Clearer payments, safer server changes and new security tools

Make changes with a clearer picture of what happens next. This release brings more informative payment confirmations, explicit restart warnings and stronger safeguards for your server data, alongside new security checks, IT calculators and everyday dashboard improvements.

More confidence at checkout and in billing

• See the result of a plan change without leaving the dialog. ZapX Pass confirmations show success, refusal, outstanding payment or errors in place. Pass and service plan-change dialogs also make the charged payment method and credit breakdown clearer, with safer handling when a connection drops before the outcome is known.
• Avoid duplicate purchases after interrupted payment verification. An unreadable 3D Secure result is no longer treated as a definite payment failure. One-time purchases that require a card are also rejected before they leave a failed order in your account.
• Keep track of pending ZapX Pass changes consistently. Billing screens now agree on scheduled changes and pending upgrades, stale tabs cannot silently replace a newer selection, and prorated charges use the same calculation time as the preview. Combined-checkout Pass upgrades and eligible payment retries also work more reliably.
• Recognize the payment method you are choosing. Saved methods show their logos, brand styling and account details in billing and checkout, including Apple Pay or Google Pay origins for saved cards. Newly added eligible methods are selected more appropriately when you return to checkout.
• Get pricing that matches the shop. Gameserver price classes and your display currency are reflected more consistently across calculators, package listings, landing pages and the Public API. Credit-split explanations, slot-price billing periods and rounded term totals are also clearer.
• Understand refunds and account restrictions more easily. Withdrawal estimates explain deductions more accurately and load faster, refunded failed plan changes no longer leave withdrawals blocked, and carried-over debt or credits are handled consistently in refund calculations. Billing notices now describe your account-wide standing rather than implying that paying one invoice necessarily removes every restriction.
• Keep eligible Legacy rental pricing when moving to ZapX. Price protection supports migrated periodically billed services, including subscription billing for VPS migrations. Customers on every ZapX Pass tier can also voluntarily deactivate Lifetime servers while their Pass benefits are usable.
• Find and use eligible discounts more easily. Personal voucher codes appear on the vouchers page, coupon eligibility can distinguish rental from Lifetime purchases, and Stripe coupon redemption is corrected. Review cashback also respects its monthly cap when claims are processed at the same time.

Safer changes and more reliable servers

• Know when a change will restart your service. Gameserver and Discord bot plan changes, bot settings, Marketplace template updates and assistant action cards now explain restart consequences. Template updates ask for confirmation, and assistant configuration changes retain the information that a restart is needed.
• Keep your configuration when editing or switching games. Single-value edits preserve unrelated content and formatting, while returning to an installed game restores its saved startup parameters instead of replacing them with defaults. Required generated secrets, configuration-analysis results and input validation are handled more consistently across the panel, assistant and API.
• Protect backups and in-progress recovery work. Overlapping backup creation, restore, deletion and retention requests no longer compete unchecked. VPS setup retries and recovery of interrupted VPS or gameserver operations also distinguish restores, rollbacks, migrations and game changes from reinstalls, reducing the risk of an unintended reset.
• Browse and install mods with fewer dead ends. Mod, plugin and modpack catalogs continue beyond previous result limits and stay scoped to the active game or variant. Quilt servers can install compatible Fabric builds, large archives extract faster, and long installations or Workshop downloads no longer hit prematurely short restart or download limits.
• Trust server status and resource recommendations more closely. Reachable Minecraft servers no longer receive incorrect port-unreachable startup failures, clean exits are distinguished from crashes, and failed restarts remain stopped. Gameserver downgrades and Scale with Me also respect the active game or variant’s minimum resources.
• Receive the resources you ordered with fewer setup surprises. Capacity checks account for available VPS IPv6 ranges and TeamSpeak voice ports before payment, VPS disks grow to the booked size, and retries or game switches retain allocated network resources. Released addresses have previous reverse-DNS and DDoS exceptions cleared before reuse.
• Keep TeamSpeak management consistent with your plan. Parallel requests are less likely to show a running server as offline or interrupt settings and privilege-key management. Channel-group keys have clearer labels, restores reapply booked slots and ad-free settings, and downgrades warn when more clients are connected than the new slot limit allows.
• Preview how players see your FiveM or RedM server. A new overview card shows your server’s entry from the Cfx.re list, reflecting the name, description, tags and images shown to players rather than relying on local configuration alone.

Stronger privacy and safer shared access

• Read a more focused service activity feed. Customer-visible staff actions appear as “ZAP-Hosting Team” without staff identities or IP addresses. Relevant service changes remain visible, while internal access and inspection actions stay out of the feed.
• Keep more configuration secrets out of AI requests. Password masking now covers credentials inside structured settings such as Palworld configuration tuples, as well as short password keys. This applies to configuration analysis and assistant file-reading workflows.
• Get clearer protection when shared access ends. Owners receive more complete warnings about credentials or persistent in-service access a removed member may retain, and account deletion rotates all supported exposed secrets rather than only the first one found. Reading account-wide VPS SSH keys through MCP now requires account-wide permission.
• Download a more complete personal-data export. Exports cover additional account restrictions, refunds and dispute information, alongside file contents and email bodies. Sensitive internal staff notes remain excluded from the exported free text.

New security checks and practical IT tools

• Get a quick, passive view of a website’s security. Website Security Check assesses exposed software versions and advisories, TLS, security headers, cookies and mail authentication, then presents an overall A–F grade. A separate self-test script helps you check the server itself without turning the public check into a port or vulnerability scan.
• Work out which ports to open and how to open them. The new Well-known Ports & Firewall Commands tool supports ports, ranges, services and games, with ready-to-copy commands and 24 port detail pages. A new Subnetting Practice tool offers exercises with step-by-step solutions.
• Plan IT costs, power and storage requirements. New calculators cover electricity costs, UPS sizing and runtime, and uncompressed image, audio and video file sizes. A decision-matrix tool also supports utility analysis, payback calculations and make-or-buy comparisons.
• Use public tools more comfortably across screen sizes. Long action labels wrap instead of clipping, selected values truncate clearly, and touch targets are easier to use. The Forest map FAQ shows valid coordinates and distances, with refreshed guidance and page descriptions across several tool categories.

A smoother dashboard and daily workflow

• Find and identify your services more easily. Every active Legacy service tile offers “Open in old panel” in a new tab, while dashboard totals correctly say “services” rather than counting domains as servers. The German billing tile also uses consistent “Abrechnung” wording and a clearer empty state.
• Keep your shop choices as you move through checkout. Gameserver, VPS and other configurators retain selections more reliably when pages reload or you return from payment setup. Help-me-choose flows and the About us redirect also receive navigation fixes.
• Reach menus and checkout controls without layout obstacles. The public header menu remains accessible on iOS Safari, checkout cards regain their available width, and discount, support and feedback controls are positioned to avoid covering one another or important save and restart actions.
• Start and deploy ZapX Maker projects with clearer guidance. The redesigned start page introduces project types and example ideas, a “New project” entry is available directly in the active projects list, and deployment dialogs show live progress while a server variant changes.
• Manage affiliate activity in a cleaner dashboard. Activation guidance, referral links and programme pages use a more consistent layout, long tables support pagination, and the public affiliate page points customers to self-service activation. Programme terms can be reviewed directly during activation.
• Read service availability with fewer misleading signals. Brief health-check failures are less likely to produce false sold-out or downtime reports, or prematurely cancel a paid Discord bot order. The public status page also has corrected regional uptime summaries, equal-width uptime bars and breadcrumbs.

More useful APIs and automation

• Manage VPS DDoS protection through the Public API and MCP. New operations provide protection status, rules, incidents, bandwidth and outgoing-attack information, along with a protection toggle.
• Explore orders safely through MCP. New read-only catalog and order-preview tools let you inspect purchase options without placing an order. Preview permissions are aligned with order-view access, and MCP tools describe their capabilities more clearly.
• Build better mobile and shared-account experiences. Service responses expose gameserver and Discord bot permissions so clients can tailor available controls. Discord bot settings are available through REST, missing startup requirements receive specific errors, and unauthorized shared-account actions return permission errors instead of misleading “not found” responses.

Clearer hosting information and multilingual pages

• Explore more hosting information in your language. Docker & App Hosting pages are available in eight additional languages, the English FiveM Element Club page is new, and Beta Testing information gains English and Polish coverage. The Metin2 page also presents current VPS pricing in a refreshed layout.
• Get more consistent product facts and translated content. API pages have broader, aligned language coverage, and blog FAQ, conclusion and summary formatting works across all nine supported languages. Hosting pages better explain bandwidth and backup requirements, database claims reflect the five-per-server limit, and player-capacity descriptions respect each game’s technical maximum.

More reliable support conversations

• Keep automated support moving when you reply by email. Assistant follow-ups can resume correctly for incoming mail and completed diagnostics, handovers avoid repeating the same message, and a new question or “never mind” response is less likely to trigger an unnecessary takeover. Reports of possible data loss are also recognized across more German and English customer wording.
