Why TheCrewHost for RedM?
The file access, hardware and protection a western roleplay server needs to stay up and smooth.
server.cfg and resources Access
Edit sv_licenseKey, sv_maxclients, sv_enforceGameBuild and your ensure lines in the file manager, and push new scripts into their own subfolders under resources over SFTP.
Works with VORP and RSG
The Lua-based vorp_core and the QBCore-derived RSG Core both connect to a MySQL or MariaDB database through oxmysql. Framework resources go into their folders under resources.
CPU Built for Script Load
Most FXServer script work runs on the main thread, so one heavy loop affects everyone. The Ryzen 9 9950X's strong single-core performance shows when your resource list gets long.
NVMe Storage and Automatic Backups
A resources folder swollen with maps, models and audio loads quickly from NVMe. Server files are backed up automatically, and you can take manual backups before big updates.
DDoS Protection for Launch Night
Roleplay servers that climb the list can become targets. Free network-level protection filters malicious traffic and helps keep the server up at critical moments like launch night.

RedM server hosting at TheCrewHost starts at $8.63 per month (₺345.00), with 6 GB to 32 GB of RAM for running Cfx.re's FXServer-based RedM server for Red Dead Redemption 2. You install a roleplay framework such as VORP or RSG and manage server.cfg and the resources folder through the panel file manager or SFTP. To boot, the server needs a free license key generated at portal.cfx.re. Hosting in İstanbul keeps latency low for players in Türkiye and solid across Europe and the Middle East, and the Ryzen 9 9950X's single-core speed gives Lua scripts, most of which run on the main thread, plenty of room.
What can you build on a RedM server?
RedM is the multiplayer modification for the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2, built by the Cfx.re team. It runs on the same FXServer platform as FiveM, and the Cfx.re team joined Rockstar Games in 2023. On the server side, the set gamename rdr3 line in server.cfg is what points that shared server software at RDR2.
Western roleplay is by far the most common use: a sheriff's office and outlaws, ranching and livestock, mining and hunting, saloon and general-store economies, stagecoaches and horse trading. These systems usually run as dozens of resources layered on top of a framework. You can also skip the framework entirely and run a lightweight freeroam or event server.
One thing to watch: scripts written for FiveM do not work on RedM as-is, because the two games expose different natives. RedM resources declare game 'rdr3' in their fxmanifest.lua, along with the RedM-specific rdr3_warning acknowledgement line. Before you buy or download a script, confirm it was written for RedM; adapting a FiveM version usually amounts to a substantial rewrite rather than a quick port.
VORP or RSG: which framework should you choose?
The two major roleplay frameworks on RedM are VORP and RSG, and both are open source. VORP Core is written in Lua, has been developed for a long time and comes with a broad family of vorp_ resources: inventory, characters, metabolism, menus and admin tools each ship as separate resources. It requires oxmysql, and vorp_core should sit near the top of your load order.
RSG Core is a RedM framework derived from QBCore and built on the ox_lib library. A team that has worked with QBCore on FiveM will find its structure familiar right away. RSG also has an official txAdmin recipe that makes installing the core resources in one go much easier.
The choice mostly comes down to your team's background and the scripts you want, because resources written for one framework do not run on the other without changes. Before you start, check which framework the job, inventory and economy scripts you need actually support. Switching frameworks later means migrating player data and resources, which is expensive, so settle the decision before launch.
What belongs in server.cfg, and where do you get a license key?
A RedM server will not start without a license key, which you generate at portal.cfx.re and place on the sv_licenseKey line in server.cfg. If the key is missing or invalid, the server refuses to boot and the console tells you so.
The core lines are: set gamename rdr3 to run the server for RDR2; endpoint_add_tcp and endpoint_add_udp to set the listening address and port (30120 by default); sv_hostname for the name shown in the server list; and sv_maxclients for the slot count. Some scripts need a specific game build, and a line such as sv_enforceGameBuild 1491 pins it; that value is only read at startup.
Cfx.re rules govern player counts: slot values above 32 require OneSync to be enabled. According to Cfx.re's documentation, OneSync is free up to 48 slots, and going beyond that requires one of the paid tiers on the Cfx.re Portal. Frameworks that use a database read the connection details through oxmysql from the set mysql_connection_string line. Order your ensure lines carefully: oxmysql first, then the framework core, then everything else.
How much RAM does a RedM server need?
Silver, with 6 GB of RAM, is a realistic starting point for a small western roleplay server running a framework and a mid-sized script set for up to 32 players. The resources you load matter more than player count: every extra script, map edit, custom model and sound file adds to server memory and to each player's first-join download.
For a busy server with OneSync enabled and 32 to 48 slots filled, Gold or Platinum leaves more comfortable headroom. Because slots beyond 48 require a paid Cfx.re tier, Diamond and above make sense for crowded, resource-heavy projects that have already taken that step.
On the CPU side, the bottleneck is usually a badly written script. A loop that walks every player on every tick, or a resource that hammers the database, will slow the server no matter how big the plan is. If the console shows hitch warnings, run profiler record 500 in the server console to capture a profile and see which resource is eating the time. The resources folder also grows over time, and pruning unused resources shortens load times as well.
How do administration, backups and updates work?
Day-to-day administration of a RedM server comes down to three things: permissions, the database and the server version. In VORP, you add admins by following the examples in server.cfg and in vorp_perms.cfg inside vorp_admin, and by setting the group column to admin for that player in the users and characters tables. RSG handles permissions through its own framework permission setup.
The database is the most important thing to back up, because characters, inventories, money and property all live there. Your server files are backed up automatically, but if the database is on a separate server you need to dump it regularly yourself. Before a major framework update, back up both files and database so you can always roll back.
When updating FXServer artifacts, the build Cfx.re marks as recommended is the safer pick, since the very latest build is not always tested against the frameworks. txAdmin is the web panel bundled with FXServer, used for scheduled restarts and recipe deployment. Ask our support team whether txAdmin can be used on your TheCrewHost server and whether it needs an extra port.
How to Set Up a RedM Server
- 1
Generate a license key at portal.cfx.re
Sign in to portal.cfx.re with your Cfx.re account and create a free license key for your server. A RedM server will not start without one.
- 2
Pick a plan that fits your framework
Choose Silver for a small VORP or RSG server, or Gold or Platinum if you are targeting 32 to 48 slots. Installation starts automatically after payment.
- 3
Add your key and core settings to server.cfg
Fill in sv_licenseKey, sv_hostname and sv_maxclients, and make sure set gamename rdr3 is present. Enable OneSync if you want more than 32 slots.
- 4
Prepare the database and wire up oxmysql
Import your framework's SQL files into a MySQL or MariaDB database and put the connection string on the set mysql_connection_string line. A TheCrewHost VDS can host the database.
- 5
Upload the framework and scripts, then start
Copy resources into the resources folder over SFTP, add ensure lines in the order oxmysql, framework core, other scripts, then start the server from the panel.
- 6
Call your players into town
Players open the RedM client and find your server in the list, or open the F8 console and type connect followed by the IP:port from your panel.
