Introduction

Ordering a service at ZAP-Hosting takes just a few steps — from choosing a product in the shop to having a running instance in your web interface. This guide explains the steps involved and what to keep in mind.

Preparation

To place an order, you need a ZAP-Hosting account (see the guide “Registering with ZAP-Hosting”) and a saved payment method, or one you can use directly at checkout.

Choose a product and configuration

Choose the product you want in the shop (e.g., a game server, VPS, dedicated server, TeamSpeak, domain, or web hosting) and configure it — depending on the product, this might include selecting a game, plan size, location, or term. This step is called Configuration at checkout.

Go to checkout

In the next step, Checkout, review your order, choose a payment method (e.g., credit card or PayPal), and click Place order to complete your purchase. If your account already has enough credit, it will automatically be applied to the order.

Info

For some products that aren’t immediately available, the button instead says Pre-order now — your order will only be charged once the product is available.

After placing your order

Once your payment is successful, your service will be set up automatically and appear under My Services in your web interface — for most products, this takes just a few seconds to a few minutes. You can find your order invoice under Billing → Invoices.
