A community hub, Lifetime checkout and simpler plan changes

Discover what’s happening across the community, choose Lifetime more easily, and find plan changes in one dedicated place. This release also makes trial billing clearer, improves Discord bot creation, and fixes frustrating interruptions in server management and sign-in.

Your community, connected

• Explore the new community hub. See live Discord activity, open suggestions, the latest release and roadmap progress together, alongside social links, affiliate programme terms and an earnings calculator.
• Follow ideas from feedback to release. Feedback, Roadmap and Changelog now live under the community hub, with live counters and examples connecting each stage. Existing board links and the changelog RSS feed redirect to their new destinations, preserving query parameters.

More confident checkout and billing

• Choose Lifetime without retracing your steps. Eligible gameservers, VPS, TeamSpeak servers, Discord bots and dedicated servers now offer Lifetime alongside rental terms at checkout, including dedicated orders combined with a domain.
• See location costs before choosing a region. Rental location tiles show the additional price per billing period instead of only a percentage badge, including the automatically selected location. Checkout summaries use more consistent pricing rows.
• Keep your free trial when downgrading ZapX Pass. Changing to a lower tier during the trial no longer ends it or triggers an immediate charge. Trial displays across the dashboard, subscription list and Pass page consistently show when the free period ends and what follows.
• Understand what your Pass includes. VPS backup displays show your actual allowance, usage and locked extras more clearly, while optional Lifetime-slot offers sit below the main overview rather than competing with service status.
• Know why your account needs attention. Open-invoice and paused-service notices use clearer warning levels, concise explanations and consistent payment actions, with layouts that remain usable on narrow screens.
• Get clearer invoice answers and targeted refunds. The account AI assistant lists every outstanding invoice individually, including older unpaid invoices. Support can also refund an individual paid invoice independently of its original order.
• See pricing that matches current offers. Shop and landing-page price references now reflect the latest gameserver, VPS, TeamSpeak, domain and Lifetime pricing. For newly accepted Classic rental VPS moves, the mapped ZapX list price applies from the next payment period; existing protected moves and Lifetime moves are unchanged.

Easier everyday service management

• Find plan changes in one place. A dedicated Manage plan page brings upgrades and downgrades into the service navigation for VPS, gameservers, Discord bots, TeamSpeak and dedicated servers.
• Select the full VPS storage limit. Plan changes now accept the advertised maximum even when it falls outside the usual slider increments, fixing the case where selecting 2,048 GB removed the price and blocked the change.
• Delete your own Lifetime dedicated server. Permanent deletion no longer requires a support ticket. A consequences checklist, server-name confirmation and fresh email code protect the action, with 2FA required when enabled.
• Get a complete service lifecycle experience. VPS deletion now sends a “Server deleted” notification, and Lifetime Discord bots with no uploaded code can be archived successfully instead of getting stuck during parking.
• See more accurate game and voice-server information. Assetto Corsa EVO gains live online status and player counts. TeamSpeak wake monitoring and idle-status displays are more reliable, managed advertising banners fit the client window, and Classic-move guidance makes clear that existing server data is retained.

Discord bots that are easier to build and run

• Build bots that control your ZAP-Hosting servers. ZapX Maker now recognises the ZapX API for server status and power controls rather than directing you to another provider or offering only a panel link.
• Share community-command results with everyone. Generated Discord bots can reply publicly to commands such as dice rolls and random choices instead of always hiding responses from the rest of the server.
• Start with the configuration your bot actually needs. Generated READMEs list additional environment variables, including API credentials, and setup guidance clearly identifies privileged Discord intents required for startup.
• Ask questions without triggering unnecessary rebuilds. Maker better distinguishes explanations about an existing result from requests to change it, and asks for code or logs when debugging an existing bot rather than inventing a replacement.
• Know what the generated result can provide. Bot summaries explain limitations of self-rendered image cards. Answers about Maker’s own capabilities and Java downloads are also clearer about what is actually available.

More useful VPS assistance

• Get Windows-aware help for servers moved from Classic. The VPS assistant recognises adopted Windows installations and uses Windows commands. It also avoids repeatedly attempting commands when the guest agent is unavailable.
• Follow a more direct path from Maker ZIP to running bot. The VPS assistant uses the generated README to guide installation, starts with the required setup steps, and no longer treats the optional Discord guild ID as mandatory.
• Browse apps before installation is ready. The assistant can show the One-Click Apps catalogue even when installation setup is not active, so you can still explore available applications.
• Get advice suited to your VPS. Process-management guidance accounts for the application that owns a process, avoids suggesting unavailable GPU acceleration, and checks user-specific programs before preparing scheduled commands. Guidance also points Classic interface-server owners to the appropriate self-service deletion controls.

Safer access and more reliable services

• Recover cleanly from an expired session. Service controls, plan changes, account settings, billing, checkout, Pass and partner-related actions now return a clear session-expired response instead of a generic server error.
• Sign in to the right account. First-time Discord, Google or Twitch sign-in for recognised Classic customers uses an email verification code to link the existing account. Mobile social sign-in also retains the session correctly, and clients can discover available social sign-in providers through the public API.
• Keep migrated VPS access stable. Changing the root password on affected Classic-migrated servers no longer causes SSH host keys, passwords or authorised keys to reset after a restart. Eligible adopted UEFI servers also show an available vTPM toggle correctly.
• Avoid more VPS command and connectivity interruptions. Commands containing accented characters or emoji no longer cause the guest agent to hang. Busy-node backup failures are recognised more accurately, IPv6 protection stays in sync more reliably, and console handovers are handled more cleanly.
• Recover more reliably from gameserver interruptions. Failed preorder provisioning can be retried or cancelled without the previous dead ends, and refunds or credits stay aligned with preorder status. Gameserver jobs better tolerate worker restarts, while affected hosts are less prone to memory-pressure stalls.
• Experience fewer loading and upload disruptions. Dedicated-shop pricing loads more efficiently, pages are prepared before serving traffic after a restart, and deployments reduce temporary gateway errors. Discord bot uploads also handle failed transfers more safely.

Help that reaches you sooner

• Read newly published help in your language. Newly created automatic translations inherit the source article’s publication status, so published guides no longer remain hidden in other languages awaiting manual publication.
• Read help articles with clearer formatting. Callout labels are translated and adjacent information boxes remain separate. FAQ formatting, permanent article redirects and search-timeout handling also receive fixes.
• Get support without bulk-content delays. Large Help Center translation batches no longer hold up customer support work. Zappy can seek verification for read-only payment questions rather than stopping at an unverified answer.

More useful pages in your language

• Compare API and MCP access more easily. The developer hub offers more consistent localised guidance on supported services, authentication and when to choose an AI-client connection or a REST API workflow, with localised routes for additional languages.
• Explore hosting and partnership information in more languages. The partner directory now covers additional European languages, the Metin2 hosting page is available across all nine supported locales, and Spanish, Dutch and Polish affiliate pages have their own localised addresses.
• Compare hosting with clearer criteria. The hosting-comparison hub explicitly covers gameservers and VPS, with guidance on billing, cancellation, locations, DDoS protection and moving services. Domain information also clarifies renewal pricing, WHOIS, DNS and location details.
• Read more consistent translations. Help, blog and landing-page text uses a more consistent informal voice, with French corrections across the interface, dedicated hosting, domains and Minecraft loader pages. Additional interface translations are included throughout the panel.
• Find the right page more easily. Minecraft Vanilla navigation opens the localised Minecraft page, FiveM and RedM RAM guidance stays in the shop where you configure a server, and shop cards are easier to read without overflowing their frames.
• Recognise pages and tools more easily. Social previews now better identify comparison, partner, blog, developer, status and trust pages. Refreshed tool-page descriptions cover Minecraft utilities, server configuration generators, game maps and editors, developer tools and team utilities, while Hytale search listings focus on useful detail pages rather than debug entries.
