RedM Server Hosting

RedM is a multiplayer modification framework for Red Dead Redemption 2, developed by the Cfx.re team — the same organisation behind FiveM for Grand Theft Auto V. First released in December 2019 following RDR2's arrival on PC, RedM lets players create and join custom dedicated servers that operate entirely outside of Rockstar's Red Dead Online infrastructure.

Where Red Dead Online is Rockstar's controlled multiplayer environment with limited customisation and a monetisation-driven grind, RedM opens the doors to entirely player-designed worlds. Server owners can install custom frameworks, economy systems, job scripts, property mechanics, horse breeding systems, and more — effectively building a completely new Wild West experience on top of RDR2's extraordinary world.

Why Did RedM Take Off?

Rockstar largely abandoned active content development for Red Dead Online in 2021, frustrating a large and passionate community. RedM filled that gap, giving players the tools to build the Wild West communities they always wanted. Today, thousands of players are active across RedM servers at any given time, primarily in deep roleplay communities where every player has a character, a story, and a place in a living Wild West world.

• Roleplay servers: The dominant use case. Players run RP communities with jobs, economies, and character-driven stories.
• Economy servers: Player-driven markets, trading, mining, ranching, and business ownership.
• Equestrian servers: Horse breeding, training, rodeos, and ranch management.
• Gang/bandit servers: Territory control, heists, bounty hunting, and outlaw life.

RedM servers are built on top of a framework — a foundational codebase that handles core server functionality like player data, inventories, jobs, and economy. Choosing the right framework is the most important decision a RedM server owner makes.

The Main RedM Frameworks

• VORP Core: The most widely used RedM framework, launched in June 2020. Written initially in C# and migrated to Lua, VORP has the largest ecosystem of free and paid scripts available. Most community resources are VORP-compatible first.
• RSG Core: Created in early 2023 as a port of FiveM's popular QBCore framework, adapted for RedM. It's rapidly growing, well-documented, open source, and developer-friendly — especially attractive for anyone coming from a FiveM background.
• RedEM:RP: One of the earliest RedM frameworks and considered the "OG" option. Still supported by a community and has a large library of legacy scripts written for it.
• QBCore RedM: An adaptation of FiveM's QBCore for RDR2. Created in 2021 but saw limited continued development, so fewer active resources are available compared to VORP and RSG.
• RPX Framework: A newer, performance-focused framework using modern Cfx.re state bag architecture. Technically impressive with growing documentation, aimed at serious developers.

Our RedM servers support all of these frameworks. You have full SFTP and file manager access to install whichever framework suits your community, alongside MySQL/MariaDB for all the database functionality your scripts need.

RedM is not a casual game server — it's a serious, always-on, database-driven environment that demands more from its hosting than most games. Economy scripts query your MySQL database constantly. Large player counts stress your CPU with heavy Lua workloads. Proximity voice chat systems like SaltyChat make low latency a non-negotiable for immersion.

What Makes EUGameHost Different for RedM

• UK & EU location: Our London server location is ideal for the large European RedM community, delivering the low latency that serious RP demands.
• txAdmin included: The industry-standard RedM management panel is pre-installed on every plan. Deploy framework recipes, moderate players, and manage your server without touching a command line.
• MySQL included: Every framework needs a database. MySQL/MariaDB is included and optimised for RedM's workload.
• DDoS protection: RP communities attract attention. Our always-on protection keeps your server online through targeted attacks.
• Real support: Our team knows what RedM is. When you open a ticket about VORP or OneSync, you get a real answer — not a generic response.
• Instant setup: Your RedM server is live in 60 seconds. Deploy a txAdmin recipe and be in-game within minutes.

Red Dead Redemption was first released in 2010 by Rockstar San Diego for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Set in a fictionalised American frontier in 1911, players controlled John Marston — a former outlaw forced to hunt down his old gang. The game was universally acclaimed for its storytelling, open world, and atmosphere, and remains one of the most celebrated games ever made.

Red Dead Redemption 2, the prequel, arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018 before launching on PC in November 2019. Playing as Arthur Morgan in 1899, RDR2 set a new benchmark for open-world storytelling and environmental detail. Its PC release was critical — it's what made modding possible, and with it, the birth of RedM.

RedM launched in December 2019, just weeks after RDR2 came to PC. Built on the same Cfx.re technology stack as FiveM — which had been in development since 2014 — RedM gave the community the tools to build their own multiplayer worlds in RDR2's extraordinary setting.

When Rockstar effectively ceased active content development for Red Dead Online in 2021, the community that had been building around RedM accelerated significantly. Today RedM hosts thousands of concurrent players across hundreds of custom servers, the majority of which are dedicated roleplay communities with their own economies, politics, and stories — all set in the Wild West.
