Server Locations & Infrastructure

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.

IPv6 for ZAP-Hosting

ZAP-Hosting should start offering IPv6 subnets to their Dedicated / virtual products. We’re in the year 2025 where IPv6 is nearly adapted everywhere. One large aspect for dedicated servers would be the ability to create IPv6-Only KVMs, so you wouldn’t have to rely on NATs only.

Integrations & Addons

API for Server Management

It would be extremely useful for developers, power users and dashboard creators is having an official ZAP-Hosting API that allows customers to interact with their servers programmatically.

Server Locations & Infrastructure

Secure ZAP-Storage

Upgrade the ZAP-Storage server to allow for the use of secure protocols. It’s nice that the FTP server is set up to use a password, but FTP does NOT encrypt the login credentials you use when logging in. I suggest using SFTP instead.

Dedicated Server Locations

Dedicated Servers need more locations instead just Germany for example USA Central , USA Eastern and USA Western and other locations for dedicated servers would be nice

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.

Billing & Account

Add more Payment Methods (UPI, RuPay, NetBanking, Wallets)

India has one of the world’s largest online payment ecosystems, but most customers rely on local payment methods instead of international credit cards. Enabling these methods on Zap-Hosting would make transactions much easier for Indian users and significantly increase conversions. Recommended Payment Methods to Add UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM) RuPay Debit Cards NetBanking (all major Indian banks) Local Wallets (Paytm Wallet, Amazon Pay, etc.) Benefits to Zap-Hosting Much higher checkout success rate from Indian customers Users will no longer face issues with international card declines Easier renewals, which leads to better customer retention Stronger presence and competitive advantage in one of the fastest-growing gaming markets Simplifies partner payouts in this region by allowing smoother, local transactions Examples of Global Payment Gateways That Support Indian Methods 1. Razorpay 2. PayU (PayU India) 3. Stripe (India Enabled) 4. Cashfree Payments 5. CCAvenue

Make an option buy a docker containers

Like you buy/rent a managed container. (That runs on managed zap-machines, while they offer stuff like redudancy) but allows people to host that pretty simple… (Ofc they should be somehow a bit restricted, so not one person can just take the entire machine)

Snapshots & Automated Backups for VPS

To improve reliability and reduce data-loss risks for VPS users, ZAP-Hosting can introduce a simple yet powerful Backup System with: 1. Manual Snapshots Users should be able to take on-demand snapshots before doing major updates or changes. These snapshots would let them roll back instantly if something breaks. 2. Free Weekly Auto-Backup Every VPS could come with one free weekly automatic backup. This gives all users at least one fallback point without needing any paid add-ons. There should also be an option to choose which day the weekly backup runs, so people can schedule it around their maintenance routines. 3. Paid Daily Backups For users who want more protection, there could be a paid “Daily Auto-Backup” option. This would take a backup every day and store several restore points. It’s an easy upsell and something many people are already familiar with from other providers. 4. One-Click Restore Restoring should be straightforward. Select the backup or snapshot, click restore, confirm, done. Ideally, there should also be an option to restore to a new VPS instance so production servers aren’t overwritten by accident.

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.

Upgrade reCAPTCHA to Google reCAPTCHA v3 (or Cloudflare Turnstile)

Zap-Hosting is currently using Google reCAPTCHA v2, which has become outdated and less secure compared to modern options. Upgrading the CAPTCHA system will improve security, user experience, and bot protection across the entire platform. Recommended Upgrade Options Option 1: Google reCAPTCHA v3 Completely invisible (no user interaction needed) Works silently in the background by checking risk scores Much better at detecting bots and suspicious behaviour Perfect for login pages, signup pages, and checkout forms Provides analytics for monitoring suspicious activity Benefits: Better security No customer frustration Faster login experience Modern and clean implementation Option 2: Cloudflare Turnstile (Modern CAPTCHA Alternative) Free for everyone (even without Cloudflare hosting) No Google tracking — privacy friendly Very fast and extremely lightweight Invisible mode available Used by many major websites as a drop-in replacement Benefits: Faster than reCAPTCHA More modern & privacy-focused No need for image challenges or interaction Reduces login friction dramatically Benefits to Zap-Hosting Stronger protection against bots, fraud, and brute-force attacks Better user experience → fewer login complaints Trusted modern security infrastructure Less server load due to more efficient checks Future-proofing the authentication system Improves accessibility for global users and regions where reCAPTCHA v2 is slow

ZAP-Hosting Monthly “Episodes” (Behind-the-Scenes Series)

It would be really cool if ZAP started a monthly YouTube Episode Series showing what happens behind the scenes, kind of like the documentary style we used to see on History TV. Each month could feature things like: A look inside the ZAP office Datacenter visits and hardware setups How servers are deployed and maintained How networking, security, and infrastructure work Meet-the-team segments Big updates explained in a fun, visual way Sneak peeks at upcoming features Real stories from the hosting side What ZAP engineers worked on that month This kind of content would be super interesting to watch and would also build a stronger connection between ZAP and its community. People love seeing the “real world” side of hosting companies which is the racks, cables, servers and the team behind everything. Just one episode per month would already be great. 😄

Support & Documentation

Notification of ticket update

It would be great if you always get a notification on the website when a support ticket changes (new message), otherwise you always have to look at the email or update it manually. This would make the support more efficient as you can react faster and the supporter can continue faster without having to think about it all the time.

Minecraft: Oldschool Edition / Better Than Adventure

It would be nice if you could also host the Minecraft mod as a server. (It's a beta 1.7.3 mod.) The same goes for Better Than Adventure, which is also a beta 1.7.3 mod. The server jars are available on their respective websites https://www.minecraftoldschool.com https://www.betterthanadventure.net/

Server Nickname / Designation Visibility Improvement

Currently, server nicknames are visible in the main dashboard, but once a service is opened, the nickname is no longer shown. It would be helpful to display the server nickname inside the service dashboard as well, such as: In the page title As a visible label on the service page This makes it easier to distinguish between multiple servers, especially when multiple machines have identical IP addresses.

Please add the Build 42 Version of Project Zomboid

Build 42 of Project Zomboid has a lot of features that Build 41 does not have I would like to host the server on that build :)
