I’m looking to purchase a fivem server and I was wondering if there’s any other host that are cheaper then Zap? Or is Zap the only host
Zap Hosting is the only host that is allowed to sell premade FiveM servers. But you can buy a VPS and host your own FiveM server on there.

Any good vps hosting company’s you would recommended
I personally use OVH. Nice and cheap, works just fine.
Which vps plan do you use?
The cheapest one. It doesn’t take a lot to run a FiveM server.
If you find yourself needing more, you can always upgrade. Until you know what you’re getting into and have active players though, best to stick with the cheapest.
So would this work or would I need a Windows OS on it?

That’d work just fine. You’ll need to manually install the server onto the VPS, there’s probably tutorials on how to do that.
I’d like to jab in here and recommend NFOServers as a host ( I’m not affiliated with them, this is just my opinion )
Generally speaking, what you should be looking for in a host is good uptime, however most providers these days are relatively reliable - most issues with downtime are created by yourself…
The reason I recommend NFO is for their support team; nearly any time of day, even up into the wee hours of the AM you’ll be able to get a response out of them within minutes. Really helpful when $&%* does hit the fan and you need someone to get your machine going again.

Okay thank you I’ll look at the hosting company. Which service do you recommand? The “virtual servers” I’m assuming
Virtual server, choose ‘unmanaged’ - use whatever the latest version of Windows Server offered is unless you prefer linux.
The prices are kinda high 
I highly recommend Hostek they are a great company and Ive been with them for over a year now and I would rate them 5/5.
Good prices and good customer service. When I first purchased from them there was an issue with my ports. Not even 10 mins after the ticket was made I had a support team member solve the problem with flying colors.
Another thing that is awesome about them is there always putting us (the customer) first and they wont hesitate to accommodate to your needs.
