Introduction
You rented a Myth of Empires 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 and shows you how much time the built-in automation and AI support can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The Overview is your dashboard: server status, an IP:Port you can copy with one click, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. You can also start, stop, or restart your server from here.
Go to Configuration and open Startup Parameters. There, you can edit the Server Name, Server Password, and Map fields. After you save, ZapX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect.
With the ZapX Pass, the ZapX AI Agent can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your SFTP credentials, and suggest updates through chat. It asks for your confirmation before taking any action that changes your server.
No. The Myth of Empires console is read-only: you can view your server's live output, but you can't enter commands there.
Go to the Workshop tab and enter your mods' Workshop IDs or links. ZapX downloads them the next time you start your server.

Overview
The Overview is your dashboard: 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. This is also where you start, stop, or restart your server.
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 turns them into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic—with 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 traditional approach, open a file in raw text view using Edit directly—both options are available in the same view.
For Myth of Empires, you'll find the most important settings here under Startup Parameters, including Server Name, Server Password, Map, PvP Mode, Max. Players, and Admin IDs. For details about the available values and what they do, see our Server Configuration guide.
After you save, ZapX gives you the option to restart the server right away so your changes take effect immediately.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you get 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, show or reset your SFTP credentials, and suggest updates. Any action that changes 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 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 can find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, including one-click password rotation if you ever need to change your password.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view credentials at a glance, open a database directly in phpMyAdmin, or export its structure with one click. You can mark a database as primary. For security, you'll need to enter the database name again to delete it.
Workshop
Under Workshop, you can manage your server's Steam Workshop mods: enter Workshop IDs or links, deactivate or remove mods individually, and copy the entire mod list with one click. ZapX downloads the mods the next time you start your server. For step-by-step instructions, see our Install Mods guide.
Save Games
Under Save Games, you'll find a dedicated file manager limited to your save game folder. You only see what you need, without having to navigate through the entire server file tree. For Myth of Empires, this is the Saved/SaveGames folder, which contains your world and player data. For details on backing up and uploading your own save games, see our Manage Save Games guide.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all the sections of your Myth of Empires game server management in ZapX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background. Next, connect to your server as described in our Connect to the Server guide. If you have any other questions, our support team is available every day! 🙂
Server hosting from €2.49 / month, online instantly, DDoS protection included.
The Console shows your server's live output in a real terminal. For Myth of Empires, the console is read-only, so you can't enter commands there. If your server starts struggling due to insufficient memory, the console detects it automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
Info
Myth of Empires loads a very large map at startup. It can therefore take a few minutes for your server to start fully. You can see the startup progress in the console.
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, you also get full control under Backups: 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 if needed. Restoring a backup includes a live progress indicator, and the server is only stopped briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on your own schedule.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1 custom backup slot per server; with Pro, 3; and with Max, 5. 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 purchase additional backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.
Schedules
Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks: start, stop, or restart your server, or create a backup (available with ZapX Pass Pro and above). Custom console commands aren't available here because the Myth of Empires console is read-only. Choose from handy presets like "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or set your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Tip
It's best to schedule automatic restarts for times when no one is playing. Your server needs a few minutes to load after restarting, so it won't be reachable during that time.
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, and network traffic.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes and every backup. This lets you see exactly when changes were made.
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 even configure the protection individually.
