Powerful file management, more games and free tools

Manage gameserver files with powerful editing tools, install more Windows games, and explore free tools for networking, gaming and everyday server tasks.

Take more control of your gameservers with a richer file manager, more installable games and easier modpack management. This release also brings a wide range of free tools, stronger Discord controls and more reliable service setup.

More control over your gameservers

  • Handle more file work directly in the dashboard. Select multiple files for bulk deletion, copying, moving and permission changes; edit code with syntax highlighting, search and replace; pack or extract archives with overwrite confirmation; and find files or download them from a URL. Write actions stay hidden for read-only access, and archive extraction supports files up to 200 MB.
  • Keep mods current without surprise updates. Check installed mods, plugins and modpacks for newer versions individually or with “check all”. Feed the Beast also joins the Minecraft modpack catalog as its own provider, making 21 official FTB packs available to install. Nothing updates automatically.
  • Prepare Assetto Corsa content more easily. Import Content Manager packs, manage installed content in the Content tab and generate server configuration and entry lists. Choose cars and skins from installed content, with the allowed car list kept in sync with your entries.
  • Get more dependable connections and status checks. Affected Minecraft modpacks are reachable on their first start, reinstalled gameservers no longer retain outdated advertised addresses after a move, and reachable servers no longer appear to have closed ports because of a faulty check. Brief Steam login outages also defer update checks rather than immediately failing them.
  • Deploy AI-created resources with fewer interruptions. The Plugin & Mod Studio deployment dialog handles loading states more reliably and selects the correct FiveM txAdmin target. Builder chat can respond in your language and supports deployment from the conversation.

More games and easier server setup

  • Install more Windows game servers. The Game Server Installer now supports HumanitZ, Squad, Arma Reforger, Holdfast: Nations At War, Necesse, Eco, VEIN and Killing Floor 2, alongside Abiotic Factor, Enshrouded, V Rising, Conan Exiles and SCUM. Relevant VPS game pages now link directly to the installer, with the game preselected where supported.
  • Manage installed instances beyond the first setup. The Windows Game Server Installer gains backup, restore, uninstall and reachability checks, helping you maintain servers from the same tool you used to install them.
  • Finish Coolify setup when automatic installation cannot complete. A manual, one-command setup option lets you continue on your VPS, after which ZapX detects the result and completes setup. AppFlowy and Supabase installations also stop asking for invalid configuration fields.
  • See clearer outcomes for VPS maintenance. Repeated snapshot deletion, unavailable ISO sources, ISO deletion conflicts and rollback conflicts receive more appropriate responses. Timed-out ISO downloads are stopped, and the hostname field uses a localized placeholder.
  • Avoid stale Dedicated server addresses after termination. Custom subdomain DNS records are removed when a Dedicated server is terminated, so they no longer point to an IP later assigned elsewhere.

Free tools for troubleshooting, creating and playing

  • Investigate network issues from one growing toolkit. The new Redirect Checker shows redirect chains, status codes and HTTP headers, while the IP Blacklist Checker checks DNS blocklists and reverse DNS. Both are also available in VPS and Dedicated dashboard tools, alongside new public DNS Lookup and IP Location Lookup tools.
  • Build and inspect website essentials. New free tools include a Sitemap Generator, an .htaccess Generator, an HTTP Status Codes reference and a Markdown Editor for GitHub and Discord. The .htaccess Generator also handles preset and module changes without navigation errors.
  • Convert data and create visual content in your browser. Use JSON to CSV, the Image Color Picker and the Fancy Text Generator for everyday development, design and community tasks.
  • Check your hardware and practice your aim. The PC Bottleneck Calculator estimates CPU and GPU balance, the PSU Calculator helps estimate power needs, and the Mouse Test and Aim Trainer provide browser-based input checks and practice.
  • Create Minecraft skins, not just view them. The new Minecraft Skin Editor joins the existing Skin Viewer.
  • Find useful game references faster. Explore the Project Zomboid map, inspect worlds with the Terraria Map Viewer and look up Valheim console commands.
  • Simplify small gaming and everyday tasks. New tools cover Morse and binary translation, a stopwatch/countdown/Pomodoro timer and a CS2 Launch Options Generator.
  • Find and use tools with less friction. Dashboard tools use shorter, task-focused names, and related links connect tools with public server lists. What’s My IP now uses ZAP-Hosting’s own IPv4 and IPv6 checks, reducing false “not available” results caused by tracker blocking.

Stronger community and Discord workflows

  • Discover more than Minecraft servers. Public server lists now include FiveM and a website directory for gamers and server owners. Minecraft listings correctly recognize hostname-routed servers, and listing owners gain editable addresses with better wrapping for long addresses and language labels.
  • Keep Discord server controls in the right hands. Zappy’s guild connections only offer services owned by the connecting customer, while personal access to shared services remains unchanged. Administrative widgets are restricted to Discord administrators, with rate limits and duplicate-interaction protection for control actions.
  • Understand Discord bot failures more quickly. Dependency-install errors identify the failed package instead of directing you to an empty console. Invalid package manifests and blocked plan changes no longer trigger repeated futile attempts, and temporary administration locks return a clearer result.
  • Explore more product information in your language. New pages explain server management through Discord, Discord bot hosting, TeamSpeak hosting and remote MCP servers across additional languages, including English. The German Discord server-management page is also available.

More reliable orders, account data and APIs

  • Recover stalled service setup automatically. Orders stuck during TeamSpeak, gameserver, VPS, Discord bot or domain provisioning now receive automatic retry and reconciliation checks. Combined checkout also stops trying to attach products whose orders were canceled or expired.
  • Access a broader personal data export. Downloads now include more bug-report history, abuse notices, newsletter and reward records, Discord connections, server listings and partner-programme data. Additional exports cover AI assistant commands, recommendation chats, Plugin Studio activity and Game Installer runs, with stricter matching for records associated with your email address.
  • Get actionable responses to invalid API requests. Public API and customer-facing endpoints return validation errors instead of generic server errors for non-object JSON, incorrectly typed fields and malformed domain checkout entries. Oversized pagination values and invalid identifiers are also handled more safely.
  • Distinguish access restrictions from temporary outages. VPS backup requests blocked by the ZapX Pass requirement return HTTP 403, while an unreachable VPS management service returns a retryable HTTP 503 instead of a generic HTTP 500.
  • Build richer service and domain experiences through APIs. Customer domain contact profiles can be created, edited, deleted and marked as preferred through a REST API. Gameserver service responses also include game identifiers and icon URLs, enabling mobile clients to display the appropriate artwork.

Easier navigation and smoother everyday use

  • Browse server offers with keyboard-friendly navigation. Desktop product menus support keyboard opening, Escape and accessible expanded states. The redesigned Dedicated menu makes offers easier to compare on desktop and mobile, including full CPU names, clearer specifications and a more direct rental action.
  • Follow product guides without losing sight of the page. Guide cards keep a stable size, avoid covering highlighted controls and use consistent navigation buttons. On phones, compact cards sit at the screen edge, scroll targets into view and can be hidden when you need more room.
  • Spend less time waiting or fighting distracting UI. The homepage reduces off-screen animation work and unnecessary image weight. Recommendation chats stop retrying endlessly after a failed start, and AI conversations handle messages with missing content parts more reliably.
  • Read product pages with fewer visual distractions. Public pages use more consistent typography and card shapes, pricing buttons keep their arrows with their labels, and toggles switch without flicker. FiveM galleries show working images, while pre-order pages describe the prepaid model and refund terms instead of promising instant setup.
