Introduction
You’ve rented a Sunkenland 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 time the built-in automation and AI assistance can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. If live queries are supported, the Overview displays the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, with no external tools required.
No. ZapX automatically detects an unexpected crash in the background and updates your overview for you.
You can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, and export their structure. You can mark a database as primary. To delete one, you’ll need to re-enter its name as a safety measure.
Use the Savegames tab. It has a dedicated file manager limited to your savegame folder.
In addition to your automatically assigned free address, you can create up to 3 more subdomains or connect your own domain. ZapX automatically sets up the required DNS records for your domain, including port detection.
The console detects this automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
With ZapX Pass, you can restore backups with a click under Backups. A live progress indicator shows the restore progress, and the server is stopped only briefly. We also back up your server automatically every day.
It 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 a dedicated IP address, you can even customize the protection.

Overview
The Overview is your control center: server status, IP:port with one-click copying, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more resources. If your game supports live queries, you’ll also see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, with no external tools required.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZapX detects it automatically in the background and updates your overview for you. You don’t have 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 — including an explanation of each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice, so you don’t accidentally bring your server down. Prefer the classic approach? Open the raw text view of the config file directly — both options are available in the same view.
After you save, ZapX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
DNS
Under DNS, you automatically get a free, easy-to-remember address for your server. You can also create up to 3 additional subdomains or connect one of your own domains. When you connect your own domain, ZapX automatically sets up the required DNS records for you, including detecting the correct port for your game. You can mark a domain as "Preferred" so it appears as your primary address throughout the dashboard.
ZapX AI Agent
With ZapX Pass, you have 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 FTP credentials, and suggest updates. You’ll be asked to confirm any action that changes something on your server first. The AI Agent never takes action 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’ll 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 them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, open your databases directly in phpMyAdmin, or export their structure with a click. You can mark a database as primary. To delete one, you’ll need to re-enter its name as a safety measure.
Savegames
Under Savegames, you have a dedicated file manager limited to your savegame folder. You’ll see only what you need, without having to browse through the entire server file tree.
Operations and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal. Here’s what makes it special: ZapX uses AI to automatically generate a command palette tailored to your game, organized into categories such as Administration, Gameplay, or Chat — with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling due to low memory, the console detects it automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
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 ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup contains a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to that exact state whenever needed. Restoring a backup includes a live progress indicator, and the server is stopped only briefly. 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. 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 you need more, you can add 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. Choose from convenient presets such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00" or create your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
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, network traffic, and your player count in relation to your purchased slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete record of what happens on your server — from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and console commands. This lets you see exactly what changed and when.
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 a dedicated IP address, you can even customize the protection.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all the sections of your Sunkenland game server management in ZapX — from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
