Introduction
Are you interested in a StarRupture game server or already have one, but still need a comprehensive overview of its administration and where to find all the necessary options? This can be challenging, especially at first. But don’t worry—we’ll walk you through managing your service below so you can get the best possible overview.
After completing this guide, you’ll be able to manage your server efficiently and find all the important options and features quickly and easily. This structured overview will help you get familiar with server management step by step and expand your knowledge in a focused way. That way, you can make sure your StarRupture game server is perfectly tailored to your needs and get the most out of the available options.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The dashboard is your cockpit: check your server status, copy the IP:port with one click, and view live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. You can also start, stop, or restart your server from here.
In the Configuration tab, an AI automatically scans your server files and turns the relevant settings into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic, with explanations. Alternatively, you can edit the raw text view of the configuration file directly.
The ZapX AI Agent is included with every ZapX Pass. You can chat with it to read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. It asks for your approval before making changes and never acts on its own.
Using the DDoS Manager requires either a dedicated IP address or the “DDoS Manager Overview” add-on. If your plan doesn’t include either, you can add one at any time by upgrading.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: check your server status, copy the IP:port with one click, and view live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct “Upgrade” button if you’re running low on resources. From here, you can start, stop, or restart your StarRupture game server and keep an eye on the most important metrics.
Configuration
Manually searching through configuration files is a thing of the past: under Configuration, an 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. Prefer the traditional approach? Open the raw text view of the configuration file directly. Both options are available in the same view. You’ll also find options to switch your game or start an update to the latest version here (learn more about switching games in our Game Switch Guide).
DNS
Under DNS, you’ll automatically get a free, easy-to-remember address for your server. You can also create additional subdomains or connect one of your own domains.
ZapX AI Agent
With ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent by your side—your personal on-demand server admin. Chat with it to read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. Any action that changes your server is submitted to you for approval first—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always stay in full control.
Managing 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.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create your own databases, view their credentials at a glance, and open them directly in phpMyAdmin.
Operations and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal, including an AI-generated command palette tailored specifically to your game.
Warning
Stuck on an error message or don’t understand it? No worries! Just start a support chat in your ZapX customer account and describe your issue in as much detail as possible. We’ll take a look as soon as we can and help you resolve it! :)
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup to fall back on. With ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup contains a complete version snapshot, so you can return to exactly that state. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on a schedule you choose.
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: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max. 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, create a backup (with ZapX Pass Pro or higher), or run your own command—on a set schedule or using your own cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you can monitor your server’s resource usage—CPU, RAM, disk, and network traffic—over a time period of your choice.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what has happened on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes and every backup. You’ll also find information about outages affecting the host system your service runs on. For the latest service status, visit our status page.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic live in a chart and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth.
Info
Using the DDoS Manager requires either a dedicated IP address or the “DDoS Manager Overview” add-on. If your current plan doesn’t include either, you can add one at any time by upgrading your service.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all the sections of your StarRupture game server management panel in ZapX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
