Managed VPS
VPS Where ZAP-Hosting (you) make basic stuff like initial server setup, security hardening, updates + patches, monitoring, backups, maybe optimization.
NeoForge 21.1.226
Neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1 is already released in 21.1.227 Stable. I would really appreciate to be able to use 21.1.226 especially since Modpacks like AllTheMons from the AllTheMods Team allready uses it.
Foundry VTT als Hosting-Produkt hinzufügen
Ich möchte vorschlagen, Foundry VTT als neues Hosting-Produkt in das Sortiment aufzunehmen. Kurz zur Software: Foundry VTT ist eine etablierte Virtual-Tabletop-Plattform für Online-Pen-and-Paper-Runden. Die Software selbst wird vom Kunden in der Regel direkt bei Foundry gekauft und anschließend beim Hosting-Anbieter eingebunden. Für ZAP würde es also nicht zwingend um den Verkauf der Lizenz gehen, sondern primär um die Bereitstellung einer passenden Hosting-Infrastruktur. Warum das aus Hosting-Sicht interessant ist: Foundry VTT ist kein klassischer kurzlebiger Gameserver-Anwendungsfall, sondern eher ein langfristig genutztes Hosting-Produkt. Spielleitungen und Gruppen betreiben ihre Welten, Kampagnen, Dateien, Karten, Medien und Konfigurationen oft über viele Monate oder sogar Jahre. Dadurch entsteht ein Anwendungsfall mit langfristiger Kundenbindung, planbarer Nutzung und stabilem Bedarf. Gerade für ZAP wäre das interessant, weil es im deutschsprachigen Markt nur wenige bekannte Anbieter für spezialisiertes Foundry-Hosting gibt. Noch seltener sind Modelle, die sich klar von klassischen Monatsabos abheben. Genau hier könnte ZAP mit seinem bestehenden Hosting-Modell und insbesondere mit möglichen Lifetime-Optionen einen echten Unterschied machen. Relevante Vorteile für ZAP als Anbieter: Erweiterung des Portfolios um ein spezialisiertes Hosting-Produkt außerhalb klassischer Gameserver Erschließung einer klaren Nische mit vergleichsweise wenig starker Konkurrenz im deutschen Markt Lange Nutzungsdauer pro Kunde, da Kampagnen und Welten meist dauerhaft betrieben werden Hohe Plattformbindung, weil Nutzer ihre Daten, Module, Assets und Konfigurationen nicht ständig umziehen möchten Gute Ergänzung zum bestehenden ZAP-Modell, insbesondere wenn flexible oder Lifetime-basierte Angebote möglich sind Technisch klarer Hosting-Use-Case, da Kunden vor allem eine einfache, stabile und dauerhaft erreichbare Umgebung benötigen Wichtig für die Kapazitäts- und Produktplanung: Foundry ist nicht nur eine einzelne Anwendung, sondern wird oft mit zusätzlichen Modulen, Erweiterungen, Karten, Medien, Automatisierungen und weiteren Inhalten betrieben. Das ist aus Hosting-Sicht relevant, weil dadurch je nach Nutzung Speicherbedarf, RAM-Anforderungen und allgemeine Serverlast deutlich variieren können. Für ZAP wäre das bei der Produktgestaltung ein Vorteil, weil man gut zwischen kleineren Standardpaketen und leistungsstärkeren Paketen differenzieren könnte.
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.
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)
Options for Custom WI apps
I wish i can create own “apps/games“ without create a gameserver and change the start argument
Neues Modpack
hey ist es möglich dieses Modpack hin zu zu fügen https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/linggango danke schon mal in Vorraus.
Add PWA support to the website
PWA would be a nice addition to your site to allow everyone to add Zaphosting as an “app” to all platforms without fully developing an actual app for systems.
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.
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)
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.
Login Alert for Unusual Location
Send an email notification when an account login is detected from an unusual or previously unseen region. The alert should provide general information (time and approximate region) and a way to secure the account if the login was not authorized.
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.
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.
