A good website turns a FiveM roleplay server from a list of IP addresses into a community. A FiveM CMS is a ready-made website and admin panel that talks to your game server, so you do not have to glue together forums, forms and bots yourself. Here is what to look for.
1. Account linking with the game
Players should link their website account to their in-game identity in seconds. For example, FiveB uses a simple /fivelink CODE command in game, so nobody copies identifiers by hand.
2. A real player portal
Characters, stats, kills and deaths, inventory and purchase history, all in one place. This is what gives players a reason to come back to your site, not only the server.
3. Online whitelist
Whitelist applications should be handled on the website, with your own questions, reviewed by staff and applied in game automatically. Because it removes manual work, your staff can focus on roleplay.
4. Tebex store with in-game delivery
Cfx.re requires FiveM server monetization to go through Tebex. Look for a CMS that integrates with Tebex rather than working around it, shows your packages on the site and records each purchase in the player history. We explain the setup in our guide to setting up a Tebex store on a FiveM server.
5. ESX and QBCore support
Most servers run ESX Legacy or QBCore. Make sure the CMS ships with a FiveM resource for your framework and shows the server status, player count and characters.
6. Admin tools for staff
Search players, kick, ban and warn from the website, give items and vehicles, manage several servers with their own API keys, control weather and time, and read live logs. Roles and permissions let you give moderators exactly what they need.
7. Discord integration
Discord login, a bot and synced roles save you from managing two membership lists.
8. Easy installation and updates
A web installer, a clear guide and automatic migrations on update. However, check whether the CMS needs Composer or the command line: some do, and that is a barrier on shared hosting.
9. Security
Two-factor authentication for staff, signed webhooks, encrypted secrets and an audit log. Your website stores your players’ accounts, so treat it like production software.
10. Source code and license terms
Check that you get the full source code, how many domains the license covers and whether you may modify it. A one-time license is usually cheaper than a subscription over time.
Where FiveB fits
FiveB is a FiveM CMS built on Laravel 12 and Filament 4 that covers all of the points above: player portal, whitelist, Tebex store, ESX and QBCore resource, Discord login, multi-server admin and a web installer, in English and French. See the FiveB documentation for the full installation guide.
