In the past time there have been (loss) problems with our Linux vServers.
The reason for this is the unstable new virtualization cluster of OpenVZ (OpenVZ 7).

For this reason we have been working for several months on the implementation of our new Linux VPS virtualization cluster based on LXC.

The new cluster is now available for all new Linux vServer orders.
Newly ordered vServers are set up directly there (prelaunch)!
In the next week we will implement a system for migrating existing servers, in which all existing Linux vServers are migrated to the new cluster. More information will follow.
All customers, who have currently are renting a Linux vServer, will automatically receive 10€ ZAP credit.

Operating Systems available in our New Cluster:
Debian 8 Debian 9 Ubuntu 16.04 Ubuntu 17.04 CentOS 6 CentOS 7 OpenSUSe 42.2 OpenSUSE 42.3 Fedo...

The new DLC Tanks for Arma 3 has been released this week. The paid DLC contains the new mini-campaign "Altis Requiem", in which the player slips into the role of a tank commander of the AAF and plays the classic campaign "The East Wind" from the opposite perspective and commands the newly introduced tanks.

Along the campaign 3 new tanks will be integrated into the game:
T-140 Angara: A modern main battle tank of Russian design equipped with a 125 mm cannon and a 12.7 mm and 7.62 mm machine gun. AWC Nyx: A light armoured weapons carrier of German design with 4 variants: Anti-tank, anti-air, reconnaissance and autocannon. Rhino MGS: An armoured fighting vehicle specialized in the fight against tanks and equipped with a 120 mm gun.
As usual with Arma 3, a extensive Arma 3 update was published, which all Arma 3 owners received, introducing many innovations in connection wit...

As of today PixARK servers can be rented at ZAP-Hosting.com.

PixARK is where ARK: Survival Evolved and Minecraft meet. The survival and construction game PixARK is based on the same basic principle as its big brother ARK: Dinosaurs can be fought or tamed in a sandbox world, and the player, alone or in a group, must try to survive by finding food, making tools and weapons and building buildings.

Unlike ARK: Survival Evolved, PixARK’s world is made up of voxels as in Minecraft and is generated procedurally. The voxel system allows buildings and objects to be created from the game blocks as in Minecraft. The quests are also generated procedurally. PixARK also comes with a Creative Mode where players can focus on letting their creativity run wild and building a variety of things.

New Servers Launched
Unfortunately, there have been shortages in the past few weeks in the area of our Windows VPSs. Especially customers who attempted to mine Cryptocoins on these servers caused us significant problems.
We have now countered this by launching a new extremely powerful, designed for redundancy and stability HP Blade Center.

Testing the Improved VPS Performance
To give you an idea of the extremely improved performance and stability of our Windows VPS, we have released 100 vouchers that discount our Windows VPS by 50% for the first month. These vouchers also apply to prepaid servers. If you're not satisfied with the server, you can simply let it expire!

Get the Vouchers
You can access the 100 Windows VPS vouchers through our voucher portal (top left of the page) or by clicking the following link and selecting the Blade Center WinVPS vouchers...
