Smoother checkout, stronger domain controls, and safer gameservers
Choose rental or Lifetime pricing more easily, configure gameservers with clearer safeguards, and manage domains with more DNS options and safer transfers.
This release makes it easier to compare packages, keep your checkout choices, and switch between rental and Lifetime pricing. It also brings clearer gameserver resource warnings, automatic storage protection, more DNS options, and broader Dedicated Server API controls.
A more consistent shopping experience
- Switch between rental and Lifetime pricing across the shop. A shared preference keeps the header, package selectors, and supported product prices aligned as you browse. TeamSpeak and Discord Bot use the same compact switch, with fixes for Lifetime availability checks and hosting navigation prices.
- Compare packages more easily. Gameserver, VPS, Dedicated Server, and TeamSpeak pricing cards use consistent layouts and price styling. Gameserver cards retain game-specific colors, show included features more reliably, and make badges and custom-configuration buttons easier to spot.
- Choose TeamSpeak packages in a dedicated package step. Small, Middle, and Big tiers are available alongside a custom-package option, with the custom slot selector appearing under Options when needed.
- Checkout fits smaller screens more reliably. Configuration content no longer spills off the right edge, domain selection uses a consistent on/off control, and unlimited gameserver and VPS slots appear among the included features. Gameserver summaries and mobile price bars also reflect the selected rental period correctly.
- Keep more of your configuration when returning to checkout. Gameserver reloads preserve checkout state more reliably, while gameserver, VPS, TeamSpeak, and Discord Bot configuration links retain domain choices. Discord Bot links also restore package, resource, region, and price selections.
- See ZapX Pass benefits reflected correctly. The included DDoS panel stays enabled for accounts with an active Pass, and checkout no longer offers a conflicting off switch. The gameserver Pass selector also no longer gets stuck, while Pass purchase notifications use the matching purple accent.
More capable and safer domain management
- Create SSHFP and TLSA DNS records. Both record types are now available for managed DNS, including domains using Cloudflare protection, with support in the DNS manager, assistant, and zone import/export.
- Keep domain transfer codes out of shared links. Transfer authorization codes are no longer included in checkout URLs or forwarded through login links. Older links containing a code are cleaned up when reopened.
- Avoid checkout getting stuck on a failed domain order. Combined checkout handles permanently failed domain orders without leaving the related attachment step waiting indefinitely.
Safer gameservers and more reliable services
- Spot undersized custom configurations before ordering. RAM and storage sliders now show the game's minimum requirement with a red marker and warning when you go below it. You can still proceed with a below-minimum configuration.
- Get notified before gameserver storage fills completely. Gameservers now stop automatically at 95% storage usage and send a customer notification.
- Access supported gameserver web panels more reliably. Configured login details are no longer lost when a game is set up or updated, avoiding missing credentials for its web interface.
- Encounter fewer dead ends during setup and maintenance. Game-selection failures no longer silently stall checkout, port conflicts are detected before gameserver startup, backups skip gameservers being deleted or already in an error state, and TeamSpeak restart handling avoids a startup timing issue.
Easier Dedicated Server selection and API access
- Compare dedicated hardware with less guesswork. CPU names remain readable, catalog filters offer single-core and multi-core benchmark selection, and score values are easier to read. The mobile purchase dock also receives layout refinements.
- Use more Dedicated Server controls through the customer API. API access now covers DDoS settings, reverse DNS, DNS and subdomain management, plus activity and network-traffic history.
- Manage installation and recovery through the customer API. New controls cover installation status, installation media, rescue mode, and remote management. These extend API access to capabilities already available in the web dashboard.
- Handle hardware issues and IP plan changes through the customer API. Customers can submit hardware problem reports, retrieve hardware cases, and request IP plan changes. Dedicated remote-management operations also recover more reliably from outdated management credentials.
A smoother everyday experience
- Reach payment setup directly. Billing links can open the Add Payment Method dialog instead of stopping at the billing overview. The payment setup screen also receives dark ZapX styling and better title wrapping on mobile.
- See service status that matches your actions. Intentionally stopped gameservers, VPS instances, TeamSpeak servers, and Discord Bots no longer show misleading disruption badges in service lists.
- Browse more comfortably on iPhone and other touch devices. Changes to decorative effects address page freezes and sluggish interactions across the homepage, shop, beta signup, and other landing pages. Pages also carry less translation data in their initial load.
- Keep mobile pages less cluttered. Purchase notifications stay hidden on small screens and can be dismissed persistently on larger screens. The sticky navigation returns to square bottom corners, while the mobile checkout dock keeps its rounded top corners.
- Get a more consistent translated experience. VPS ISO installation steps now show translated titles instead of falling back to German, alongside broader translation coverage across the interface.
- Start beta testing with clearer guidance. Invitation emails include the beta access link, required access information, and a short visual guide to submitting feedback.
- Receive notifications more reliably. Incident email delivery now retries temporary failures, and a failed send to one recipient is less likely to prevent other notification emails from arriving.
