GTA V FiveM · 26 hosts ranked

Best FiveM Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)

A roleplay server lives or dies on main-thread CPU, a healthy database and txAdmin, not on a headline RAM number. We compared 26 hosts that sell FiveM today on price, memory, UK and EU locations, backups and refund terms, so your community can pick one that will cope once the scripts pile up.

Quick verdict: Indifferent Broccoli is our #1, with uncapped RAM, a two-day free trial and a seven-day refund, from £4.50/mo ($5.99) for one player. Sparked Host is the budget London pick from £3.59/mo ($4.78), and Shockbyte is the simple managed option with txAdmin included.

Methodology

How we compared FiveM server hosts

We compared each host’s live FiveM product on what matters for a roleplay community: CPU and memory for a growing resource list, a London or nearby EU location, txAdmin and database access, backups and price. Prices come from each host’s public plan page, converted at £1 = $1.33. Our full process is on the how we compare game server hosts page.

Reviews

The 26 best FiveM server hosts, reviewed

Each review covers the plan that suits a small roleplay community, what it costs and the one thing that decides whether it suits your server.

1

Indifferent Broccoli

Best for growing RP
£12.02/mo ($15.99)8 players · uncapped RAM
4.7 Trustpilot (1,368 reviews)
Price£4.50/mo ($5.99) (1 player)
RAMUncapped
Slots1–48 players
LocationsFrankfurt · Roubaix · Amsterdam
BackupsBackups
Refund / trial2-day free trial · 7-day refund

Indifferent Broccoli takes first place because its FiveM plans suit the way a roleplay server grows. Plans are priced by player count rather than by a RAM ceiling, from £4.50/mo ($5.99) for a single player up to £22.55/mo ($29.99) for 48 players. The eight-player tier we compared costs £12.02/mo ($15.99).

That matters once a fresh QBCore or ESX build starts collecting inventories, phones, jobs, housing, custom vehicles, clothing packs and MLOs. With uncapped RAM, a growing resource list is not another thing to keep resizing.

You can run the server for two days on the free trial, install your real framework and invite your staff before paying, and there is a seven-day refund after purchase. Locations are Frankfurt, Roubaix and Amsterdam, which are close enough to the UK for comfortable play on good routes.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Indifferent Broccoli review.

Pros
  • Uncapped RAM on every plan
  • Two-day free trial
  • Seven-day refund
  • Plans from 1 to 48 players
  • Full file access
Cons
  • No London location
  • Player-based tiers rise quickly past 16 players

Sparked Host sells FiveM by memory, from £3.59/mo ($4.78) a month for 2GB and about £1.80 ($2.39) per GB of DDR5 as you scale up. London is one of seven locations, so a UK community gets a short route without paying a premium.

Daily backups are included. The refund window is two days, so set your framework up early if you want to try it properly before committing.

Pros
  • London location
  • Low entry price
  • DDR5 memory
  • Daily backups
Cons
  • Short two-day refund window

FiveM in 2026

FiveM for GTAV Enhanced is in Early Access

FiveM for GTAV Enhanced entered Early Access on 21 July 2026. Legacy GTA V carries on alongside it, while Enhanced uses a separate client and an updated Cfx server stack with a redesigned connection handshake, new server-side monitoring, a modern .NET runtime for C# and a rebuilt voice system.

Existing Lua, JavaScript and C# resources are meant to stay compatible, but paid scripts, vehicles and MLOs still need testing, and older 3D assets may need converting with Cfx’s Alchemist tool. Clone your live server and test the whole stack before moving a mature community.

  • 15 October 2026: players can no longer join FXServer builds older than 35245. The client now always runs the latest GTA V executable and loads the content your server asks for via sv_enforceGameBuild, so sv_replaceExeToSwitchBuilds can come out of your config.
  • 21 October 2026: your server’s name, description, tags, language, banner and Discord link are managed in the Cfx Portal rather than server.cfg. You get up to five tags, and a server with nothing filled in shows “Missing server data” in the list.
Hosts not listed

Why some familiar hosts are not in the table

We list only hosts that sell FiveM today. LOW.MS’s FiveM page says the product is coming soon, with pricing announced at launch, and ScalaCube’s FiveM page is also marked Coming Soon. Host Havoc, GGServers, BisectHosting, Apex Hosting and DatHost do not currently list FiveM among their games, and AleForge has FiveM help articles but no FiveM product. We will add them when they launch FiveM servers.

Cfx-listed hosts

What FiveM’s own hosting list tells you

FiveM’s server hosting page currently lists GPORTAL, Shockbyte, Nitrado, Nodecraft, xREALM and ZAP-Hosting. The list relates to Cfx’s commercial rules for businesses that sell preconfigured FiveM servers, and it can change, so check the current version before signing a long contract.

The server software is the same Cfx stack wherever you host it. What changes between hosts is the CPU, how busy each machine is, memory, network and DDoS filtering, storage, location, database setup, panel tools, backups and support.

Keys and slots

Cfx Portal keys, Element Club and slot limits

Server registration keys are free and come from the Cfx Portal; add yours to server.cfg with sv_licenseKey. Older guides that send you to Keymaster or Patreon are out of date. The default allowance is 48 players with OneSync, and Element Club raises it. Hosting and Element Club are separate bills.

TierPricePlayer limit
DefaultFreeUp to 48 with OneSync
Argentum£11.28/mo ($15.00) + VATUp to 64 with OneSync
Aurum£18.80/mo ($25.00) + VAT64, or 128 with OneSync Infinity
Platinum£37.59/mo ($50.00) + VAT128, or up to 2,048 with OneSync Infinity
Frameworks

ESX, QBCore, Qbox or vMenu?

Your framework sets the player data model, the economy and much of the script ecosystem, and changing it after launch can mean database migrations, so decide early.

ESX LegacyYears of jobs, inventories, housing and banking scripts behind it. Strong when compatibility with existing ESX resources matters.
QBCoreOne of the most popular bases for new RP servers, with a large modern script ecosystem.
QboxA newer, modern route worth considering for a fresh build in 2026.
vMenuNot an economy framework. Suits freeroam, racing and private servers that want admin and vehicle tools.
txAdmin

txAdmin is the management layer every owner should know

txAdmin is Cfx’s browser-based admin panel for FiveM, and it ships with the server. It is separate from your host’s panel: the host panel manages files, billing and the machine, while txAdmin runs the FiveM process and its players.

Console and resourcesStart, restart and watch the server, run commands and manage resources.
PlayersWarnings, kicks, bans, whitelists and staff permissions.
RecipesDeploy a framework such as ESX or QBCore from a recipe instead of building it by hand.
Scheduled restartsRestart on a timetable with in-game warnings for players.
Hardware

FiveM hardware by community size

FiveM leans on the server thread and script ticks, so a modern high-clock CPU matters as much as memory. Treat these as practical allowances, not official minimums.

Server typePlayersRAMDatabase
Testing or small privateUnder 204GB+Local MariaDB is fine
Standard RP20–488GB+MariaDB or MySQL on NVMe
Large RP community48–12812–16GB+Consider dedicated database resources
Heavy MLO and vehicle stack32–64+16GB+NVMe-backed database
100+ concurrent100–256+32GB+Dedicated database

More RAM will not fix bad Lua loops or needless database calls, so profile your resources before upgrading. Our game server hardware requirements guide explains what CPU, RAM and storage each do.

server.cfg and ports

A sensible server.cfg starting point and the ports FiveM uses

Start from the server.cfg your current build or txAdmin recipe creates rather than an old tutorial. The core lines are the TCP and UDP endpoints on 0.0.0.0:30120, sv_licenseKey with your Portal key, sv_maxclients (48 by default), set onesync on, ensure oxmysql and then your framework and resources, with libraries such as ox_lib loaded before the resources that need them. Server name, description and tags now live in the Cfx Portal.

  • 30120 TCP and UDP: the game endpoint. Managed hosts set this up; on a VPS you open it in both firewalls.
  • 40120 TCP: the usual txAdmin web port. Lock admin access down.
  • 3306 TCP: the usual MariaDB or MySQL port. Never leave a production database open to the internet.
Stability

DDoS protection, your database and backups

DDoS mitigationPublic RP servers are targets, so look for filtering that stops attack traffic before it reaches the server.
Database backupsCharacters, money, inventories, vehicles and properties live in MariaDB or MySQL. Backing up the resource folder alone is not enough.
NVMe storageHelps the database and file operations as custom vehicles, clothing and MLOs pile up.
Current artifactsKeep FXServer up to date; builds older than 35245 can no longer accept players.
Monetisation

FiveM monetisation goes through Tebex

Cfx names Tebex as its exclusive authorised monetisation partner for FiveM and RedM, and using another payment platform breaks the Platform License Agreement. Your store still has to follow the current Cfx and Tebex rules. Keep the three costs separate: hosting pays for the machine, Element Club changes your slot limits and Tebex is the store.

UK servers

British servers for FiveM

8 of the 26 hosts show a London or UK location for FiveM:

HostUK locationPrice we compared
Sparked Host✓ London£3.59/mo ($4.78)
GTX Gaming✓ London£25.00/mo ($33.25)
Gaming Deluxe✓ London£25.00/mo ($33.25)

FREAKHOSTING✓ London£3.33/mo ($4.43)
Citadel Servers✓ LondonSee checkout
VeryGames✓ UK£15.41/mo ($20.49)

For players in Britain, a London server usually means a shorter route, so driving, firefights and voice chat feel snappier and more consistent.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting vs renting a FiveM server

The FXServer software is free, so experienced admins can run FiveM on their own Windows or Linux machine. A VPS is a different product from managed FiveM hosting, though.

Self-hostRented server
CostFree software; you pay for the machineFrom £3.01/mo ($4.00)
SetupFXServer, txAdmin, MariaDB and firewall yourselfInstalled for you, often with recipes
PortsOpen 30120 TCP/UDP and secure 40120Handled by the host
BackupsYour job, including the databaseIncluded in most panels
UpdatesManual artifact updatesUsually one click or automatic

A managed host installs FXServer and txAdmin, handles networking and supplies a panel. Hostinger can provide a UK VPS with root access, but you set up FXServer, txAdmin, the database, firewall rules, restarts and backups yourself. Our self-hosting guide, VPS hosting explainer and server security guide cover the trade-offs.

FAQ

FiveM server hosting FAQ

What is the best FiveM server host in the UK?

Indifferent Broccoli is our #1, with uncapped RAM, a two-day free trial and a seven-day refund. Sparked Host is the budget London pick. Our Indifferent Broccoli review covers it in depth.

Does LOW.MS sell FiveM servers?

Not yet. LOW.MS’s FiveM page says the product is coming soon, with pricing announced at launch, so it is not in this comparison.

Is a host on FiveM’s hosting list better?

The list relates to Cfx’s commercial rules, not hardware. It currently names GPORTAL, Shockbyte, Nitrado, Nodecraft, xREALM and ZAP-Hosting. Compare CPU, memory, location, backups and support whichever host you choose.

Do I need to own GTA V to use FiveM?

Players need a legitimate copy of GTA V. The server runs the Cfx server software and does not need the full game installed.

How many players can a FiveM server have without Element Club?

Up to 48 with OneSync. Element Club raises the limit, up to 2,048 with Platinum and OneSync Infinity.

Where do I get a FiveM server key?

From the Cfx Portal. The key is free; add it to server.cfg with sv_licenseKey. Keymaster and Patreon guides are out of date.

Is FiveM for GTAV Enhanced available now?

Yes. It entered Early Access on 21 July 2026. Test your full resource stack before moving a live community from Legacy.

Will ESX and QBCore scripts work on FiveM Enhanced?

Cfx built Enhanced to stay compatible with existing Lua, JavaScript and C# resources, but test third-party scripts and assets first. Older 3D assets may need converting with Alchemist.

What is txAdmin?

txAdmin is the browser-based admin panel that ships with FiveM. It handles the console, players, bans, recipes and scheduled restarts.

How much RAM does a FiveM server need?

About 4GB for testing, 8GB for a typical 20 to 48-player RP server and 12 to 16GB or more for large or heavily modded communities. CPU and script quality matter just as much.

What ports does FiveM use?

The game endpoint uses 30120 TCP and UDP, txAdmin usually uses 40120 TCP and MySQL usually uses 3306, which should never be open to the internet.

How can I monetise a FiveM server?

Through Tebex, Cfx’s exclusive authorised monetisation partner. Your store must follow the Cfx Platform License Agreement and Tebex’s policies.

What is the cheapest FiveM server hosting in the UK?

Fly-Serv has the lowest entry price at £1.66/mo ($2.21), followed by Godlike at £2.99/mo ($3.98) and Spill Hosting at £3.01/mo ($4.00). Sparked Host is the cheapest London option at £3.59/mo ($4.78). Small plans suit testing more than a busy RP server; see our cheap game server hosting guide.
