Unified DNS, smarter domain search, and clearer server setup

Finding a domain and getting your services ready is easier in this release. Search without choosing an extension first, manage subdomains in a consistent layout, and follow new guided tours through your service controls. You’ll also find clearer pricing, more responsive protection controls, and useful improvements across everyday tools.

Find domains and manage DNS more easily

• Search for a name, not just a full domain. Enter your preferred name to check availability across every active domain extension in one search. Results and cart highlighting now follow your progress more clearly, with easier-to-read result rows. Domain transfers still require the full domain name.
• Keep your subdomains together. VPS, gameserver, and Discord Bot DNS tabs now show default and custom subdomains in one table, with compact copy controls and a clearly marked default domain. VPS customers can also see IPv4 addresses and IPv6 networks side by side.
• Check subdomain availability with less waiting. Availability previews respond faster across supported services, including a leaner TeamSpeak lookup.

Get started with more guidance

• Find the right controls with new product tours. VPS guides introduce Apps, console access, recovery, backups, and firewall controls. Dedicated Server guides highlight remote management, installation, hardware, and networking, while Domain guides cover nameservers, DNS, contact handles, and Cloudflare where eligible.
• Get oriented on more gameservers. Games without a dedicated tour now receive a general dashboard introduction. FiveM, RedM, and FiveM Enhanced tours cover txAdmin, configuration, console access, and server actions, while guiding you to enter your own required Cfx.re license key before starting.
• See what your VPS is doing during setup. Installation and reinstallation screens now show stage labels and percentage progress, and ISO installation uses a consistent single-card layout. Change your root password directly from the Server Access card, with more resilient handling of temporary guest-agent timeouts.
• Understand sharing permissions before granting access. Information tooltips explain what each permission allows when creating or editing service-sharing groups across all six service types.

Manage services with fewer interruptions

• DDoS protection changes now take effect correctly. Enabling or disabling protection no longer silently does nothing, and the switch responds immediately instead of appearing unchanged while the protection service catches up.
• Gameserver mobile management gains broader support. This release enables ZapX Mobile integration for editable configuration, storage-related suspension details, statistics history, and scheduled-task deletion.
• More service controls are ready for mobile integration. Gameserver DDoS controls and TeamSpeak DDoS, scheduling, and usage-history capabilities now have the support needed by ZapX Mobile. These changes enable app integration rather than confirming that every corresponding mobile screen has shipped.
• TeamSpeak starts get a fresh idle grace period. Manually starting a server no longer leaves it eligible for another idle shutdown immediately afterward. Fresh TeamSpeak servers also receive an editable ZAP-Hosting welcome message.
• Schedule tasks with the timezone in view. Gameserver schedule lists and cron columns now explicitly identify UTC, with the same reminder in gameserver, Discord Bot, and TeamSpeak schedule dialogs.
• Avoid frustrating gameserver errors. Foundry Virtual Tabletop servers no longer fail repeatedly at startup because they cannot write their data. Database exports and backup downloads also handle resources deleted since the page loaded as unavailable, rather than showing a generic server error.
• Routine service checks handle edge cases more reliably. Scheduled VPS backups now check backup-storage availability before attempting a job, and online-status checks are less likely to be interrupted during longer service sweeps.

Understand prices and compare options

• Know what you’ll pay after a discount ends. Checkout now shows the regular renewal price for time-limited coupons. Gameserver adjustment previews retain your current contract price when nothing changes, and post-checkout recommendations exclude unsuitable add-ons without hiding products simply because you already own one.
• Compare hosting packages in a more consistent layout. Gameserver pricing cards use game-specific colors and clearer tier styling, with a compact location picker that keeps region names readable. TeamSpeak pages use blue accents, Discord Bot pages use Discord’s signature color, and pricing-adjacent payment strips and landing-page spacing better match their surroundings.

A clearer dashboard and support experience

• Recognize your products at a glance. Domain, TeamSpeak, and Discord Bot inventory cards use recognizable brand icons, while VPS and Dedicated Server icons stay consistent across navigation, product pages, and help categories.
• Read status and tool guidance in your language. Starting and stopping badges use corrected wording in Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, and Polish, with the stopping label also corrected in Portuguese. Missing translations in the Minecraft Start Script Generator no longer fall back to German.
• Beta testers can reach support directly. Support chat and tickets are now accessible to beta-gated visitors, with invitation emails explaining when to use support and when to report interface issues through Beta-Feedback. Feedback detail pages also avoid repeated loading work.

More useful everyday tools

• Follow clearer instructions in developer tools. The JSON Formatter, JWT Debugger, Base64 Encoder, Epoch Converter, and Crontab Generator now include more consistent feature explanations, step-by-step guidance, and related-tool links. Tool and category FAQs are also more consistently organized.
• Navigate network tools more easily. WHOIS Lookup, DNS Propagation Checker, Email Health Checker, Subnet Calculator, and What’s My IP use refreshed page layouts with clearer explanations and related tools.
• Create and scan QR codes with less scrolling. The generator keeps its preview and download controls visible alongside editing options on desktop. The scanner places camera and image-upload options side by side, while mobile layouts remain stacked.
• Work more comfortably with images and patterns. The Favicon Generator gains clearer guidance and scroll-wheel zoom for crop adjustments. The Regex Tester now gives long patterns a multiline input instead of squeezing them into a single line.
• Place Core Keeper map markers more precisely. The Map Viewer uses official in-game marker icons, keeps all eight shapes in one picker row, and lets you choose an icon and note before positioning it with a live cursor preview.
