Navigation
7 Days to Die
Controls
Overview
The Overview is your control center: check your server status, copy your IP:port with one click, and see live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more resources. If your game supports live queries, you can also see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, without any external tools.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZAPX detects it automatically in the background and updates your Overview for you. You don’t have to reload the page manually to see the actual status.
Configuration
Manually searching through configuration files is a thing of the past: under Configuration, AI automatically scans your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and turns them into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic—with an explanation for each parameter. Critical values are marked with a "Caution" notice to help prevent you from accidentally taking your server offline. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file instead—both options are available in the same view.
After you save, ZAPX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent by your side—your personal on-demand server admin. You can chat with it to read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. Any action that changes something on your server is presented to you for confirmation first—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always stay in full control.
Manage your content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser. Upload files with drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You’ll also find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, with one-click password rotation if you need to update them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, open your databases directly in phpMyAdmin, or export the database structure with one click. You can mark a database as primary. For added security, you’ll need to enter the database name again to delete it.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every section of your 7 Days to Die server management in ZAPX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that quietly have your back in the background.
Server hosting from €2.49 / month, online instantly, DDoS protection included.
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal. Here’s what makes it special: ZAPX uses AI to automatically generate a command palette tailored to your game, divided into categories such as administration, gameplay, and chat—with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling due to low memory, the console detects this automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup without having to remember to create one yourself. With the ZapX Pass, the Backups section gives you even more control: create, restore, and download backups with one click. Each backup includes a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever you need to. Restores include a live progress indicator, and the server is stopped only briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on a schedule you choose.
Tip
ZapX Pass Plus includes 1, Pro includes 3, and Max includes 5 custom backup slots per server. See all the benefits on the ZapX Pass page. There’s also an account-wide storage limit for all backups of your services combined, daily backups included: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max. If you need more space, you can add extra backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.
Schedules
Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks: start, stop, or restart your server, create a backup (with ZapX Pass Pro or higher), or run a custom command. Choose from handy presets like "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or set up your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, keep an eye on your server’s resource usage. Choose a time range from 1 hour to 30 days and view CPU, RAM, disk, network traffic, and your player count in relation to your purchased slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what has happened on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and every console command. You can always see when something was changed and what it was.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic live in a chart and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth. ZAPX automatically learns which ports and services belong to your server and filters traffic accordingly. If you have your own IP address, you can customize the protection settings as well.
