    Frequently asked questions

    Is it free to create a FiveM server?

    FiveM and the Cfx.re license key are free. What you pay for is the machine that runs the server, either your own PC or a hosted server that stays online all the time.

    Windows or Linux for a FiveM server?

    Both run FXServer and txAdmin. Windows is easier if you are used to a desktop and RDP; Linux uses fewer resources. Our Windows and Linux installation guides cover each one step by step.

    Which ports must be open?

    Open 30120 over TCP and UDP so players can connect, and 40120 over TCP if you want to reach txAdmin from your browser.

    How long does it take to start a FiveM server?

    On a ready SNG server the steps in this guide take a few minutes: generate the key, upload your files and start the server from txAdmin.
