QBCore server hosting for your city.

txAdmin has a Popular Recipes option that installs a ready-made framework for you, and QBCore is one of them. The recipe downloads the framework, creates the database tables and writes your server.cfg, which saves a lot of manual setup.

1. 1Register a free server licence key on the Cfx.re portal and keep it somewhere safe.
2. 2Open the Databases tab for your server in our game panel and create a MySQL database. Note down the host, port, name, username and password.
3. 3Start the server and open the txAdmin address shown in the console. Enter the one-time PIN and link your Cfx.re account.
4. 4Choose Popular Recipes, pick QBCore, then paste in your licence key and database details when asked.
5. 5Let the recipe finish, then start the server from txAdmin and watch the live console as the resources load.

The full walkthrough is in our FiveM setup guide.

QBCore itself is not the heavy part. What uses memory is everything you add on top: jobs, MLOs, vehicle packs, phones, inventories and the scripts that tie them together. Most cities grow quickly once they open, so it pays to leave some headroom.

• 2 GB Starter: fine for building and testing your QBCore setup before you open the doors.
• 4 GB Roleplay: an active server running a full framework and a sensible set of scripts.
• 6 GB City: our recommended size, and the one we'd pick for a busy QBCore city with a good spread of jobs and custom content.
• 8 GB and up: large, established cities with lots of MLOs, custom vehicles and resources.

You can move up a size whenever you need to, so starting smaller and upgrading as your community grows is a perfectly good plan.

QBCore stores almost everything in MySQL: players and their characters, money, jobs, gangs, owned vehicles, houses and inventories. The recipe creates the tables it needs, and many QBCore scripts ship with their own SQL file that you import when you add them.

Because the database holds your whole city, take a backup before big changes such as a framework update or a new inventory system. Your game panel has backups built in, and our team can help if an import goes wrong.

Scripts are generally written for one framework, so look for ones built for QBCore, or for ones that say they support it. Upload each resource into your resources folder with the file manager or SFTP, keeping custom work in its own bracketed folder such as [qb] or [custom] so it's easy to find later.

Add an ensure line for each resource to server.cfg, below the QBCore core resources, import any SQL it came with, then restart from txAdmin and check the console for errors. If you want to keep cheaters out, we also sell FiveGuard anticheat licences.
