New Panel, New Prices: What's Inside ZapX

ZapX is our new panel: one-click apps on your VPS, an AI agent and game servers without slot limits. What's new, what it costs and why our prices are changing.

We rebuilt our panel from the ground up. ZapX does a lot more than anything you've used with us so far: one-click apps on your VPS, an AI agent that sets up servers for you, and game servers without a slot limit. With ZapX, our prices are changing too. Here's what's new, what it costs and why.

• VPS with one-click apps: Coolify lets you launch Nextcloud, n8n, WireGuard, Plex and hundreds of other apps without wrestling with Docker setups. Linux or Windows, full root access, enterprise NVMe, ready in minutes.
• The ZapX AI Agent: You type what you want, for example "Install WireGuard on my VPS", and it does the steps for you. It's part of the ZapX Pass.
• Game servers in under 60 seconds: more than 70 games, switch games with one click, modpacks start fully configured.
• Unlimited slots: You pay for performance, not for player slots. More on that below.
• DDoS protection that adapts: Our PletX protection tunes its filter rules to your server, at no extra cost.

Prices per month or 30 days, as of 4 November 2026. Longer terms are up to 25 percent cheaper. You'll find all current prices on our pricing page.

VPS and FiveM servers stay close to their previous price and get everything ZapX brings on top. Small game servers go up the most, because they used to be extremely cheap.

What a game server costs depends on the game: most cost the base price, especially demanding ones like FiveM a little more, lightweight ones like Satisfactory less. You can see which game is in which class on the pricing page.

Lifetime is still available: you pay 11 times the monthly price once and need a ZapX Pass with a free Lifetime slot, from €4.99 a month. The Pass covers running costs like electricity, hardware, backups and AI tools; you pay for the server itself only once. Find out why in Lifetime Behind a Paywall?

In short: hardware is more expensive than it has been in a long time. Our own purchase invoices show it:

• Server memory: three times as expensive as in autumn 2025.
• Enterprise SSDs and NVMe drives: more than twice as expensive.
• Data center power: 18 percent more per kilowatt hour.

The reason is the AI boom: the big memory manufacturers produce mainly for AI data centers, leaving less for everyone else. Hetzner, OVHcloud and netcup have raised their prices in 2026 as well.

We still held our prices for a long time: a Minecraft slot cost the same €0.69 since 2016. With ZapX we're adjusting them, mainly where a lot of memory is involved. Some processors, on the other hand, have become cheaper, which is why VPS prices barely change.

In ZapX you choose how much memory your server gets. The number of players costs nothing extra. Whether 4 or 40 people play on your server only depends on what it can handle. How much performance a server needs is driven far more by mods, plugins and the game world than by the number of players.

Some games set their own limit, FiveM for example 48 players without Element Club. For FiveM and RedM, the shop shows you right away how much RAM you need for your player count.

We're no longer developing our previous customer area; our focus is now on ZapX. That's why we're not changing prices there anymore: your rented servers keep running there at their current prices. If you like, you can move them to ZapX, starting with VPS.

1. Once your server is ready to move, you'll get an invitation in your customer area.
2. Your paid term stays fully intact.
3. You'll see the new price beforehand. It only applies from the next billing after you've agreed.

The move is voluntary, and the ZapX Pass is optional for rented servers. Domains get the new prices after the move. What the move means for Lifetime servers, you can read in Lifetime Behind a Paywall? Our Honest Answer.

We built ZapX so you spend less time setting things up and more time on your project. You'll find all prices on the pricing page, and you can try the panel for free. Our support team is always there for questions about your server or the move.
