Faster server access, more games and smarter VPS help

Get to your gameserver faster, install more games on your VPS, and benefit from smarter AI setup, clearer pricing and more reliable moves from Classic.

Your server’s connection details are easier to reach, the Game Server Installer offers more choice, and the VPS assistant can handle more of your setup. This release also improves memory reporting, protects moves from Classic, and makes pricing and support information clearer.

Get into your games faster

  • Connect or open txAdmin straight from the server header. Gameservers with a Web UI now show their connection address, preferred subdomain and Web UI access details together at the top of the overview. Copy controls keep access quick, while passwords retain their existing verification and Streamer Mode protection.
  • Install six more games on Windows. The Game Server Installer now includes Motor Town: Behind The Wheel, Banana Shooter, Battle Grounds III, StarMade, Citadel: Forged With Fire and Heat. The first four require your own Steam account; Citadel receives generated administrator credentials, and Heat supports a save-and-shutdown stop.
  • Choose from more Linux installer games. Minecraft Java, Valheim, SCUM, Icarus and Vein gain installer coverage, alongside eligible VPS-only games with supported builds. SCUM’s first installation is more reliable, and installer cleanup stays limited to the selected instance.
  • Keep worlds safer and recover from crashes more reliably. Project Zomboid gets a 60-second shutdown window to save during Stop or Restart, and out-of-memory crashes are recognised even when a game reports a normal exit. SCUM installation retries improve resilience, while Deadlock gains support for automatically applying new game builds without a manual “Apply update” step.
  • Back up TeamSpeak even while it sleeps. Idle-sleeping servers now receive a backup after falling asleep, and manual backups are available without waking the server first.

More useful, transparent VPS management

  • See more meaningful RAM usage. Memory Ballooning controls now work on VPS services moved from Classic, and moved Windows servers can report guest memory usage while keeping fixed RAM allocation. Monitoring excludes page cache from guest RAM usage, and host-side fallback readings use neutral styling with clearer explanations.
  • Let the AI assistant finish service login setup. When it installs an application, database or protected web interface, it can now set the password through a one-time password card instead of sending you to the console. Windows password changes also give a clearer error when the Administrator account has been renamed.
  • Understand AI access before work begins. Empty assistant chats explain server access and how read-only commands are handled. The assistant also keeps root login blocked when exposing a browser shell publicly and warns that changes inside a One-Click App container can disappear when the Apps tab recreates it.
  • Know when backup storage is temporarily unavailable. VPS backup capacity restrictions are now visible, so you can distinguish a storage-wide limitation from a problem with your own backup instead of repeatedly retrying.
  • Resolve access and reinstall problems with less guesswork. Zappy can check whether your assigned IP address appears on a blocklist. Reinstall requests are also rejected upfront when the host cannot support the selected installation, rather than failing after the process begins.

Safer moves from Classic

  • Avoid FiveM and RedM startup surprises after moving. Transfers recognise your own Cfx.re key in the server configuration and do not carry over shared ZAP keys. Where the key can be checked in advance, missing-key moves stop before the server is frozen; migration tests also check required startup settings and the moved database login.
  • Carry more game-specific requirements across correctly. Supported Source games retain their own Steam login tokens, while CS:GO moves without a token can finish with installation complete and prompt you to enter one before starting. Project Zomboid Build 42 no longer incorrectly requires a Steam account, and SCUM readiness checks wait for the server to finish loading.
  • Keep compatible settings without carrying obsolete files. SA:MP moves preserve filterscripts, plugins and the website address; 7 Days to Die leaves behind obsolete bundled mods that can prevent startup. Never-started Wreckfest servers are handled as empty transfers, and migration test starts use the latest managed build.
  • Follow migration progress with clearer confirmations. Gameserver and Discord bot wizard messages and emails identify the service being moved more clearly. Domain moves show a consistent ZapX “paid until” date and a completion headline that makes the finished state explicit; reachable Legacy app nodes are also eligible for takeover even if their old setup status says failed.
  • Protect time already paid for in Classic. Rental-to-Lifetime conversion is blocked while a migrated service is still within its Classic-paid term, preventing that time from being forfeited. Support-assisted billing currency resets also work for eligible migration Pass trials that were incorrectly blocked.

Clearer prices and ordering

  • Compare current prices in one place. A new public price overview lists ZapX catalog prices across products, and the VPS configurator now suggests a cheaper matching preset package for Lifetime builds as well as rentals.
  • Reach purchased services directly from order details. Dedicated server and ZapX Pass orders now link to their service destinations, matching the shortcuts already available in the order list.

More helpful answers and support

  • Get direct answers backed by verified product information. The Help Center assistant now uses verified product facts as well as help articles, reducing unnecessary referrals to support. Zappy can also quote ZapX Pass prices in a requested currency alongside your account’s billing currency.
  • Keep support conversations moving. Incoming support email handling retries more delivery failures and records messages that could not be retrieved. Conversations can return to Zappy after a supporter replies, and support can review and clear FiveM or RedM resource-scan false alarms for an individual server.
  • Read help and AI conversations more easily. Help Center sidebars show all top-level articles when space allows, and voucher buttons use consistent emphasis. AI chat masking no longer mistakenly hides ordinary links, URLs, Pass prices or harmless feature names in chat titles.

More accurate pages and everyday polish

  • Understand the terms before ordering. Product information more clearly distinguishes included daily automatic backups from Pass-only backup management, explains that Lifetime services require an active recurring ZapX Pass, and avoids cancellation wording that implies every rental has a monthly term.
  • See game features that match what you can order. VPS game pages only promise one-click installation where a supported installer exists and avoid recommending unavailable managed gameservers. Minecraft modpack pages reflect automatic installation of the preselected pack, while Tebex information is limited to supported server types.
  • Compare offers with fewer misleading claims. Pricing guidance uses current catalog amounts and the cheapest displayed package for “from” prices, while retired package names are kept out of product copy. VPS location information specifies Europe and America, and Don’t Starve Together information no longer implies support for a separate caves world.
  • Use public tools more comfortably on smaller screens. Configuration reference tables stack instead of scrolling sideways on phones, tablets and narrow layouts. Minecraft Potion Chart and QR code generator information receives factual corrections, and server-rental figures on four tool pages now use the current count.
  • Enjoy a more consistent look across the site. The homepage gains a redesigned Facts & Figures showcase, domain and marketplace pages receive cleaner layouts, dark console and payment areas use consistent styling, and links inside information notices are easier to recognise.
  • Find more content in your language. A Spanish reviews page is now available at zap-hosting.com/es/opiniones, alongside refreshed translations across the panel.
