Ready-to-use VPS rescue and clearer server diagnostics
Recover your VPS with ready-to-use rescue access, get clearer server diagnostics, and manage plans and billing with fewer interruptions across your services.
Recover files without typing rescue-console commands, understand why your game server is missing from the server list, and get clearer feedback from AI diagnostics. This release also improves plan management, protects existing app logins, and introduces a tool for creating email authentication records.
Diagnose problems with clearer guidance
- See what is happening with AI server diagnostics. Game server and VPS diagnosis reports are more reliable, and confirmation cards now show status and failures instead of remaining on “Confirmed” indefinitely.
- Find out why your FiveM or RedM server is missing from the server list. A new on-demand checklist for FiveM, FiveM Enhanced and RedM checks whether the server is running, whether players can reach its game port, whether txAdmin setup is complete, and whether a Cfx.re license key is missing or accepted, with a suggested fix for each open issue.
- Get more accurate help setting up self-hosted apps. The VPS assistant asks which email address should own an app account, provides the correct connection URL including its port, and closes registration after the account is created.
- Receive guidance that better matches your needs. ZapX Maker explains when a request is for server hosting or setup rather than code creation. Customer Success recommendations can also account for connected MCP apps and existing API access, avoiding unnecessary setup instructions.
- Avoid interruptions during reinstalls and migrations. Game server reinstalls can recover from shared-port conflicts after a protocol change, while Legacy Minecraft moves retain the server configuration needed to start the correct server type and version.
Manage plans and payments with more confidence
- Reach billing directly from your current plan. The “Current plan” card now links to the associated order and subscription, with a route back to your service. Eligible dedicated servers can also use the on-page Lifetime conversion flow when IP changes are unavailable.
- Dedicated checkout handles more order combinations. Shared dedicated-server configurations with a booked domain no longer leave checkout without prices or a working order flow. Combined Dedicated Lifetime orders can include a ZapX Pass and one Lifetime slot on the same invoice as the hardware, although the standard shop still requires an existing Pass.
- See more accurate subscription and withdrawal information. Subscription details follow the latest billing state, and withdrawal estimates reflect the order’s own eligible credit, qualifying renewals and converted Pass trials. Order details show estimated and completed refunds; when the amount paid cannot be established, automatic withdrawal confirmation is disabled rather than offering an unsupported refund amount.
Recover your VPS and protect existing apps
- Start VPS recovery with SFTP ready to use. Rescue mode now prepares networking, SSH and a root password automatically, so you can connect without first entering console commands.
- Keep your existing Coolify login when activating One-Click Apps. Activation no longer overwrites the root account’s email address or password. For taken-over installations, the panel clearly identifies unknown passwords, explains public-panel access, and can use the server IP to assess health when hostname checks are unavailable.
- Preserve more of your Coolify setup during eligible Legacy moves. Migration support covers existing apps and matching zap.cloud hostnames, adoption retries, and clearer consent for Coolify access changes. This rollout remains disabled by default; it does not automatically migrate existing customers.
- Install Hoppscotch, Superset and AppFlowy more reliably. Repairs to their One-Click Apps templates address setup problems, including AppFlowy appearing degraded despite the app working.
Keep hosted services safer
- Stop infected FiveM and RedM resources before they run. Resources are scanned before every server start, and infected resources are disabled.
- Suspected crypto-mining activity receives human review. Detection covers game servers, Discord bots and VPS mining-pool connections. These signals do not automatically lock or suspend services or send customer emails, and VPS checks do not access the guest system.
Create email records and find useful tools
- Build SPF, DKIM and DMARC records in one place. The new email authentication record generator includes provider presets, SPF validation and an apply-to-domain flow. DKIM keys are generated in your browser, and the private key is never sent.
- Find tools through clearer multilingual descriptions. Copy and search descriptions have been refreshed across Discord utilities, FiveM tools, Minecraft’s AI Plugin Maker, server configuration generators, CS2 tools and the Core Keeper map viewer, alongside developer, timestamp, color and accessibility utilities.
Clearer information across the website
- Understand Lifetime terms and ZAP-Hosting’s history more easily. The About Us page adds company milestones and clarifies the Cfx.re partnership. Its Lifetime FAQ explains that servers are not deleted for inactivity, when Pass or slot availability can cause a lock, and how retained data and automatic unlocking work.
- Find more relevant partnership information. Business partnership pages now speak more clearly to studios, publishers and platforms, while Swedish affiliate wording uses the more recognizable “Affiliateprogram” terminology.
- Read more consistent, published content. Public landing pages no longer show unpublished drafts when no published version is available. Translation updates and stronger French and Spanish wording checks also improve language consistency.
