Guided shopping, flexible dedicated builds and smarter assistance

Choosing your next server is easier with Zappy’s shop-wide advisor and more transparent dedicated server configuration. This release also brings immediate ZapX Pass reductions with credit, more useful AI assistance, and fixes for backups, queued orders and everyday dashboard workflows.

Find the right hosting with confidence

• Get help choosing any shop product or ZapX Pass. Zappy’s refreshed advisor lets you select answers and, where relevant, enter a number to start a conversation tailored to your needs.
• Build a dedicated server with prices you can follow. Starting prices now reflect the cheapest orderable build, custom configurations show exact totals, and options show their price differences. Changing RAM also preserves your later storage and network choices where possible.
• Configure dedicated servers more comfortably on any screen. Processor tables and tier cards fit different languages and screen sizes, selected RAM, storage and network surcharges are easier to see, and configuration changes no longer trigger automatic scrolling.
• Know what to expect at busy locations. Capacity notices now describe high utilization rather than popularity, full locations appear on landing cards and the TeamSpeak map, and paid queued orders remain visible in product lists. TeamSpeak instance moves to full locations also use the capacity queue.

Clearer billing and Pass changes

• Reduce your ZapX Pass immediately and receive credit for unused time. Tier downgrades apply the lower limits straight away, so Lifetime servers above those limits are locked without deleting their data. Dedicated Lifetime slot reductions also take effect immediately, cannot go below slots in use, and remain correctly listed in order descriptions after tier changes.
• Use the right country for tax after moving from Classic. Customers without a billing profile now have their Legacy country taken into account instead of incorrectly falling back to German VAT.

More useful AI help

• Get migration advice that matches your rented VPS. Support now distinguishes rental moves from Lifetime moves, correctly explains that rental moves need neither a ZapX Pass nor a Lifetime slot, and points to the dedicated rental-migration article. The assistant can also identify Classic-interface game servers associated with a moved VPS instead of asking you to list them again.
• Choose and manage One-Click Apps with more consistent guidance. Assistants retain previously checked app details across follow-up messages, recognize Pterodactyl as an available One-Click App, and give clearer recommendations when you want one panel for several services. General VPS prompt presets also remain available alongside app categories.
• Get more actionable server troubleshooting. Zappy can recognize gameserver restart loops, explain which stopped Windows services are normal, and offer safer cleanup steps for a full VPS disk. The long-chat cost tip now waits until at least your third question instead of appearing after a single question.
• Understand your AI allowance before choosing an upgrade. Upgrade dialogs show quota information, recommendations avoid options with no tokens, and support can check your allowance. Usage from before the quota launch no longer counts against it.
• Trust clearer distinctions between official news and outside commentary. The assistant no longer presents third-party reviews or forum posts as official ZAP announcements.
• Get a clearer first version from FiveM Maker. Broad requests such as log systems or admin menus come with a defined initial scope. Generated damage and death logging uses server-side events for attacker and weapon information instead of relying only on health changes.

More reliable service management

• Keep backup results and restored settings consistent. A completed VPS backup is no longer discarded because its archive details are temporarily unavailable. After a TeamSpeak backup restore, the panel’s stored server name and join-password information now match the restored snapshot.
• See current Minecraft Bedrock crossplay guidance. The update warning now explains that Bedrock 26.60 already requires NetherNet and that outdated setups cannot accept those players, rather than describing the change as upcoming.

Faster pages and everyday polish

• Reach public pages with less waiting. Landing-page content can appear sooner, with lighter styling and less startup work across the site. The gameserver hub, Minecraft landing page and tools hub receive targeted loading improvements.
• Read reviews with more context. Public review cards show reviewer pictures and ZAP’s Trustpilot replies, while reviews signed with ZAP brand names are hidden to avoid looking like self-authored testimonials.
• Read marketing-link results without sideways scrolling. The dashboard uses a table only when its card has enough room, wraps long link identifiers, and formats large counts with thousands separators.
• See more consistent language across the site. One-Click App names localize connecting words such as “with,” the VPS landing-page firewall preview uses the correct firewall labels, and reviewed translation corrections and newly translated interface text improve multilingual pages.
• Use landing-page links and buttons without an overlapping order notification. The order ticker now waits until you scroll beyond the first screen and stays clear of interactive elements.
