Automobilista 2
Management
Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:port details you can copy with one click, and 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 even 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 on its own—you don't need 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 clear, thematically grouped form fields—with an explanation for each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice, so you don't accidentally bring your server to a halt. If you prefer the traditional approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file—both options are available in the same view.
After you save, ZAPX offers to restart the server right away so your changes take effect immediately.
DNS
Under DNS, you automatically get a free, easy-to-remember address for your server. You can also create up to 3 additional subdomains or connect one of your own domains. When you connect your own domain, ZAPX automatically sets up the required DNS records for you, including detecting the correct port for your game. You can mark a domain as "Preferred" so it appears throughout the dashboard as your main address.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal on-demand server admin. In chat, it can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, display or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. Before it makes any changes to your server, it asks for your confirmation—the AI Agent never takes action on its own, so you always stay in full control.
Manage Content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser—you can upload files using drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You'll find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, including a one-click password rotation option if you want to update them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, or export the structure with one click. You can mark a database as primary—to delete one, you must re-enter its name for security.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every section of your Automobilista 2 server management in ZAPX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that 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, organized into categories such as administration, gameplay, or chat—with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling due to low memory, the console detects it 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, Backups gives you additional control: create, restore, and download backups with one click. Each backup contains a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to that exact state whenever you need to. Restoring a backup includes 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
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1; with Pro, 3; and with Max, 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: Plus 250 GB, Pro 500 GB, and Max 1,000 GB. 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 the server; create a backup (with ZapX Pass Pro or higher); or run a custom command. Choose from convenient presets such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or create your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you can 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 booked slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what has happened on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and console commands. You can always see when something was changed and what was changed.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic in a live 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 a dedicated IP address, you can even customize the protection.
