# RAGE Multiplayer Server Hosting Guide: Setup, Scripts and Fixes

> RAGE Multiplayer server hosting guide for FREAKHOSTING: conf.json, scripts, blips, CEF, voice chat, C# bridge, admins and fixes for GTA V multiplayer.

This RAGE Multiplayer (RAGE:MP) server guide lists every FREAKHOSTING help page for RAGE:MP, the GTA V multiplayer platform. Your server is configured through one file, `conf.json`, which you edit in **Files**. The only **Startup** variable is **Max Players**. Your gamemode lives in `packages` (server scripts) and `client_packages` (client scripts and UI). New here? Start with [getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/rage-multiplayer/getting-started-with-your-rage-multiplayer-server.md).

| Fact | Value |
| - | - |
| Config file | `conf.json` in the server folder, edited in **Files** |

| Server scripts | `packages/<your gamemode>/index.js` (Node.js) or C# resources in `dotnet/resources` |
| Client scripts | `client_packages/index.js`, downloaded by players when they join |

## Frequently asked questions

### Is RAGE:MP the same as FiveM?

No. RAGE Multiplayer and FiveM are separate GTA V multiplayer platforms with their own launchers, server software and scripting APIs. See [basic configuration](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/rage-multiplayer/rage-multiplayer-basic-server-configuration-guide.md).

### Where do I change my server name?

In `conf.json`, the `name` key. Open **Files**, edit `conf.json`, save and restart. Max players comes from your plan.

### Which languages can I script in?

Node.js (JavaScript) on the server, JavaScript on the client, and C# through the C# bridge. See [C# bridge or Node.js](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/rage-multiplayer/installing-bridge-csharp-vs-node.md).

### How do players join?

In the RAGE Multiplayer launcher, through the **Servers** tab (if your server is announced) or the **Direct Connect** tab with your address, for example `203.0.113.10:22005`.
