# FiveM Server Hosting - Getting Started Guide

> Everything you need to know about FiveM server hosting at Wasabi Hosting - roleplay frameworks, txAdmin, resources, and instant GTA V server setup.

Welcome to FiveM server hosting at Wasabi Hosting! FiveM is the [Cfx.re](https://cfx.re) multiplayer platform for Grand Theft Auto V that lets you run fully customized dedicated servers — roleplay cities, freeroam lobbies, racing communities, and everything in between. This page explains how FiveM works and points you to the right guide for each step of building your server.

## What Is FiveM?

FiveM runs alongside your normal GTA V installation as a separate multiplayer client. It connects players to community-run servers instead of Rockstar's official ones, which means:

* **It does not modify GTA: Online.** FiveM keeps its own game files and does not touch your GTA:O characters, progress, or account standing.
* **Servers are fully scriptable.** Server owners add custom jobs, vehicles, maps, economy systems, and game modes through Lua, JavaScript, and C# resources.
* **Players need a legal copy of GTA V** (Steam, Rockstar Games Launcher, or Epic Games Store) plus the free FiveM client from [https://fivem.net](https://fivem.net).

<Info>
  Every FiveM server requires a free **Cfx.re license key** from the [Keymaster](https://keymaster.fivem.net). You'll generate one during setup — see the [txAdmin Setup](/games/fivem/txadmin-setup) and [server.cfg](/games/fivem/server-cfg) guides.

## Frameworks: ESX, QBCore & Qbox

Most roleplay servers are built on a **framework** — a bundle of core resources that provides jobs, money, inventories, and character management out of the box:

| Framework      | Best For                                                                   |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **ESX**        | The longest-running RP framework with a huge library of compatible scripts |
| **QBCore**     | Modern, popular framework with an active community and many free resources |
| **Qbox**       | A community-driven fork of QBCore focused on performance and code quality  |
| **Standalone** | Freeroam, racing, or minigame servers that don't need an RP framework      |

You don't have to assemble a framework by hand — txAdmin's setup wizard can deploy a ready-to-play ESX or QBCore base in a few clicks.

## txAdmin: Your Management Dashboard

Every FXServer ships with **txAdmin**, a web-based control panel for your FiveM server. It handles server deployment, live console access, player management, bans, restart schedules, and announcements. It works hand-in-hand with the [Wasabi Hosting Game Panel](https://panel.wasabihosting.com), which covers files, backups, and scheduling at the hosting level.

## Why Host FiveM at Wasabi Hosting?

FiveM's main server thread is heavily dependent on **single-core CPU performance** — a busy roleplay server with hundreds of resources will lag on weak, oversold hardware no matter how much RAM it has. Wasabi Hosting is built for exactly this workload:

* **Top-tier CPUs** — AMD Ryzen 7950X3D and 9950X processors with DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs, among the fastest single-thread performance available for game hosting.
* **DDoS protection included** — GCore protection with over 200 Tbps of filtering capacity at no extra cost, essential for public FiveM communities.
* **Three locations** — Amsterdam (NL), Frankfurt (DE), and Ashburn (US East), on our own network (AS215370) and our own hardware.
* **Instant setup** — your server deploys automatically about 2 minutes after payment.
* **Full control** — live console, File Manager, [backups](/server/backups), schedules, startup parameters, [sub-users](/server/sub-users), and SFTP access via the Game Panel.
* **Painless upgrades** — grow your city and upgrade at any time while keeping all your files.
