Flexible payments and smarter server support
Manage saved payment methods more flexibly, link services to support tickets faster, and get more reliable help with Minecraft modpacks and server setup.
Keep subscription payments under your control, give support the right service context faster, and get more reliable help managing your servers. This release also makes ordering, mobile onboarding, and everyday navigation more consistent.
More control over payments and checkout
- Choose how subscriptions use saved payment methods. Subscriptions can follow your account default or keep a specific payment method, and methods that a subscription still depends on cannot be deleted. Failed renewals never automatically charge a different saved card; for subscriptions following your default, a card used to rescue the invoice becomes the new account default.
- Review purchases with fewer surprises. Post-purchase recommendations now show prices in your selected currency, the domain checkout card keeps a consistent highlight while you scroll, and ZapX Pass question-mark tooltips work on mobile.
- Avoid indefinitely pending domain linking after a failed order. When a product order in a combined checkout has permanently failed, its domain-linking attempt now stops promptly instead of repeatedly retrying and remaining pending.
Support with the right context
- Find and link services in one search. The support resource picker searches across all your service categories without a separate category-selection step. New tickets started from a service page automatically link to that service, and the compact support widget makes the selection easier to review or remove.
- Get more grounded answers from the support AI. For questions about ZAP-Hosting, products, prices, requirements, or policies, the assistant is instructed to consult the Help Center first and acknowledge uncertainty or escalate rather than guess.
- Find TeamSpeak help more easily. The TeamSpeak product card and homepage quicklink are restored in the Help Center, with consistent TeamSpeak naming throughout.
More reliable server management
- Ask the gameserver assistant to find and install Minecraft modpacks properly. It can search for specific packs and use the supported installation flow, including when Minecraft is already installed, instead of attempting an incomplete manual download.
- Experience fewer VPS setup and display errors. Traffic tracking handles servers that are not yet provisioned, setup respects host CPU limits, and activity timestamps display reliably when you open the page.
- Handle unavailable gameserver downloads cleanly. Missing downloads no longer trigger an unhandled error.
Easier browsing and ordering
- Reach your gameserver configuration faster. Game cards on the homepage and gameserver hub now link directly to the shop configurator. English purchase buttons use more consistent hosting wording, and the Lifetime toggle has corrected highlight styling.
- Compare gameserver locations at a glance. The location picker presents flags, city names, and ping in a compact row, with aligned ping badges and less redundant text in the location list.
- Discover self-hosted apps alongside the other tools. The directory is easier to reach from the footer and VPS pages, its previous address redirects to the new location, and apps without a managed landing page lead to the appropriate localized VPS overview.
- Browse landing pages without unnecessary gaps or dead ends. Short FAQ lists make better use of the available width, and seven renamed legacy shop pages redirect to their published equivalents.
A more comfortable dashboard experience
- Complete onboarding without controls getting in the way. Mobile guides no longer overlap sidebar tap targets, and the Discord Bot welcome guide no longer blocks saving settings on other tabs.
- Recognize accounts and notifications more easily. TeamSpeak and Discord Bot purchase notifications use their brand logos, linked Steam accounts show a recognizable Steam icon, and clicking a notification reliably opens its destination instead of only dismissing it.
