{% hint style="info" %}
You can join a FiveM server either via the **list** (by name), or by **direct connection** with `IP:PORT`.
{% endhint %}

### Objective

* Retrieve **IP/port** (or a domain).
* Join the server via FiveM.

### Step-by-step guide

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use a domain to avoid sharing the IP:\
[Put a domain name on your server](/en/dashboard/mettre-un-nom-de-domaine-sur-son-serveur.md).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Access the server list**

Open FiveM, then click **Play**.

Click on **Connect**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Connect using the server's IP address**

Type: `>IP:port`

Example:

Press **Enter**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common issues

#### The server does not appear in the list

* Test the connection by IP.
* Verify that the server is actually started.
* Wait 1 to 2 minutes. The listing may be delayed.

#### `Failed to connect` / timeout

* Check the IP/port (copy-paste from the dashboard).
* Try again after a server restart.
