Start your own RedM or FiveM server

The fastest route is an authorized game-server host: pick a plan, paste your Cfx.re license key, and txAdmin walks you through the rest. Your server appears on RPLookout automatically once it's public.

What you need

  1. The game on PC — RDR2 for RedM, GTA V for FiveM — and a free Cfx.re account.
  2. A server license key from the Cfx.re Portal (free). Above 48 slots requires an Element Club subscription.
  3. A host. 10–48 slot plans are usually enough to start; CPU single-thread speed matters more than RAM.
  4. A framework. RedM: VORP or RSG Core are the most common. FiveM: ESX, QBCore or Qbox.
  5. Read the Rockstar Creator Platform License Agreement before you monetize — no real-money gambling, no selling in-game currency, no loot boxes.
