage in your plan, not our permission.

In four steps: upload the MLO's folder into resources/, add a line ensure <foldername> to server.cfg, restart the server, then teleport to the spot in game and check that the interior, collision and lighting are right. The most common cause of trouble is two mappings loading the same interior at the same coordinates, that produces invisible walls, or floors you fall straight through. MLOs from our studio come with installation instructions, and if your server runs with us you get installation support directly from us instead of through a ticket detour.

Both work, the question is where you want to spend your time. A game server with us arrives set up: FiveM build, txAdmin, console, backups and DDoS protection are there, and you start at server.cfg. A VPS with root access gives you more freedom, your own database stack, several servers on one machine, your own panel, but you handle the operating system, updates and hardening yourself. If you are just starting out, take the game server; if you already have someone on the team who administers Linux, the VPS pays off from the second or third server.

Yes. FiveM is a modification platform officially supported by Rockstar Games, the Cfx.re team has been part of Rockstar since 2019, and running your own server is expressly intended. You need a free server key from the Cfx.re keymaster, and every player on your server must legally own GTA V. Anything you sell on your server is additionally subject to the Cfx.re terms of service, stick to them and the legal side is uncritical. This is our assessment as a host and does not replace legal advice.

You do not have to set up the basic protection at all: layer 4 DDoS filtering is included on all our game servers and costs nothing extra. For heavily trafficked FiveM communities we extend this to layer 7 protection free of charge on request, just tell us before the first wave hits. What you can contribute: do not post the real server IP in Discord or on your website, keep scripts and framework up to date, and assign admin rights per person in the portal instead of passing passwords around.

Provisioning is automatic: after your order the server deploys without any action from you and is reachable within minutes, with console, file access and txAdmin. What takes time after that is up to you: a vanilla server is playable in a quarter of an hour, while an ESX or QBCore setup with database, jobs and inventory realistically costs you an evening to a weekend. So the waiting is not on our side but on your framework, and we help you when you get stuck.
