Top 5 GTA Roleplay Server Hosts in 2026

Use this 2026 ranking to compare FiveM hosts for a GTA roleplay community, from broad support and multiple regions to higher listed RAM. Every host here lists unlimited player slots, but that alone does not tell you how much your server can handle.

How we ranked these FiveM hosts

For GTA roleplay, we first checked that each provider lists FiveM and unlimited player slots. We then weighed the practical details that shape your choice: listed RAM, DDoS protection, server locations, storage, backups, support and trial or refund options. A Netherlands location can matter if your community is nearby, while NVMe storage is a useful spec to compare with standard SSD storage. We rank on listed specs and features rather than lab tests; an unlimited slot label is not a guarantee that any particular setup can support a specific number of active players.

1. GPORTAL by G-Portal

GPORTAL takes the top spot for a roleplay group that values broad support options and a large global location choice. It lists FiveM, unlimited player slots, DDoS protection and 2 GB RAM. Its 12 locations include Germany and the United Kingdom, but not the Netherlands. The provider also lists NVMe SSD storage, MySQL databases, backups and file access, useful features when you need to manage a roleplay server and its resources.

  • Strengths: FiveM support, unlimited slots, DDoS protection, NVMe SSD storage and 24/7 availability.
  • Phone, email, ticket, Discord and forum support are listed, along with a 14-day money-back period.
  • Manual backups, a mod/plugin installer and a modpack installer are available.
  • Limits: The listed RAM is 2 GB, and the Netherlands is not among its server locations.
  • Backups are listed as manual, and there is no free trial or free server.

Choose GPORTAL if you want several ways to contact support and are comfortable choosing a nearby European location outside the Netherlands. Its listed RAM is modest, so check your planned scripts and community needs rather than treating unlimited slots as a capacity promise.

2. Nodecraft

Nodecraft stands out for its Netherlands server location and free trial, making it an appealing way to explore a FiveM setup before committing. It lists unlimited player slots, 2 GB RAM and DDoS protection. You also get MySQL databases, backups, file access and a custom control panel. Its 28 locations give you more choice than the other hosts on this page, including several European options.

  • Strengths: FiveM, unlimited slots, a Netherlands location, DDoS protection and a free trial.
  • Live chat, phone and ticket support are listed; monthly billing and a seven-day money-back period are available.
  • It includes a free subdomain, subusers, scheduled tasks and game switching.
  • Limits: Listed RAM is 2 GB and storage is SSD rather than NVMe SSD.
  • Nodecraft is not listed as available 24/7, and it does not list a dedicated IP.

Nodecraft suits you if you want to try the service and keep the server close to a Netherlands-based community. Its trial is a useful chance to check the control panel and your own configuration, but the 2 GB RAM listing still deserves attention as you plan resources.

3. Shockbyte

Shockbyte is a good fit if a Netherlands location, NVMe SSD storage and 24/7 availability are high on your checklist. It lists FiveM among its popular games, as well as unlimited player slots and DDoS protection. Its 15 locations include the Netherlands, and the provider lists MySQL databases, backups, file access and a custom control panel. The listing also gives a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

  • Strengths: FiveM is listed as a popular game, with unlimited slots, DDoS protection and NVMe SSD storage.
  • It lists a Netherlands server, 24/7 availability, scheduled tasks and mod/plugin installation.
  • Live chat, ticket and Discord support are available; billing can be monthly or for longer terms.
  • Limits: The listed RAM is 1 GB, the lowest amount among these five providers.
  • The money-back period is three days, and no dedicated IP is listed.

Pick Shockbyte if you prioritise local hosting and its listed storage and support features, and have checked that 1 GB RAM is appropriate for your intended setup. A short refund window means it is worth reviewing the configuration and terms before ordering.

4. PingPerfect

PingPerfect lists the highest RAM allocation in this ranking, at 6 GB, alongside FiveM, unlimited player slots and DDoS protection. It has a Netherlands location, NVMe SSD storage and daily backups. The provider also lists 100 GB of storage, a free trial, 24/7 availability and support for 250 games overall. That combination makes it a strong candidate if the listed memory matters more to you than having several support channels.

  • Strengths: 6 GB RAM, unlimited slots, DDoS protection and NVMe SSD storage.
  • A Netherlands server, daily backups, scheduled tasks and a free trial are listed.
  • It supports game switching and lists 20 locations, including several in Europe.
  • Limits: Storage is listed as 100 GB, and support is via ticket only.
  • The money-back period is two days, and no dedicated IP is listed.

PingPerfect suits you if you want the highest listed RAM allocation in this group and prefer daily backups. Consider its ticket-only support and short refund period before choosing it, especially if you expect to need help through live chat or by phone.

5. Server.pro

Server.pro combines 4 GB RAM with a dedicated IP, NVMe SSD storage and a free trial. It lists FiveM, unlimited player slots, DDoS protection and 24/7 availability. Its nine locations include Germany, France and the United Kingdom, but not the Netherlands. Backups are listed as daily, and you can use scheduled tasks, subusers and game switching through its custom control panel.

  • Strengths: 4 GB RAM, unlimited slots, DDoS protection and a dedicated IP.
  • NVMe SSD storage, daily backups, a free trial and 24/7 availability are listed.
  • Ticket and Discord support are available, with a three-day money-back period.
  • Limits: Storage is capped at 40 GB, the smallest stated capacity among the ranked providers.
  • There is no Netherlands server, and the provider lists nine locations.

Choose Server.pro if a dedicated IP and 4 GB RAM are more useful to your setup than a Netherlands location or a larger listed storage allowance. Its trial lets you inspect the service, while the 40 GB storage limit is worth checking against your files and backup plans.

Why two other hosts missed the list

Cubes Hosting lists FiveM, unlimited slots, DDoS protection and a Netherlands server, but its 5 GB storage allowance is a notable limit for a community planning to add resources and retain files. Nitrado lists FiveM, 4 GB RAM, DDoS protection and 24/7 availability, but does not list a player slot count, so we left it out of this unlimited-slot ranking.

How to choose a GTA roleplay host

Start by checking the location closest to the people who will play. A Netherlands community can compare Nodecraft, Shockbyte and PingPerfect, all of which list a Netherlands server. If your players are elsewhere, compare the provider’s listed regions instead; GPORTAL and Nodecraft have particularly broad location counts in this group.

Next, treat RAM and storage as separate checks. PingPerfect lists 6 GB RAM, Server.pro 4 GB, GPORTAL and Nodecraft 2 GB each, and Shockbyte 1 GB. Those figures do not establish how your particular collection of scripts will perform. Check the resources you plan to install and confirm the host’s current plan details before you build around them. Storage matters too: Server.pro lists 40 GB, PingPerfect 100 GB, while GPORTAL and Shockbyte list unlimited storage.

Finally, compare the practical safety nets. Daily backups are listed by PingPerfect and Server.pro, while GPORTAL lists manual backups. Trial availability can help you inspect the panel and setup, but refund periods differ. In 2026, keep your choice tied to what your roleplay community needs: location, listed resources, backup routine and the kind of support you want to contact.

Frequently asked questions

Which GTA roleplay server hosts on this page support FiveM?

All five ranked providers list FiveM: GPORTAL, Nodecraft, Shockbyte, PingPerfect and Server.pro. Our comparison does not show a RageMP or alt:V host, so FiveM is the route covered here. Before signing up, confirm that the specific plan you select still offers the FiveM setup and features you need.

Do unlimited player slots mean my server can support any number of players?

No. Unlimited slots describe the slot allowance listed by these providers, not a guarantee of capacity for any number of active players. The hosts list different RAM allocations, from 1 GB at Shockbyte to 6 GB at PingPerfect. Your scripts, resources and configuration also matter, so check your requirements against the host’s current plan details.

Which ranked hosts list a server in the Netherlands?

Nodecraft, Shockbyte and PingPerfect list a Netherlands server. GPORTAL and Server.pro list European locations, but not the Netherlands. A nearby location can be a sensible starting point for a community based in the Netherlands, though the listed location alone does not establish how your players’ connections will perform.

Which host lists the most RAM for a FiveM server?

PingPerfect lists 6 GB RAM, the highest amount among the five ranked providers. Server.pro lists 4 GB, GPORTAL and Nodecraft list 2 GB each, and Shockbyte lists 1 GB. Treat these as plan specifications to compare, not as a promise of a particular player count or performance level for your specific setup.

Which providers offer a free trial?

Nodecraft, PingPerfect and Server.pro list a free trial or free server. GPORTAL and Shockbyte do not list one. Trial terms can differ from the paid setup, so check what is included and how long you can use it before relying on a trial to assess a roleplay server configuration.
