Live pricing answers, multilingual News, and safer server management

Zappy can now answer more product questions using live catalog data, and News supports your preferred language. This release also makes everyday hosting safer, with save-preserving game updates, stronger file protection, clearer billing, and more dependable server controls.

More useful answers and multilingual News

• Ask Zappy about current plans and prices. The support assistant can now check live catalog information for ZapX Pass, VPS, TeamSpeak, Discord Bot, Dedicated Server, and domains, including Pass entitlements and VPS sizing. Better awareness of the current date also helps it distinguish recent orders and tickets from older ones.
• Read News in your preferred language. Localized titles, summaries, and articles now appear in the dashboard widget, News pages, and RSS feed when a translation is available. Untranslated articles fall back to German.
• Follow AI-assisted actions more easily. Confirmed actions now leave an outcome message in the conversation. Product AI chats also have per-account usage limits and a 20,000-character message limit.
• Navigate back through the Help Center without losing your place. A new “Up one level” link takes you to an article’s containing category or a category’s immediate parent.

Pricing and billing you can trust

• See what changes your checkout total. ZapX Pass term options now display the applicable duration discounts, and checkout shows regional surcharges as a separate price line.
• See your own ZapX Pass price and tier accurately. The Pass dashboard uses your actual locked-in subscription price rather than today’s catalog price, and tier indicators refresh reliably after upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and payment recovery.
• Change your Pass without unexpected repricing errors. Eligible changes retain the pricing variant recorded with your subscription, while slot changes on retired current tiers no longer fail simply because that tier is unavailable for new purchases.
• Avoid continued billing for deleted services. Subscription handling now stops billing for gameservers and VPS services that were already permanently deleted after the overdue-payment grace period.
• Manage payment issues with less confusion. Expired cards cannot be saved as the default payment method, and repeated processing of the same failed-payment or authentication-required invoice no longer generates duplicate notifications.
• Understand orders and invoices more easily. Dedicated Server additional-IP charges appear in the order breakdown, prepaid-activation invoices show the correct product label, and order details fit narrow mobile screens more reliably.

Safer gameserver updates and daily management

• Keep your saves when updating SteamCMD games. Routine version updates for games such as ARK, Rust, and Counter-Strike 2 now preserve savegames, configuration, and logs instead of treating the update like a factory reset.
• Protect existing files from accidental replacement. Renaming cannot overwrite an existing destination, uploads ask before replacing matching files, and new file or folder names reject slashes rather than silently creating nested paths. Incomplete uploads also return a clear validation error.
• Install variants and manage mods with fewer steps. Installed games have a shortcut to add another variant, searches recognize names such as Paper and Forge, and mod or plugin changes can offer to stop and restart a running server automatically. Catalog buttons and version labels are also easier to read on mobile.
• Get a more informative live overview. Supported games now show a Live Status card with server name, player count, map, and ping where available. FiveM adds colored server names and loaded-resource counts; player-name lists avoid misleading samples, and persistent port problems no longer hide behind a reset startup grace period.
• See the right game and version after switching. Version and modpack labels follow the active installation, old version pins no longer carry into another game, and Minecraft settings no longer cause unrelated games to show Minecraft version options. In-progress switches also identify the target game.
• Save valid configurations with clearer labels. Numeric settings enforce their supported ranges, slot-dependent installation defaults respect booked capacity, and startup parameters have more readable translated names. Configuration translations and setup-step labels also avoid incorrect language or raw internal values.
• Use the console more reliably. It reconnects when your browser comes back online, and command-send controls stay clear of the support button on both mobile and desktop. Crash-related refreshes also reconcile the displayed server status.
• Keep backups and schedules current across tabs. Backup, database, and schedule lists catch up when you return to a tab, reactivated schedules calculate their next run instead of firing immediately, and automatic-backup names use your language. Storage-full emails are limited to one per server per 24 hours.

More dependable VPS controls

• Create firewall rules with better guidance. IPv6 addresses are accepted, invalid IPv4 addresses and network ranges are rejected early, and firewall limits show their actual explanation instead of a generic error. Rule dialogs also keep the submit button reachable on phones.
• Keep firewall IP sets consistent. Rules cannot reference missing sets, duplicate set names are rejected, and sets still used by rules cannot be deleted. Retrying deletion of an already-removed set succeeds without a misleading failure.
• Apply network changes with clearer feedback. DNS-server changes now take effect inside the installed system, hostname changes explain when the guest agent is unavailable, and Windows recovery hints refer to RDP rather than SSH.
• Recover and import installation media more confidently. Stale ISO and rescue-media entries can recover from missing files, custom ISO imports explain invalid URLs, size limits, or quota restrictions, and administration locks show a useful reason.
• Avoid losing track of SSH access changes. Key-generation dialogs stay open while generation is pending, SSH-key validation messages use your language, and the Access tab warns when rescue mode means changes affect the temporary rescue environment.
• Connect VPS Apps with actionable feedback. External-panel checks explain connection or credential problems, managed panel-address setup verifies the panel is reachable through its configured address, and successful app-setup resets no longer look like errors.

Easier domain and TeamSpeak management

• Search for domains using international characters. Domain search and registration now support Unicode names such as those containing umlauts, while invalid follow-up searches clear outdated availability results.
• Catch DNS mistakes before publishing. Stronger checks cover record names, numeric ranges, incompatible records, and unsupported TXT content. Record-specific examples help with formatting, Developer API validation returns appropriate client errors, and customer messages avoid exposing internal database details.
• Keep domain connections tidy and predictable. Deleting a connected DNS record releases its service’s subdomain slot, subdomain creation no longer spins indefinitely when the DNS provider is unavailable, and domain copy buttons have a fallback when clipboard access fails. DNS-record and domain-contact deletion also ask for confirmation.
• Manage TeamSpeak settings and users more reliably. Server-name changes stay in sync throughout the dashboard, ban inputs receive clear validation, brief startup connection interruptions are retried, and simultaneous panel requests avoid nickname conflicts. AI settings changes also respect whether the server is running.
• Restore TeamSpeak without an unwanted start. Restoring a backup preserves an intentionally stopped state, backup lists refresh when you return to a tab, and stopped servers no longer leave automatic-backup schedules marked as permanent errors. Backup tables are also more readable on phones.

A calmer, more responsive dashboard

• Find account prompts in one compact place. Discord, legacy-account linking, and birthday prompts now share a compact status rail. The resource summary also distinguishes servers with live metrics from your total service count.
• Use power controls with fewer interruptions. Start, stop, and restart actions recognize when a newly deployed version requires a reload, explain what is happening, and reload once. Conflicting power requests from multiple tabs are also guarded across gameservers, VPS, and TeamSpeak.
• Trust the status you see. Older resource responses no longer replace newer readings, failed VPS restores receive a clear error status, and notification read states stay in sync across tabs. Provisioning and restricted-access refreshes no longer interrupt your own navigation.
• Load pages without unnecessary downloads. First visits no longer preload thousands of unrelated assets, service navigation avoids downloading every unopened tab, and reduced-motion page loading is more reliable. Cookie choices also work before the page finishes becoming interactive.
• Navigate more comfortably on phones and tablets. Guided tours reveal the sidebar controls needed to continue, hidden sidebars stay out of keyboard navigation, and long service titles are easier to access on touchscreens. Inventory action captions and notification rows are clickable, and printed customer pages remain legible.

Safer access and a more accessible experience

• Receive security alerts for meaningful changes. Linking Google, GitHub, or Discord now records account activity, sends a security email, and revokes active one-click login tokens. Renaming a passkey no longer sends an unnecessary warning; sign-in and account-protection changes still do.
• Choose API permissions with confidence. Account-level and service-specific permissions now show readable, translated labels instead of raw permission identifiers.
• Use more controls with a keyboard or screen reader. Firewall, SSH, DDoS, DNS, and server-management controls have clearer accessible names, dialogs restore focus when closed, and navigation landmarks are more consistent. Cookie controls, settings selectors, and AI suggestion contrast also receive accessibility fixes.
• See more of the platform in your language. Translation fixes cover profile and upload validation, backup presets, schedule timezone hints, resource captions, chart tooltips, and the VPS console’s send-text panel. Public hosting pages also use more consistent localized wording and working language-specific links.
• Encounter more consistent legacy-account access checks. Legacy-panel links respect account restrictions and configured preview access gates. For eligible lifetime VPS transfers, the migration flow is tied to a reservation accepted in the Legacy panel before completion in ZapX.

New tools and easier product discovery

• Plan Satisfactory production chains. The new Production Calculator uses extracted game recipe data for core production chains, including advanced parts and nuclear fuel rods. Its coverage clearly excludes combat, decorative, and selected deep-endgame recipes.
• Explore Hytale items in detail. A new searchable item database includes game icons, crafting recipes, known drop sources, merchants, and an interactive 3D model viewer.
• Browse self-hosted apps your way. The directory now offers alphabetical, last-updated, newly-added, trending, and random sorting alongside the existing stars order.
• Discover Minecraft server software and compatible projects. Thirteen new pages cover Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, Folia, Sponge, Velocity, Waterfall, and BungeeCord, with live mod or plugin catalogs and filtering.
• Compare hosting in more languages. New Dedicated Server pages cover English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Swedish. Additional pages introduce French gameserver hosting, Italian VPS hosting, Spanish Discord Bot hosting and lifetime VPS, and Polish ZapX Pass information.
• Find products and tools more easily. Larger plan catalogs use a tier slider, gameserver menu columns include “View all” links, and the homepage’s main hosting button leads to the shop. Refreshed About content, game-themed tool headers, and more consistent Trustpilot information round out the browsing experience.
