Introduction
You’ve rented a Terraria game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZapX? This guide walks you through your server’s product management from start to finish—and shows you how much time integrated automation and AI support can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. If live queries are supported, the dashboard shows the current player count, map, and ping without needing external tools.
No. ZapX automatically detects unexpected crashes in the background and updates your overview.
You can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server. View credentials at a glance, access them directly through phpMyAdmin, and export database structures. You can mark one database as primary. To delete a database, you’ll need to enter its name again for security.
Use the Savegames tab, which gives you a dedicated file manager limited to your save folder.
In addition to the free address assigned automatically, you can create up to 3 more subdomains or connect your own domain. ZapX automatically configures the required DNS records, including port detection.
The console detects it automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended course of action.
With a ZapX Pass, you can restore backups with one click under Backups. You’ll see live progress, and the server is stopped only briefly. We also back up your server automatically every day.
It shows 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 customize the protection.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: 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. If your game supports live queries, you can even see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, without any external tools.
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
Searching through configuration files by hand 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 a clear explanation of each parameter. Critical values are marked with a "Caution" notice so you don’t accidentally take your server offline. If you prefer the classic approach, you can 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 right away so your changes take effect immediately.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal server admin on demand. Through 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 beforehand—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always remain in full control.
Manage content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser—you can 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, including a one-click password rotation option if you want to change them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view their credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, or export their structure with one click. You can mark one database as primary. To delete a database, you’ll need to enter its name again for security.
Savegames
Under Savegames, you have a dedicated file manager limited to your save folder—you’ll see only what you need, without having to navigate the entire server file tree.
Operation and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal. Here’s what makes it special: ZapX automatically generates an AI-powered 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 because it’s running out of memory, the console detects it automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended course of action.
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup on hand without having to remember to create one yourself. With the ZapX Pass, you 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 whenever needed. Restoring shows live progress, and the server is stopped only briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on a schedule you choose.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1, with Pro 3, and with Max 5 personal 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. You can add more backup storage on the ZapX Pass page if needed.
Schedules
Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks: start, stop, or restart the server, create a backup (with ZapX Pass Pro or higher), or run a custom command. Choose from handy presets like "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00" or set up 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 log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, every backup, and every console command. This lets you check what changed and when at any time.
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 every section of Terraria server management in ZapX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
