What is FiveM hosting?

FiveM hosting is the infrastructure that runs your GTA V roleplay server 24/7: a Windows or Linux machine running FXServer, txAdmin, MySQL, and your QBCore/ESX/Qbox resources. When players connect to your server, they hit your host's CPU, RAM, storage, and network. Bad FiveM hosting means lag, texture loss, tick skips, and downtime during DDoS attacks. Good FiveM hosting gives you fast single-thread CPU, NVMe storage, low latency to your community, and room to grow slot counts.
