Compare FiveM server hosting (prices checked November 2026)

Updated 4 November 2026

When you look for FiveM server hosting you see two kinds of prices: hosts that charge per slot count and hosts that charge per amount of memory (RAM). Below are the prices of ServerSpark, 4Netplayers and ZAP-Hosting side by side, as they were on each provider's own website on 3 November 2026. In short: at ServerSpark FiveM starts at €1.89 per month paid quarterly (€2.19 monthly), VAT included. Prices change often, so check them yourself before you order.

The prices side by side

Sources: the price pages of 4Netplayers and ZAP-Hosting, checked on 3 November 2026, standard monthly price without discount codes. 4Netplayers lists no RAM per plan and doesn't say whether VAT is included. ZAP-Hosting shows dollars and says the VAT of the EU country is included; we converted at about €0.86 per dollar. Shockbyte blocked our check, so it is not listed. ServerSpark prices include 21% VAT.

Slots or RAM: how do you compare them?

On FiveM, it isn't your host that decides how many players can join, but your licence key from Cfx.re. With the free key and OneSync that is up to 48. For more slots you need an Element Club subscription from Cfx.re. A host that charges per slot is really charging for machine capacity. At ServerSpark you pick the memory; you set the slot count yourself, up to your key's limit. More: slots, OneSync and Element Club.

In practice your scripts and assets decide how much memory you need, not the slot count: 2 GB for a small server with a few standard scripts, 4 GB for QBCore, Qbox or ESX, and 8 GB for a big roleplay city with many add-on cars and MLOs.

What to look at besides price

• txAdmin. Included with us and at most FiveM hosts. You use it to install a framework recipe and schedule restarts.
• Database. QBCore and ESX need MySQL. At ServerSpark every FiveM plan includes one MySQL database.
• Backups. We make an encrypted backup every night at another location. Ask any host how often and where.
• VAT and term. Check whether the price includes VAT and whether it applies to monthly billing or only to a longer term. A first-month discount says little about the price after that.
• Location. Our FiveM servers run in Germany (Falkenstein) or Finland (Helsinki); you choose at checkout.

When another host fits better

• You want one price per player count without thinking about memory: 4Netplayers prices per slot.
• You want to pay once instead of monthly: ZAP-Hosting has a lifetime option.
• You also run a website or several servers next to FiveM: a VPS fits better.
