FAQ

Questions before you buy VPS hosting

Price, specs, locations and setup: what to know before you buy or rent a VPS server.

VPS hosting gives you a virtual private server: a KVM slice of a physical host with its own reserved vCores, RAM and NVMe storage and full root access. At ZAP-Hosting it runs on powerful server CPUs with PletX premium DDoS protection, managed in the ZAPX panel.

You pick Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server or your own ISO and install whatever you need: websites, Docker stacks, bots, a VPN or game servers. The panel adds a browser console, firewall, monitoring and rescue mode, and Coolify gives you One-Click Apps. Use your VPS as storageHost your database on a VPSHost your own apps with Docker

VPS plans start at €7.29 per month. Every package and its live price are listed in the plans above.

The monthly price depends on package, runtime and location. Rent for 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days: longer runtimes are discounted, and US locations have their own regional pricing. If no package fits, the configurator lets you set CPU, RAM and storage yourself, and with ZapX Pass you can buy once with a Lifetime VPS. Looking for cheap VPS hosting without weak hardware? Even the entry plans run on powerful server CPUs with NVMe storage and PletX DDoS protection. You pay by credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or other payment methods, depending on your country and currency. All payment methods

Pick a package or configure your own, choose location, operating system and runtime, then check out. Setup runs automatically, and your VPS is usually online in 60 seconds.

After payment, your VPS is installed with the system you selected. The access data appears in the panel, and you connect via SSH or Remote Desktop. Reinstalls, firewall rules and the browser console are available in the ZAPX panel from the start.

Linux for most stacks, a Windows VPS when your software requires it. Both come with full root or administrator access.

Linux (Debian or Ubuntu) is the standard for Docker, web apps, bots and automation. Windows Server is available when your tool needs a Windows environment and Remote Desktop, and you select either one at checkout. Need a specialized system like Proxmox? It is not a ready-made template, but you can install it from your own ISO.

Pick the location closest to your users: Frankfurt / Eygelshoven, Ashburn / New York, Dallas or Los Angeles.

All four are own ZAP-Hosting locations, and you select one when you order. Choose the location closest to the majority of your users for the lowest latency. Availability and prices may vary by location.

Yes. PletX premium DDoS protection is included at no extra cost, with up to 4 Tbit/s of filtering capacity via Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

PletX filters server traffic at Frankfurt / Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles, using dynamic rules that adapt to your traffic. The DDoS Manager in the panel shows attacks, bandwidth and protection status.

Self-managed: you get full root or administrator access and decide what runs on your server.

The ZAPX panel gives you the browser console, firewall, rescue mode and reinstalls, Coolify adds One-Click Apps, and the 24/7 support chat helps with platform questions. Root or admin skills help, since software and updates inside your VPS are yours to manage. With ZapX Pass, the ZapX AI Agent assists with apps, firewall rules and diagnostics.

A VPS gives you a guaranteed KVM slice with root access and a low entry price. A dedicated server gives you exclusive hardware.

Websites, apps, bots and most game servers run well on a VPS with fixed, predictable resources. When a project outgrows a VPS or needs hardware no one else shares, a dedicated server at Frankfurt / Eygelshoven is the next step, with the same root access and ZAPX panel. Only want to host a game without admin work? A managed ZAP game server is the easiest path.

It depends on the workload: start small for a website or bot, go bigger for Docker stacks, databases and game servers.

A single website, Discord bot or test environment usually runs fine on an entry package. A Coolify stack with several apps, a database-backed web app or n8n automation needs more headroom, so a mid-tier package is a better start. Game servers and heavy multi-app setups belong on the larger packages. You can upgrade to a bigger package later; disk downgrades are not supported.

Snapshots, restore and manual Backups are available with ZapX Pass.

With ZapX Pass you create snapshots and manual Backups through your Backup slots, and you can restore them when an update or deploy goes wrong. The daily Backups are kept longer, depending on your Pass tier. The Backup storage per account depends on your Pass tier, and a VPS counts only once, with the data stored on it rather than its disk size. The Pass also unlocks Lifetime VPS and the ZapX AI Agent.
