Introduction
You've rented a Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZAPX? This guide takes you through your server's product management from start to finish—and shows you how much work ZAPX takes off your hands when managing your server day to day.
Important
Before your server can start for the first time, you'll need a server token from your own Bannerlord account. Our guide Create a server token shows you how.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Controls
Overview
The Overview is your control center: check your server status, use the start, stop, and restart buttons, and monitor live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more resources. Copy your server address with one click, but to find it in-game, search for its name in the Custom Server List.
Below, you'll find the Server Dashboard card. Select Open Web UI to launch your Bannerlord server's web interface in your browser. ZAPX displays the corresponding password right beside it. Learn more in our Server Dashboard guide.
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
Under Configuration, the Startup Parameters category lets you set everything important without entering commands: server name, server token, game mode, map, the cultures of both teams, and server and admin passwords. Choose the game mode and cultures from a list, and easily spot required fields such as the server token. After you save, ZAPX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal on-demand server admin. Chat with it to read and analyze your console log, browse and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. Before making any changes to your server, the AI Agent asks for your confirmation. It never takes action on its own, so you always stay in 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 the custom_server_config.txt file here for your custom server commands. Your SFTP credentials for external programs such as FileZilla or WinSCP are in the same tab, along with a one-click password rotation option if you need to update them.
Operation and Maintenance
Console
The Console displays your server's live output. For Bannerlord, it only displays logs and doesn't accept commands. You can see the name, game mode, and map your server starts with, whether it was able to authenticate with your token, and where an error occurs. Run admin commands in-game through the admin panel or in the Server Dashboard.
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you'll always have a recent backup 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. Restores include a live progress indicator, and the server only stops briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, you can even schedule backups to run automatically.
Tip
ZapX Pass Plus gives you 1, Pro gives you 3, and Max gives you 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 the server, or create a backup (available with ZapX Pass Pro and above). Choose a convenient preset such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or create your own schedule with a custom cron expression. For example, a daily restart automatically clears all bans set through the admin panel.
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, and network traffic. This makes it easy to see whether large battles need more resources.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes and every backup. You can always see what changed and when.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every area of your Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord game server in ZAPX—from startup parameters to automatic backups that have you covered in the background.
