Purpur support, new server tools and easier service management

This release brings more ways to build and manage your servers, from Minecraft Purpur support and creative tools to storage and network planning. Everyday tasks also get easier with more discoverable dashboard tools, clearer ZapX Pass pricing and fewer interruptions in the mobile app.

More possibilities for Minecraft

• Purpur joins the supported Minecraft server types. Support includes synced release versions and access to compatible Paper, Spigot and Bukkit plugins through the plugin browser and installer.
• Turn images into Minecraft pixel art and map art. The free Pixel Art Generator offers version-aware block selection and data pack export, both as a standalone tool and in your gameserver dashboard. Images stay in your browser, with no upload required.
• Run and manage Minecraft servers more reliably. Velocity now uses the Java version required by its release, kicking players works correctly on Spigot and Paper, FTB modpack icons display properly, and FTB packs that failed startup testing are left out of the catalog.

New tools for planning and setup

• Plan storage and networks before you deploy. The new RAID Calculator estimates usable capacity, overhead and fault tolerance across common RAID levels and JBOD, with warnings for invalid configurations. The Subnet Calculator now converts between CIDR notation and IP ranges and supports address export; both tools run entirely in your browser.
• Check whether a website is offline. The new free Website Down Checker gives you a dedicated tool for checking site availability.
• Install more Windows game servers. The game installer adds 12 more games, covering Source and GoldSrc titles, Windrose, Automobilista 2, Wreckfest, Don't Starve Together and truck simulators.

Easier day-to-day service management

• Find every dashboard tool more easily. Gameserver, VPS and Dedicated Server toolbars now scroll, with edge fades and navigation arrows making tools beyond the visible area easier to discover.
• Reach apps from the right destination. VPS menu app links now open the relevant product page or fall back to the VPS shop. The VPS and Dedicated Server app-catalog links take you directly to installable one-click apps.
• Adjust additional VPS IPs without getting stuck. The plan-change slider now lets you return the additional IPv4 count to zero after opening the dialog with an extra IP preselected.
• Get clearer feedback during Dedicated Server installation tasks. Custom ISO imports now report real progress. Reinstall, wipe and ISO actions also return clearer responses when required hardware, a primary IP or remote-management support is unavailable, or when an ISO cannot be deleted.
• Recover from gameserver setup problems more predictably. Reinstalling or syncing ports can replace automatically assigned ports that conflict with Legacy services. Incompatible Minecraft configurations stop without repeated retries, and DNS updates mark affected records as failed rather than aborting the entire sync when the DNS service is unavailable.

Clearer billing and safer account workflows

• See the correct ZapX Pass renewal price. The dashboard uses the live subscription renewal amount, and Pass upgrades bundled with Lifetime orders keep the tier, order amounts and descriptions aligned across the dashboard, order list, invoices and cancellation emails.
• Use mobile app flows with fewer interruptions and explicit marketing choices. In-app browser sessions no longer repeatedly show the cookie banner or load Google Tag Manager. Promotional push notifications require separate marketing consent, without changing transactional notifications.
• Reach migration and login flows more reliably. Eligible Legacy Lifetime VPS migration customers can access their migration journey through the preview gate. Opening the login-completion page without an active session now redirects correctly to login.
• Receive a more carefully scoped personal-data export. Exports better separate your information from other people's data, including shared-service and reused-email cases, while filtering credentials, internal details and staff-only content from exported conversations.

Better browsing and finishing touches

• Find and read blog content more comfortably. The blog gains pagination, relevance-based search, popular posts and mobile filters. Articles offer clearer section navigation and improved typography, tables, images and special content blocks.
• Explore hosting options more easily across languages. Gameserver, VPS and Dedicated Server pages gain broader translated coverage. Gameserver pages add Minecraft and FiveM server-list banners and remove the AI Plugin & Mod Studio strip, Discord bot pages use consistent entrance animations, and Nextcloud guide links point to the intended destination.
• Recognize modpacks and game variants at a glance. Pages, server cards, the server switcher, shop and navigation can show artwork specific to a modpack or variant where available, while retaining the game's artwork as a fallback.
• Read key interface elements more clearly. Destructive database-action buttons have better contrast, service-sharing components follow the selected theme, the API page preserves its localized call-to-action text, and the CS2 Launch Options page removes review claims and per-statement Valve attributions.
