ShootMania Storm on your VPS
What is a ShootMania Storm VPS?
Your ShootMania Storm matches run around the clock on a server that belongs to you. ShootMania VPS hosting at ZAP-Hosting gives you a KVM VPS with full root access, where you set up the ShootMania dedicated server yourself.
You keep control of everything that makes your server yours: title packs such as Elite, game modes, map rotation, passwords and controllers like PyPlanet. It is your own VPS, not a managed ShootMania game server, so nothing is locked down.
Choose from locations in Europe and America, including Ashburn, Dallas, Los Angeles and FFM/Eygelshoven, and run your server close to the players who join it most.
Why a VPS
Everything your ShootMania server needs to run 24/7.
Root access, self-managed ShootMania setup and resources that belong to your VPS, so your server runs your way.
Online in 60 seconds
Your VPS is provisioned automatically, and you set up ShootMania yourself with full root access and Help Center guidance.
Controllers like PyPlanet
Run the controller your league prefers: with full root access, PyPlanet or your own server scripts run like any other software.
Your modes, your map rotation
Switch between Elite, Royal, Joust or custom modes and maps whenever you want. Match settings and title packs are fully up to you.
Private scrims or public lobbies
Keep practice private or open the doors: set player and spectator passwords, admin lists and firewall rules on your own VPS.
Daily system Backup
Make config changes without worry: a daily automatic system Backup is included, and ZapX Pass adds your own Backups and restores.
Locations in Europe and America
Put your server close to your players: choose Ashburn, Dallas, Los Angeles or FFM/Eygelshoven when you order.
