FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:Port for one-click copying, and live usage of CPU, RAM, disk, and network. From here, you can start, stop, or restart your server.
In the Configuration tab, an AI automatically scans your server files and translates relevant settings into understandable, grouped form fields with explanations. Alternatively, you can edit the raw configuration file directly.
It can read and analyze your console log via chat, search and edit files, manage backups, display or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. Every action that changes your server requires your confirmation first.
Using the DDoS Manager requires either a dedicated IP address or the add-on option “DDoS Manager Overview.” If your package doesn’t include this, you can add it anytime by upgrading.

Subnautica 2
Controls
Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:Port for one-click copying, plus live usage of CPU, RAM, disk, and network – each resource tile has a direct “Upgrade” button if things get tight. Here you start, stop, or restart your Subnautica 2 game server and keep the most important metrics in view.
Configuration
Manually searching configuration files is a thing of the past: under Configuration, an AI automatically scans your server files, recognizes relevant settings, and translates them into understandable, thematically grouped form fields – including explanations for each parameter. If you prefer the classic way, you can open the raw text view of the configuration file directly – both in the same view. Here you also find options to switch your game or trigger an update to the latest version (more about game switching in our Game Switch Guide).
DNS
Under DNS, you automatically get your own easy-to-remember address for your server free of charge – additionally, you can create more subdomains or connect one of your own domains.
AI Assistant
The AI Assistant is your personal server admin on demand: via chat, it can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, display or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. Every action that changes something on your server is presented to you for confirmation beforehand – the assistant never acts on its own, you always keep full control.
Managing Content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program directly in your browser – upload files via drag & drop, edit online, rename, or delete. Your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP are found in the same tab.
Databases
Under Databases, you create your own databases, see access data at a glance, and open them directly in phpMyAdmin.
Operation and Maintenance
Console
The Console shows you the live output of your server in a real terminal, including an AI-generated command palette tailored specifically for your game.
Warning
Stuck on an error message or don’t understand it? No worries! Just create a Support Chat in your ZapX customer account and describe your problem as detailed as possible. We’ll check it as soon as possible and help you solve it! :)
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup to fall back on. With the ZapX Pass, you get additional control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup includes a complete version snapshot, so you can return to exactly that state. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on your own schedule.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1, with Pro 3, and with Max 5 custom backup slots per server. You can find an overview of 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 add more 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 a custom command—on a fixed schedule or using your own cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you keep an eye on your server’s usage – CPU, RAM, disk, and network traffic over a freely selectable period.
Activity
Activity logs everything that has happened on your server – from starts and restarts to configuration changes and every backup. Here you also find info about interruptions of the host system your service runs on – the latest version of our service status is available on our Status Page.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager shows incoming traffic live as a chart and lists past attacks with time, duration, and peak bandwidth.
Info
Using the DDoS Manager requires either a dedicated IP address or the add-on option “DDoS Manager Overview.” If your current package doesn’t include these components, you can add them anytime by upgrading your service.
Conclusion
Now you know all areas of your Subnautica 2 game server management in ZapX – from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
