Game servers
RP server overview
An RP server runs a FiveM roleplay server for you, with txAdmin to manage it. You look after it from its page in the Portal: the address players connect to, the console, the files, its settings, backups, schedules and your logins are all there.
What you get #
| One server | Each plan runs one server, with its own address and game port |
| Players | Up to your plan's figure, shown on the Overview |
| Memory | Your plan's figure |
| Storage | Your plan's figure, for the server's files. Backups do not count against it |
| Processor | Your plan's cores, shown on the Overview |
| txAdmin | FiveM's own web panel, on an address of its own. You make its admin account on first start |
| SFTP | A login for WinSCP, FileZilla or any SFTP app, for uploading files of any size |
| Database | One MySQL database, which you can also reach from your own computer |
| Backups | As many as your plan says, with a daily one made for you |
| Schedules | Up to ten: a restart or a backup at a time of day |
Your server's page in the Portal has these tabs: Overview, Console, Files, Variables, Backups, Schedules, Login details, Billing, Activity and Manage.
Getting started #
- Order an RP server plan.
- We set it up and email you when it is ready. Its page then opens in the Portal under Services, with its address and logins under Login details.
- A new server is stopped. Get a license key at portal.cfx.re and paste it under Variables.
- Press Start, then Open txAdmin for 30 minutes, read txAdmin's PIN on the Console tab (the newest one: each restart prints a new PIN and the old one stops working), and set up txAdmin before the 30 minutes are up. If you pick a framework recipe, give it the database details from Login details.
- Connect and play.
Until the game answers, the Overview shows a "Getting started" note with these steps. After that, start and stop the game inside txAdmin.
The Overview #
| What it shows | What it means |
|---|---|
| Connect address | Where players connect, with a Copy button. See Connect to your server |
| Open txAdmin | Opens txAdmin in a new tab. Until txAdmin is set up, the button opens it for 30 minutes first, once the server is running |
| Resources | Your plan's cores, memory and storage |
| Players | How many are on, out of your plan's figure, once the game answers |
Reinstall #
Reinstall on the Manage tab downloads a fresh copy of the server files. Your server.cfg, resources and txAdmin data
are kept, and so are your backups.
What our staff can and cannot see #
If you open a support ticket, our staff can look at your server's console and files with you. They cannot open any
server.cfg (it holds your license key), and they never see your license key, your Steam key, or your SFTP and
database passwords.
If you cancel #
Your server keeps running until the end of the time you have paid for. It is then deleted, with its files, its backups and its database. Take a copy of anything you want to keep before then (see Upload resources and Your database).
