Introduction
You've rented a Counter-Strike 1.6 game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZAPX? This guide takes you through your server's management panel and shows you how much time the built-in automation and AI support can save you in your daily administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The Overview shows your server status, IP:port that you can copy with one click, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. If the game supports live queries, you'll also see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard.
No. If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZapX detects it automatically in the background and updates your Overview for you.
In the Configuration tab, AI automatically scans your server files and turns the relevant settings into clear, grouped form fields with explanations. Critical values are marked with a caution notice. Alternatively, you can edit the configuration file in raw text view.
You can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, with direct phpMyAdmin access and an export option for each.
The ZapX AI Agent is included with every ZapX Pass. It can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, display or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates through chat. It asks for your confirmation before making changes and never acts on its own.

Overview
The Overview is your control panel: server status, IP:port 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'll 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 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 translates them into clear, thematically grouped form fields—including an explanation for each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice, so you don't accidentally take your server offline. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file directly—both options are available in the same view.
After saving, ZAPX will offer to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal on-demand server admin. You can use chat to have it read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, display or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. 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 remain in full control.
Manage 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, including 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 databases directly in phpMyAdmin, or export their structure with a click. You can mark one database as the primary database. To delete a database, you'll need to re-enter its name for security.
Operation and maintenance
Console
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 specifically 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 on hand without having to remember to create one yourself. With the ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup includes a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever needed. 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 needed, 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 and above), or run a custom command. Choose from handy presets such as "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 relative to your purchased slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and every console command. This makes it easy to see what changed and when.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic live in a graph 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.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all the sections of your Counter-Strike 1.6 server management panel in ZAPX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that run quietly in the background.
Server hosting from €2.49 / month, online instantly, DDoS protection included.
