Add Foundry VTT as a hosting product

I would like to suggest adding Foundry VTT to our product lineup as a new hosting product. A brief overview of the software: Foundry VTT is a well-established virtual tabletop platform for online pen-and-paper gaming sessions. Customers typically purchase the software directly from Foundry and then integrate it with their hosting provider. For ZAP, this would not necessarily involve selling the license, but rather primarily providing a suitable hosting infrastructure. Why this is interesting from a hosting perspective: Foundry VTT is not a classic short-lived game server use case, but rather a hosting product used over the long term. Game masters and groups often run their worlds, campaigns, files, maps, media, and configurations for many months or even years. This creates a use case with long-term customer loyalty, predictable usage, and stable demand. This would be particularly interesting for ZAP because there are only a few well-known providers of specialized Foundry hosting in the German-speaking market. Even rarer are models that clearly stand out from traditional monthly subscriptions. This is exactly where ZAP could make a real difference with its existing hosting model and, in particular, with potential lifetime options. Relevant advantages for ZAP as a provider: Expansion of the portfolio to include a specialized hosting product outside of traditional game servers Tapping into a clear niche with comparatively little competition in the German market Long usage duration per customer, as campaigns and worlds are usually operated on a permanent basis High platform loyalty, as users do not want to constantly migrate their data, modules, assets, and configurations A good complement to the existing ZAP model, especially if flexible or lifetime-based offerings are possible Technically clear hosting use case, as customers primarily need a simple, stable, and permanently accessible environment Important for capacity and product planning: Foundry is not just a single application, but is often operated with additional modules, extensions, maps, media, automations, and other content. This is relevant from a hosting perspective because, depending on usage , storage requirements, RAM requirements, and overall server load can vary significantly. For ZAP, this would be an advantage in product design because it would allow for clear differentiation between smaller standard packages and more powerful packages.

Ansible Playbooks

Ansible Playbooks is a good way to deploy software standardized across multiple servers. (IAC [Infrastructure as Code], but in this Case for the stuff on the Machine. While terraform for example is Machine ordering + Definition) Basically a way to run the playbooks in zap-hosting directly instead of having to run them locally. less Network latency Reliable Secure Automation (If machine gets a reset it can automatically Trigger the ansible playbook)

Add Server Uptime as a visible metric in the Product Overview panel

Currently, the product overview shows important performance metrics such as CPU usage and RAM usage, which provide a quick snapshot of server load. However, it lacks visibility into server uptime, which is an equally important operational metric. Including Server Uptime in the same overview area would allow users to instantly see how long their server has been running without needing to navigate to additional panels, logs, or external monitoring tools. Benefits Improved Monitoring: Users can quickly confirm whether a server has recently restarted or remained stable. Faster Troubleshooting: Helps identify unexpected restarts without digging through logs. Consistency: Aligns uptime visibility with other key metrics already displayed in the overview. Better User Experience: Reduces the need to navigate multiple pages for basic server status information.

Lifetime VPS Location Migration & Higher Usage Limits

Hello Zap-Hosting Team, I’m writing to suggest some improvements for your Lifetime VPS product to make it more flexible and user-friendly for long-term users: Add an Official Location Migration Currently there’s no easy way to move a lifetime VPS to another server location and there's no even ASIA server location on your choices tbh its really hassle (e.g., for you Asian Customers like me). This means many users end up needing to purchase a new VPS just to get a different region/location, which is inefficient and costly. 👉 Please consider adding an migration feature so we can switch server regions without having to buy a new server. Increase Resource / Usage Limits The existing limits (e.g., CPU/usage caps) can be too restrictive — for example, some VPS can get locked during basic tasks like OS installation or heavier workloads. Higher available limits or optional upgrade tiers would greatly improve usability and reduce disruptions when working on projects. Overall, these changes would make the Lifetime VPS product more practical and satisfying for customers who want long-term reliability and flexibility without unnecessary extra purchases.

In Progress

Modern looking UI/UX of the ZAP-Hosting website

In my opinion, the current ZAP-Hosting website design looks old and is not coming along with the new modern-looking design. I suggest to overall remake or upgrade the UI/UX for a more modern and simple-looking design, an example might be most of the new websites built on React or specifically this website.

Dark Mode for the ZAP-Hosting Interface

Introduce an optional Dark Mode for the entire ZAP-Hosting interface (dashboard, server management, etc.). Benefits: More comfortable for the eyes during late-night sessions Modern look & feel that fits developers and gamers Improved contrast when reading logs and console output The idea: Add a theme switch in the user settings (Light / Dark / Follow system) and persist the preference per account.
