Canadian VPS
Canadian VPS
ZAP
Thank you for your suggestion! At the moment, we don't plan to offer VPS in Canada. We're currently focusing on expanding our existing location.
Indian Location Suggestion
Zap Hosting’s performance is really great, but I have a small suggestion: please support Indian locations for VPS servers. Zap Hosting is very popular here—many people I’ve met know about it, and we would all love to…
ZAP
Thank you for your suggestion and for the kind words about our performance. We looked at your idea carefully. For now, we want to focus on our existing locations, so no new locations are planned at the moment. We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.
Storage Limit for WI
I would like to be able to specify how much storage it contains when I create a game server with the Web interface on my server
ZAP
This was about the game server web interface of our old panel, which doesn't exist in ZapX. When you order a ZapX game server you can choose the storage size yourself in the custom configuration, so we're closing this one.
Dedicated Server Locations
Dedicated Servers need more locations instead just Germany for example USA Central , USA Eastern and USA Western and other locations for dedicated servers would be nice
ZAP
Thank you for your suggestion! We've reviewed it, but we currently have no plans to expand our dedicated server offering to additional locations beyond our existing ones. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
Shadow Restore: Test Backups Without Overwriting Live Servers
Restoring a backup currently overwrites the live server, which is risky. Users often want to verify a backup or test fixes before affecting production servers (e.g. FiveM, Minecraft). You may Add a Shadow Restore…
ZAP
Thank you for the detailed idea. We want to keep our backup function simple, so that it focuses on easy creating and restoring of backups, and we therefore won't be adding a clone or shadow restore mode. If you have more specific requirements, it may make sense to use our AI Assistant to build your own backup setup tailored to your needs.
Server Migration
Ability to move all server data to a new dedicated server for example if i buy a new dedicated server it would be like taking a drive out of one and putting it in the new dedicated server where all data would be on the…
ZAP
Thank you for your idea! We've reviewed it, but we don't plan to implement a built-in migration function like this, as it would only be needed very rarely. For special situations, you can contact our support team, who will then decide whether swapping the drives together with their data is possible.
ARM-based Dedicated Servers as an optional configuration /RaspberryPi
Alongside traditional x86 servers, an optional offering of ARM-based dedicated servers or custom configurations could be of interest. This offering would be aimed specifically at developers, learning projects, and…
ZAP
Vielen Dank für deinen Vorschlag und die ausführliche Beschreibung. Wir setzen ein eigenes ARM-Angebot aktuell nicht um, denn im Dedicated-Konfigurator können bereits Wunschkonfigurationen angefragt werden. Wenn du magst, kannst du dort also direkt eine ARM-Basis für dein Projekt anfragen.
More Database Options
Currently, there are unfortunately only MariaDB available for databases, but often you need PostgreSQL or MongoDB, which is why it would be really helpful to be able to select these as well. (For example, I want to run…
ZAP
We no longer offer web hosting in ZapX, so we're closing this one. If you need PostgreSQL or MongoDB, a ZapX VPS gives you full control to run any database you like.
More Premium Backup Storage Options
More Option for Premium Backup like 500GB, 1TB or something
ZAP
ZapX no longer has a separate premium backup storage product. Backups are built in and the number of backup slots depends on your ZapX Pass tier, so we're closing this one.
FTP user permissions
I would like to see some separate FTP permissions to game folders. I don’t see much potential for this for Gameservers specifically (service), so this could be implemented for VPS and Dedicated server services, so we…
ZAP
This was about the old vServer game installer. On a ZapX VPS you have full root access, so you can create separate SFTP users with their own folders yourself, and for game servers you can share access with team members. Closing this one.
Web Hosting Expansion
It would be great if ZAP expanded its web hosting locations to more regions like Singapore. Lower latency would make a big difference for users in Asia. Also, right now only Plesk is offered, adding cPanel as an option…
ZAP
We no longer offer web hosting in ZapX, so we're closing this one. If you need a server closer to you, check the available locations for our VPS and game servers.
Enable Direct Backups to Google Drive / OneDrive
I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows users to directly back up their servers to cloud storage services, such as Google Drive or OneDrive, without needing to manually download files through the…
ZAP
Thank you for your suggestion. We have completely reworked the backup structure for the new ZapX panel. It now runs much more efficiently and reliably, so the problems you describe should no longer occur in this form. For a one-time export, you can download your files directly via SFTP. For this reason, we are not implementing direct cloud backups as a feature.
Secure ZAP-Storage
Upgrade the ZAP-Storage server to allow for the use of secure protocols. It’s nice that the FTP server is set up to use a password, but FTP does NOT encrypt the login credentials you use when logging in. I suggest using…
ZAP
ZAP-Storage isn't part of ZapX, so we're closing this one.
Implementation of the backup panel (like for game servers) also for web spaces
The existing backup system of the game servers could also be implemented for the web spaces. This would create the following advantages: Increased data security: Websites and web systems could be automatically backed…
ZAP
We no longer offer webspace/web hosting in ZapX, so we're closing this one. If you want to host websites with backups, a ZapX VPS with scheduled backups and snapshots is the way to go.
