Scripts and streamed assets such as horses, clothing and map edits decide most of the load, more than the slot count. | Feature | **Small RP** Up to 32 slots | Recommended **Standard** Up to 48 slots | **Large** Up to 128 slots (paid tier) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Memory (RAM)Working memory for the world, the players and every mod.

It deploys the RedM Basic Server or the VORP Core recipe and needs a linked Cfx.re account. ### VORP Core A complete roleplay recipe with jobs such as sheriff, medic and hunter, inventory, character creator, economy, housing and stables. ### RSG Core A framework for players, characters, money, jobs, gangs and permissions, built on oxmysql and ox\_lib. ### Your own resources Write resources in Lua, JavaScript or C#, each with its fxmanifest.lua, and start them with ensure in server.cfg. ### OneSync Cfx.re’s sync layer on top of the game’s network code. A default server runs 48 slots with OneSync Infinity. ### Database Frameworks keep characters, money and items in a MySQL or MariaDB database through oxmysql. ## Set up your RedM server Four steps from server key to the first riders in town. 1. ### Get a server key Create a free key for your server in the Cfx.re portal. 2. ### Choose slots and location Use the table above for the size, and pick the closest of our 20 game server locations. 3. ### Deploy a recipe In txAdmin, link your Cfx.re account and deploy RedM Basic Server or VORP Core; on a plain server, set gamename rdr3 and your resources in server.cfg. 4. ### Open the frontier Players start RedM and find your server in the server list, or connect with its address. ## Other game servers you might like [See every game](https://hyperdc.com/game-server-hosting) [See all roleplay servers](https://hyperdc.com/game-servers/roleplay-game-servers) ### GTA V (FiveM) Roleplay and freeroam communities on FiveM with txAdmin.

RedM is the multiplayer modification for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC from Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM, which became part of Rockstar Games in 2023. It lets communities run their own dedicated servers with custom scripts. ### Do I need a key for a RedM server? Yes. Every server needs a free key from the Cfx.re portal, set as sv\_licenseKey in server.cfg or entered in txAdmin. ### How many slots can a RedM server have? A server supports up to 48 players with OneSync Infinity by default. Cfx.re’s paid Element Club tiers raise this: Argentum to 64, Aurum to 128 with OneSync Infinity and Platinum up to 1024. ### How does the server know it runs RedM? RedM uses the same FXServer as FiveM. The line set gamename rdr3 in server.cfg switches it to Red Dead Redemption 2; the RedM recipes in txAdmin set it for you. ### Which ports does RedM use? 30120 on TCP and UDP for the game, and 40120 for the txAdmin web panel. Protect txAdmin with a strong password. ### txAdmin or a plain server? txAdmin gives you a web panel to deploy recipes, watch players, restart on a schedule and read logs. A plain server is managed through server.cfg and the console, which suits owners who keep their setup in files. ### Which framework should I choose? VORP Core and RSG Core are the two common RedM roleplay frameworks. VORP has a ready txAdmin recipe; RSG Core builds on oxmysql and ox\_lib. Pick the one your scripts are written for. ### Do I need a database? For a roleplay framework, yes: VORP and RSG store characters, money and items in MySQL or MariaDB through oxmysql. A freeroam server without a framework can run without one. ### What do players need to join? A PC copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the RedM client from redm.net. They find your server in the RedM server list or connect with its address. ### Does the RedM server run on Linux? Yes. Cfx.re builds the server for Windows and Linux on x86-64 and recommends a multi-core CPU with good upstream bandwidth. ## Ready to open your frontier town? Tell us your slot count, framework and scripts, and we will help you pick the right RedM server. See plans [Contact sales](https://hyperdc.com/contact-us) --- Source: \ Updated: 2026-10-09
