Getting Started with a FiveM Server

Hoststack FiveM servers come with the game panel pre-installed and ready to boot — you don't need to compile the server build yourself. Here's how to get your first FiveM roleplay or freeroam server running.

Accessing your server

• Log in to client.hoststack.pro and open your game server service
• Click "Login to Game Panel" to reach your server's control panel, file manager and console
• Your server IP and default query/game ports are listed on the panel's overview tab

Setting up your gamemode

• Choose a base framework — ESX or QBCore are the most common starting points for roleplay servers
• Upload your resources into the /resources folder using the panel's File Manager or SFTP
• Add ensure yourresourcename to server.cfg for every resource you want loaded at startup
• Get a free CFX license key from keymaster.fivem.net and paste it into server.cfg as sv_licenseKey

Using txAdmin

txAdmin is FiveM's built-in web-based admin panel, pre-enabled on Hoststack FiveM servers. It gives you a browser dashboard for server restarts, resource monitoring, player bans and live console access — reachable from a link in your game panel, separate from the low-level file manager.

Starting the server and connecting

• Hit Start in the game panel and watch the console for "server started" or any resource errors
• Players connect via F8 console → connect <your-ip>:<port> in the FiveM client, or by adding your server to their favorites list
• List your server publicly by keeping sv_master1 uncommented in server.cfg
