Lifetime Server Hosting

A server you pay for once instead of renting it every month. There is no rental term: it keeps running as long as your ZapX Pass is active and has enough lifetime slots. Game servers, VPS, TeamSpeak servers and Discord bots are available as lifetime servers: in the configurator, you simply switch to Lifetime. Web hosting works too, because at ZapX it runs on a VPS with one-click apps such as WordPress.

Yes, with its own rules: a dedicated server takes up an entire machine. That's why each one needs its own Dedicated Lifetime slot. You add it to an active ZapX Pass for €9.90 per 30 days, on every Pass tier. Your Pass has to be running already, it is not added to your order automatically. The lifetime price depends on the hardware you choose. Without a Pass or slot, the server is powered off and locked. Hardware and data are kept for at least 14 days; after that, the hardware may be released. When you reactivate it, we set up a server of the same model or an equivalent one from scratch.

It depends on how long you keep it. The lifetime price is a fixed multiple of your package's monthly price, including surcharges such as the location. The comparison on this page puts the one-time price against monthly rent plus the ZapX Pass and shows the month from which lifetime costs less. One Pass can carry several lifetime servers, so the Pass is only counted once.

Your lifetime server is paid for once, and there is no rent on it. The ZapX Pass covers your whole account, not each server: one tier covers several lifetime servers and adds ZapX AI Agent and backup slots. Every additional lifetime server within your slots only costs its purchase price. You book the Pass for 30, 90, 180 or 365 days and can cancel any time, effective at the end of the term. If you don't have one yet, it is added to your order at checkout, except for dedicated servers.

Your Pass tier decides: every tier comes with a number of Lifetime Server Slots, and Max has unlimited slots. Dedicated servers don't count toward them, they have their own slots. On every tier, you can deactivate a server and use its slot for another one without losing its lifetime status.

Your lifetime entitlement always stays. There are no activity checks, so you don't have to log in regularly. A lifetime server is only locked if your ZapX Pass ends or your Lifetime Server Slots no longer cover all your servers. If you have more servers than slots, we pick the extra ones at random. Locked servers are stopped and you can't access them. Everything is kept fully intact for at least 14 days. After that, we may archive them and keep the archive for at least 6 months; for dedicated servers, the hardware may be released. As soon as your ZapX Pass is active again with enough slots, they are unlocked or restored automatically. The IP address and port may change when that happens.

You can upgrade: you add more resources in the web interface and pay for the upgrade once. A lifetime server cannot be downsized. Game servers, VPS and TeamSpeak servers are also not tied to the machine you bought them on: we can move them to newer systems. Dedicated servers stay on their machine.

Your server keeps running in the previous customer panel. Moving to ZapX is voluntary: as long as the previous panel is running, you don't have to move, and we would let you know before shutting it down. Our guides explain how the move works for VPS and dedicated servers and what happens to your server along the way. A lifetime TeamSpeak server can also move once we release it: it stays on the same instance with the same IP address, port and domain, and is managed in ZapX afterwards.
