Rent a FiveM Server

You can run a FiveM server on a machine you own. Renting one means the artifacts, the database, txAdmin and the ports are already standing when you log in, and the machine stays online when your PC does not. Plans start at $9.91 a month.

Why rent instead of self-hosting

A FiveM server is not demanding to install. It is demanding to keep alive. The box has to stay powered and online around the clock, you patch the artifacts whenever Cfx.re ships a release, you run and secure MySQL because every roleplay framework depends on it, and you forward TCP and UDP 30120 through a router that was not built for it. Hosting from home also puts your own IP address in front of anyone who wants to attack it.

Renting removes all of that without taking any control away. You still own the resources folder, the database and the server configuration. What you stop owning is the maintenance.

What you get for the money

A dedicated server, not a shared slot

The plan sets your CPU, RAM and disk, and the whole of it is yours. txAdmin is already running on its own address, and a MySQL database is provisioned and connected before your first resource loads.

Your licence key, your server

The cfx.re key is issued to your own Cfx.re account and pasted into txAdmin after deploy. The server is registered to you, so moving elsewhere later never costs you its identity.

Month to month, no contract

A flat monthly rate for the resources, billed monthly. There is no setup fee, no per-player surcharge from us, and the database is included in every tier rather than sold as an add-on.

What a FiveM server costs to rent

Pricing is by resources rather than by headcount. The slot number on each tier is what that hardware comfortably serves on a normally loaded roleplay server, not a licence we sell you one player at a time.

Plan	Game server	Total resources	Price
32 slots	6GB RAM	3.5 vCores, 25GB disk, 1GB database	$9.91/mo
48 slots	8GB RAM	5.5 vCores, 35GB disk, 2GB database	$13.28/mo
64 slots	12GB RAM	6.5 vCores, 50GB disk, 2GB database	$16.39/mo

One thing worth knowing before you pick the top tier, because it is not on the invoice. FiveM caps a server at 48 slots unless the licence key carries a Cfx.re Element Club Argentum subscription, which costs $15 a month paid to Cfx.re and needs OneSync enabled. Set the slot count above 48 without it and the server keeps running, but it fails its heartbeat check and disappears from the public server browser. The 32 and 48 slot plans need nothing beyond the free licence key.

The first month is free for accounts new to Flux Cloud, one per account rather than per server, and there is a 30 day money-back window on a first paid month. Exact prices come live from the Flux Marketplace and are shown in the pricing section of the homepage.

Renting a server, step by step

Sign in with Google, email or a Flux wallet.
Pick a slot tier and a region close to your players.
Pay, or take the first month free if your Flux account is new.
Open txAdmin on the address the dashboard gives you and paste your cfx.re key.
Install qbcore, qbox, ESX or your own resource set and open the city.

Deployment takes about a minute. What usually takes longer is deciding on a framework, and you can change your mind about that as often as you like.

Rent close to your players

Latency is decided by distance, so where you rent matters more than most spec sheets admit. Flux is a decentralized network with capacity in more than 50 countries, and you pick the region at deploy time rather than accepting whichever data centre a host happens to run. Your database is kept in sync across the nodes your app runs on, so one machine failing does not take the city with it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent a FiveM server?

On Flux it starts at $9.91 a month for 32 slots, $13.28 for 48 and $16.39 for 64, billed monthly with no contract. The MySQL database and the sync operator are included in every tier rather than charged separately. Budget separately for a Cfx.re Element Club Argentum subscription if you intend to run more than 48 slots.

Do I need my own cfx.re licence key to rent?

Yes. The key is free from the Cfx.re portal and issued to your own account, which is what keeps the server yours rather than the host’s. After deploying you open txAdmin once and paste it in. A host that registers the key to itself is the only genuine lock-in in this market.

Can I run more than 48 players?

Only with a Cfx.re Element Club Argentum subscription attached to your licence key, at $15 a month paid to Cfx.re, with OneSync enabled. That is a FiveM rule rather than a hosting one, and it applies wherever you rent. Without it, a server set above 48 slots drops out of the public server browser.

Can I move an existing server to a rented one?

Yes. A FiveM server is a resources folder and a MySQL database, and both are portable. Upload your resources, import your SQL dump and point txAdmin at them. The step that usually goes wrong, having a database ready and connected before the framework starts, is already done when the server comes up.

What happens if I want to stop?

Billing is monthly, so you stop by not renewing. Take a MySQL dump and download your resources first and you keep everything that made the city yours. The licence key was always registered to your account, so it leaves with you.
