FiveM Server Plans and Pricing

When choosing a FiveM plan, core count matters as much as RAM: the database and txAdmin run on the same machine as the game server. That's why we list plans from 4 GB up.

How Much RAM and How Many Cores Does a FiveM Server Need?

What strains a FiveM server most is script load rather than player count. Custom vehicle packs (streamed assets), MLO interiors and scripts with loops running every frame occupy both RAM and the server's main thread.

Because FXServer itself, the MariaDB database and txAdmin share the machine, 2-core plans are only suitable for testing. For a live RP server, we recommend starting with plans that have at least 4 cores.

Use case	Players	Recommended RAM	Matching plan
Test / development server	1–10	4 GB	FiveM 4 GB
New RP server (ESX or QBCore)	16–32	6–8 GB	FiveM 8 GB
Active RP, custom vehicles and MLOs	32–64	10–12 GB	FiveM 12 GB
Large RP, heavy scripts and streaming	64–128	16–24 GB	FiveM 16 GB / 24 GB
Main server + separate test server	128+	32 GB+	FiveM 32 GB

To track resource usage, run resmon 1 in the F8 console in-game; scripts that spend more than 0.1 ms while idle usually need optimising.

txAdmin, OneSync, ESX and QBCore

FiveM is a multiplayer platform for GTA V developed by Cfx.re. When people look for GTA V server hosting today, they almost always mean a FiveM server. The server side runs FXServer; players need their own copy of GTA V, but you don't need to install the game on the server.

What matters when hosting FiveM isn't just getting the server online, but running it smoothly with the framework you choose. You can use all of the tools below on our plans.

txAdmin

The web-based management tool bundled with FXServer. Starting the server, scheduled restarts, bans and logs are all handled in the browser. It opens on port 40120 by default.

OneSync

Server-side entity synchronisation, required for servers above 32 players and for large maps. Enable it during txAdmin setup or with set onesync on in server.cfg.

ESX Legacy

One of the most widely used RP frameworks. Jobs, inventory and economy systems are built in, and a huge number of free and paid scripts support ESX.

QBCore and Qbox

QBCore stands out for its modern structure and ready-made scripts. Qbox is a performance-focused continuation built on the ox libraries while keeping QBCore compatibility.

MariaDB and oxmysql

Character, vehicle and inventory data lives in a MySQL/MariaDB database. Run it on the same server at no extra cost and connect your scripts with oxmysql.

Windows or Linux

FXServer comes in Windows and Linux builds. Choose Windows Server for a familiar remote desktop environment, or Linux to run with fewer resources.

How to Set Up a FiveM Server

Thanks to the license key and txAdmin, setting up FiveM takes only a few steps. If you choose FiveM during installation, the FXServer files come preinstalled and you go straight to txAdmin.

1Pick the FiveM plan that fits your player count and select FiveM during the operating system installation.
2Sign in to Keymaster with your Cfx.re account and create a free license key for your server.
3Start the server, open http://server-ip:40120 in your browser and link txAdmin to your Cfx.re account with the PIN shown in the console.
4In txAdmin's setup wizard, choose a recipe: an empty server, ESX Legacy, QBCore or Qbox.
5The wizard asks for database details and your license key; once entered, the framework, database tables and base scripts are installed automatically.
6Upload your own scripts to the resources folder and add them to server.cfg with an ensure script-name line.
7Players connect by typing connect server-ip in the F8 console or by finding your server in the server list; the default game port is 30120 (TCP and UDP).

Moving an existing RP server from another host? Transfer your resources folder, server.cfg and a database dump (SQL). Our team can also handle the migration for free.

FiveM Slot Limits and Player Capacity

Nodesty doesn't limit slots; plans are priced by resources (RAM and cores), not per player. You decide how many people can join with sv_maxclients in server.cfg.

The real slot limit comes from Cfx.re: with a free license, FiveM servers can be opened to up to 48 players. Higher slot counts require Cfx.re's paid Element Club membership. When your community starts to outgrow 48 players, plan for that membership first and then for the larger plans in the table.

FiveM Script Performance and Server Optimisation

Most hitches on an RP server come from scripts, not hardware. A loop that runs every frame (Wait(0)), unnecessary database queries or oversized vehicle files will slow down both the server and your players on even the fastest CPU.

Measure instead of guessing. txAdmin's performance chart shows the server's tick time over time; resmon 1 in-game lists client-side load and profiler record in the server console lists server-side load per script.

Thin out loops

Running checks that don't need to happen every frame every few hundred milliseconds usually brings an idle script's load down to around 0.01 ms.

Shrink streamed assets

High-resolution vehicle and MLO files lengthen join times and consume memory. Smaller textures and removing unused vehicles speed up connecting.

Batch database writes

Saving inventory or vehicle data at intervals and in a single query, rather than on every change, noticeably reduces database load.

Keep artifacts up to date

FXServer builds (artifacts) are updated frequently and include performance fixes. Take a backup and try a new build on a test server before switching.

Restart schedule

Scheduling a daily automatic restart in txAdmin during quiet hours clears memory leaks from long-running scripts, and players are warned in advance.

Location and Latency for FiveM Players

Our servers run in Frankfurt, Germany. FiveM communities across Europe connect with low latency, and from Istanbul the measured latency is 30–50 ms, comfortable for car chases and shootouts where players need to see each other in the right place.

A central European location keeps ping balanced if your community includes players from several countries, for example the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Turkey.

Why Nodesty?

The quality of an RP server shows in the evening, when 60 players are in the city at once. We picked our infrastructure for those moments.

5.7 GHz Ryzen 9 9950X

Most game servers run their main loop on a single core. High clock speed keeps tick times low even when the server is packed.

L3–L7 DDoS protection

nShield's 3+ Tbps of capacity protects every layer from L3 to L7. Protection is enabled on every plan at no extra cost.

NVMe storage

Worlds, maps and databases live on NVMe drives, so saves cause fewer hitches and restarts are faster.

Pick your game at install

Choose your game when installing the operating system and your server arrives with the game software ready. Reinstall from the same screen whenever you like.

Free backups and migration

Automatic daily backups are kept for 7 days. Our team will move your server from another provider for free.

24/7 support

Open a ticket for connection, port or attack issues; our team responds around the clock.
