Hello, I currently own a FiveM server and host it on my own pc. This means whenever I shutdown my pc the server shuts down as well. I was wondering with the files and mods I have already installed how I would transfer it over to Zap Hosting and how Hosting works etc.

You can get the "Gameserver" and choose FiveM. You'll access the server with FTP and can manually transfer the resources. Also update the server.cfg with "ensure/start resourceName".

ok thanks so basically like a folder but on another pc that runs 24/7?
lilac fractal
Correct
vernal cypress
alright thanks
lilac fractal
No problem
vernal cypress
and to confirm, I would be able to get this folder to 'FTP'
thats where my server is at with mods and stuff
lilac fractal
Yes, you can upload that
vernal cypress
also for the preinstalled game, does it matter which 1 I chose if I already have the files?
lilac fractal
It indeed matters.
vernal cypress
It indeed matters.
Which one would I need to get, the server up and running with the files I already have?
lilac fractal
Depends on the mod compatibility. I suppose that you had used TxAdmin before?
vernal cypress
I know what TX admin is but hold on
I bought this package and it setup and installed the server for me
So which one should I get?
It came with some mods and stuff
I assume QBCore?
lilac fractal
You mentioned that you hosted a FiveM server on your personal PC. If you have used TxAdmin, go for TxAdmin.

Alright last question how would I actually make it run 24/7?
vernal cypress
Alright, so once I buy the actual server how do I actually set it up and run my server folder on it? Is there any vids or smth?
fringe delta
I believe there’s a vid on the zap YouTube channel and there’s also docs.
lilac fractal
You don't need to setup a gameserver. They're pre-setup
Just upload your files and start it.
vernal cypress
So basically I buy a Txadmin server and I upload my folder where all the mods are in and just start it?
vernal cypress
Alright thanks

And then to add resources, you would connect with e.g FileZilla, go to the resource folder and upload them there. I would highly suggest to not upload your whole resource folder, since it might overwrite the default resources.
vernal cypress
So basically, once I pay I will get a login to TxAdmin. Then I will need to set up Txadmin and then upload my mods and that stuff using FileZilla on the resource folder
Is there a way I could just make my server run 24/7 without doing all that as it just runs perfectly ok now and I already have everything set up. I just want the ability to be able to shut down my pc and the server still being able to run.
lilac fractal
Your server will run in the cloud even if you shut down your pc
