FiveM roleplay servers need low latency for immersive gameplay. Driving, shooting and voice chat all suffer when latency climbs above 80 ms. For communities in Southeast Asia, a server in Singapore keeps the experience smooth.
Why Singapore for FiveM?
FiveM is popular across Southeast Asia, especially for roleplay communities in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. A server in Singapore gives these players under 50 ms latency instead of the 180-250 ms they would get from a European host.
Expected latency:
- Singapore: under 5 ms
- Malaysia: 10-20 ms
- Philippines: 30-50 ms
- Indonesia: 20-35 ms
- Thailand: 30-45 ms
Framework choice
The three main FiveM frameworks all work on our Singapore servers:
- QBCore: the most popular framework, well-documented and actively maintained
- ESX Legacy: mature framework with a large script ecosystem
- QBox: newer fork of QBCore with performance improvements and modern Lua practices
For a new server starting in 2026, QBCore or QBox is the recommended choice. ESX Legacy still works well if your scripts and community are built around it.
Performance requirements
FiveM server resource usage depends on the number of scripts and players:
- Light RP, 16-32 slots: 4 GB RAM
- Medium RP with custom scripts, 32-64 slots: 4-6 GB RAM
- Heavy RP with MLOs, custom vehicles, EUP, 64-128 slots: 6-8 GB RAM
FiveM is more CPU-sensitive than RAM-heavy. Our AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors handle even script-heavy servers well.

- Choose a FiveM hosting plan
- Select Singapore as your location during checkout
- Install your framework (QBCore, ESX or QBox) through the panel or SFTP
