Build your dedicated server and manage services faster

Configure dedicated hardware around your needs, place orders even when locations are busy, and move between service tabs with less waiting. This release also refreshes plan management, changes how ZapX Pass backup storage is counted, and makes mobile browsing and support conversations more dependable.

Choose and customize your server

• Build a dedicated server around your requirements. Choose region, performance tier, processor, RAM, storage and uplink in a step-by-step configurator, with custom builds available for supported processors. Backorders support capacity requests, waiting orders show estimated delivery times, and the loading preview matches the configurator.

• Order at busy locations instead of hitting a dead end. VPS, gameserver, TeamSpeak and Discord bot orders can wait for capacity, with the service term starting at provisioning and a region-switch option available. Queued VPS orders retry automatically and receive an automatic refund if capacity remains unavailable after seven days.

• Compare plans more easily before making a change. VPS, gameserver, Discord bot and TeamSpeak plan pages now use a shop-style package bar, detailed specifications and consistent extras. Dedicated servers show booked hardware instead of package wording, and phone layouts use a more compact price bar. Pricing and billing logic are unchanged.

• Choose a package that fits your game. VPS game pages now offer only packages accepted by the game's installer, while concrete RAM figures are concentrated in the RAM FAQ. Minecraft modpack estimates also account for mod count and published author recommendations for demanding packs.

• Read payment and plan details comfortably on smaller screens. Saved-card labels keep their masked numbers together, checkout buttons offer larger touch targets on tablets, and ZapX Pass comparisons keep labels and storage values readable on narrow phones.

Understand and manage backup storage

• See daily backups included consistently in your ZapX Pass usage. Gameserver daily backups, including game database dumps, now count alongside VPS, TeamSpeak and Discord bot daily backups. Dedicated servers remain outside this change, and safety copies, Lifetime archives and TeamSpeak migration backups stay excluded.

• Keep recovery available even when storage is over its limit. Daily system backups continue, and restoring or deleting backups remains available. Creating additional backups or snapshots, keeping a daily backup and running customer-scheduled backups is blocked while over the limit; usage history is retained.

• Count VPS backup storage by used data, not reserved disk capacity. A large disk with little data no longer counts at its full logical size. Before daily backups, ZapX also asks the guest agent to release deleted-data blocks where supported, helping backup storage better reflect actual usage.

Move through your panel with less waiting

• Return to recently visited tabs without starting over. Supported tabs across gameservers, VPS, dedicated servers, TeamSpeak, Discord bots and domains retain their previous content. Background activity pauses while hidden, then refreshes when you return.

• See your ZapX services sooner. Product lists and My Services can display ready ZapX entries while Classic services are still loading, without losing search or sort choices. Service detail pages also spend less time waiting on secondary information.

• Follow VPS operations with fewer interruptions. Installation badges, progress bars and step labels update without repeated full-page refreshes, and power actions avoid an unnecessary extra page render. Status checks pause when the browser tab is hidden and resume when you return.

• Find gameserver connection and configuration details faster. The in-game address takes priority, configuration appears in a clearer card layout, and editable settings receive curated German labels and help text across the remaining supported games. Streamer Mode masking no longer causes a first-visit layout jump.

• Keep important actions within reach. Support and feedback buttons no longer cover table actions or the Maker send button, and billing tables stay in table form at common laptop widths. Phone notifications avoid dialog footers, while clearer button styling distinguishes primary and destructive actions.

• Get a more accurate view of outages and maintenance. Stopped and suspended services now count when showing relevant incidents across service lists. Services on a recovered node can also leave maintenance status before work on the rest of an affected group is finished.

Run apps and community services with more confidence

• Discover One-Click Apps for dedicated servers more easily. The dedicated hosting page now includes an app catalog and setup FAQ for this existing feature. Dedicated AI assistance can account for app setup status, and setup screens better explain command-creation waits without showing stale access warnings after a reset.

• See app states that match what is happening. New One-Click Apps remain marked as installing until deployment is actually complete. If a VPS backup restore leaves an app entry in an Unknown state, you can now open its settings and remove it yourself.

• Use migrated community services with fewer surprises. Discord bots moved from Classic can start without an unnecessary ZapX token setting, and token-error guidance points to the bot's own files. The migration wizard uses clearer Discord bot wording, and older default ZAP banners are recognized on migrated ad-free TeamSpeak services.

Get more useful help from AI and support

• Let Zappy continue instead of repeating a completed step. When a confirmed action finds a service already in the requested state, support can continue with the original request rather than treating that state as a failure. A single confirmation outcome no longer triggers duplicate follow-up replies.

• Get service-aware answers with less guesswork. Support assistance has better context about recent power actions and who performed them, the relationship between migrated services and their Classic names, and Classic interface servers hosted on your own dedicated server.

• Find finished Maker builds without rebuilding. Follow-up answers point to the existing download, limit notices correctly explain the ZapX Pass 30-day AI quota, and build status stays readable on phones. Long project and chat titles also remain neatly on one line.

• Avoid misleading password-change confirmations. The VPS AI assistant rejects command patterns that would discard the supplied password instead of applying it, reducing cases where a successful-looking response showed a password that was never set.

• Start and browse support chats more comfortably on phones. The new-chat form remains usable on narrow and landscape screens, and empty conversation views use a simpler layout without unnecessary nested cards.

Browse faster and more comfortably

• Spend less time waiting for public pages to become usable. Hosting pages load less unnecessary styling and imagery, defer lower-page interactive work, and reduce work spent on decorative animations. Anonymous browsing also avoids an unnecessary session lookup until newsletter features need it.

• Scroll without unexpected page jumps. Rotating use-case and app previews keep steadier heights, review and app strips start in their final layout, and mobile deep links land more consistently. Benchmark sections on phones and tablets now open on tap rather than changing as you scroll.

• Read product previews without clipped content. Mobile fixes keep operating-system names, app feature chips, panel demonstration tabs and use-case preview cards inside their layouts, including when reduced motion is enabled. Updated translations also preserve launch parameters correctly in affected languages.

• Tap small controls and manage email preferences more easily. Discord template and homepage modpack navigation dots have more usable touch targets, and Counter-Strike 2 grenade-guide hints remain readable around map markers. Email unsubscribe pages are accessible without Early Access.

More dependable service management

• Handle domain searches and DNS cleanup more gracefully. Registrar timeouts now produce a service-unavailable response instead of a generic error, and deleting a managed DNS zone also removes its associated records.

• Recover dedicated-server access with clearer guidance. Remote-console error pages explain expired sessions and connection problems and offer a route back to your server. HP server fixes also improve power-status checks, preserve the iLO license after handover and make rescue boot use the intended rescue image.

• Run backups and VPS reinstalls through temporary faults more reliably. VPS backups remain retryable after temporary submission errors, offline-node backup jobs avoid futile attempts, and an unrelated powered-off cluster member no longer unnecessarily blocks VPS reinstalls.
