Every improvement, in plain language. What changed and why it matters to you. No jargon, no internal ticket numbers.
175 improvements across 21 releases
Don't Starve Together is now fully self serve on Zeros Host. You get the full cluster, so your Overworld and Caves run together the way the game is meant to be played, not just a single world. Start a free trial for 24 hours with no payment and no card, bring a free server token from Klei so your world is instantly joinable, or grab a full plan on our EU hardware from 5 pounds a month.
When you install mods on a Minecraft server you can now press Verify Install in the Mod Manager and we check every mod for you. We tell you if a mod is missing a required dependency like Fabric API, if a mod is built for a different loader than your server runs, or if the same mod is installed twice, so you can fix it before a crash instead of after. Open your server, go to the Mod Manager, and press Verify Install to see the report.
You can now switch the game your server runs, right from your account, and keep the same plan and price. Open your server, choose Switch game, and pick another game that matches your plan size. We take a safety backup first and move everything across for you, so you can try something new like GMod, Minecraft or Terraria without buying a second server or losing your current one.
Unturned hosting is now fully self serve. Start a free trial to try it with no payment, or set up a full server in a couple of clicks on our EU hardware, so you and your friends can jump in the same day.
Choose your map from the panel and restart with no files to edit, let the Rocket plugin framework load on startup for instant admin commands, and share a simple server code your friends enter to join, with no address or port forwarding.
See your whole Minecraft world as a live 3D map right inside your panel. Open the new Map tab, fly around it, and watch it fill in as you explore. It is set up for you in a couple of clicks and keeps itself up to date.
Turn on a share link and send your world map to anyone, with no account needed. You choose what a visitor can see, with separate switches for players, chest locations and player details, so you share exactly as much as you want.
Your online players appear as full body avatars, and chests, barrels and shulker boxes show as markers you can open to see what is inside. You can manage a player straight from the map too.
The server properties page has been rebuilt with instant search, so you can jump to any setting by name instead of scrolling, and a history rail shows what changed and when.
There is now a one tap Keep Inventory switch, plus the full set of Minecraft game rules laid out with plain explanations, so you can shape how your world plays without touching a single file.
You can now point your own AI agent at your server from the Connect your AI page. It can read your files, logs and settings, and now safely make changes too, like editing configs, installing content, taking backups and restarting, all inside limits you set for each key.
The website and panel have a seasonal Halloween look, and you can take 20 percent off your first payment with the code HALLOWEEN2026.
When you start a free trial we now get you into your panel and setting things up right away while the final pieces finish in the background, and we email you the moment the server is ready to connect.
Alongside the usual monthly plan you can now buy a server for a single one, three or six month term with auto renew switched off. Pay for exactly the time you want, with nothing to remember to cancel later.
You can now gift a Zeros Host server to someone by email. They get a message from you, set their password and jump straight onto their own server, with nothing to install first.
Checkout now confirms we have space to set your server up before it takes any payment. If demand is unusually high we tell you up front and point you to a plan we can start right away, so you are never charged for a server we cannot provision.
Some Project Zomboid mods trip the built in anti cheat and get players kicked. Server Configuration now has an Anti Cheat section with a one tap switch to turn the checks off, plus fine control over each one, so a mod you want to run no longer fights the server.
Sandbox Settings now has Chilled, Balanced and Hardcore presets that set the zombie, loot and survival options for you in a single click. Pick a starting point, adjust anything you like, then save.
Player Management can now broadcast a message to everyone on the server, kick a player, and grant or remove admin, all from the panel while your server is running.
The Startup page has been rebuilt as a tidy settings list, so your server variables are easier to read and change, with the space used far better on every screen size.
We went across the panel and cleaned up the rough edges, swapping placeholder icons for proper graphics, fixing broken thumbnails and giving empty screens a consistent, finished look.
Project Zomboid mods often fight over load order and quietly stop a server from booting. The new Mod Sorter reads your mod list and arranges it into a working order for you, both as a free tool on our website and built into your panel, so a broken load order is no longer something to untangle by hand.
Your Workshop panel now spots mods that have been removed, hidden or made private on the Steam Workshop, so you find out before a missing mod stops your world from loading, not after.
Changing mods is the most common way a Project Zomboid world breaks. Your server now takes a backup automatically before it applies mod changes, so you can always return to the last setup that worked.
The Workshop panel now shows how much memory your mod list is likely to need against the memory your plan provides, so you can tell at a glance whether you have room to spare or want a larger plan.
Your installed mods now show their real Steam Workshop images instead of a plain letter, so a long mod list is far easier to read.
Renaming a Project Zomboid server can leave your existing world stranded under the old name. The panel now warns you before a change that would do this, so your save stays attached to your server.
On Minecraft servers running in offline mode, adding a premium Java account to your whitelist, operators or ban list now uses the correct player identity, so the right players are let in and kept out without editing files by hand.
We removed the automatic performance check that used to print into your Minecraft console every few minutes. Your console now shows what you and your players are doing, while we keep collecting the same performance data quietly in the background.
You can now begin your free trial the moment you sign up and confirm your email afterwards, so there is nothing standing between you and your first server.
When your trial is coming to an end you can keep your server and everything on it in a single tap, with a clear deadline, so nothing you built gets lost in the move to a paid plan.
When you start a new server you can now give it your own name right away instead of a default one, so it reads the way you want from the first moment in your panel.
You can now change your server subdomain, or switch to a domain you own, straight from the Domain tab without removing the old one first, so your connect address is always yours to change.
Unturned servers now show a how to join card in the panel with your connect details, so you and your players can get in without hunting for the address.
New servers get a rebuilt step by step tour that now works cleanly on mobile, and several panels and slide over menus no longer clip on smaller screens, so getting around the panel is smoother on every device.
You can now host Necesse with Zeros Host. Build a shared colony, recruit settlers and take on bosses together on a world that runs 24 hours a day, so your progress carries on even while you are offline.
Set your world name, player slots, password and message of the day straight from the browser, with a live console and file editor, so there is no need for FTP. Daily backups and automatic restarts keep your world safe if the server ever falls over.
Every Necesse server starts with a free 24 hour trial and no card required, so you can try it fully before you pay. Paid plans start at £5 a month and you can upgrade any time from the panel.
New tools across the Minecraft panel: a modpack browser to find and install modpacks without leaving the panel, a visual editor for your server welcome message, quick presets for common setups, a world manager, and a live performance monitor that graphs your server TPS over time.
A one click whitelist toggle, player heads shown next to who is online, and an EULA prompt built into the console so a fresh server never sits there refusing to start.
Starter kits now reliably give you the kit again when you respawn, and server icon and datapack uploads work on every server.
The server console has been rebuilt into one clear terminal with log, all, errors and chat views, the power controls easier to reach, and your server name back in the header.
Open a server for the first time and a short walkthrough shows you where your power controls, files, settings and billing live, so you are not hunting around on day one.
A gentle check in makes it simple to leave feedback or open a ticket in a couple of clicks.
You can now hide suspended servers from your dashboard to keep it clean.
The panel no longer breaks for people using a browser translation extension, and standalone GMod servers no longer show a broken Update now button, since we keep GMod current centrally for you.
If a renewal payment fails, your server is paused rather than lost, and it comes straight back online once the payment goes through.
A refreshed homepage with a game montage, an AI assistant spotlight and live demos, a new Unturned page, comparison pages, a Best DarkRP Addons 2026 guide, faster loading, and a redesigned changelog. The site also recovers on its own after an update instead of erroring on a tab you left open.
Point Claude, or any MCP compatible AI, at your Zeros Host server and it can read your files, configs, console output and crash logs to help you diagnose problems, with no more copy pasting logs into a chatbot.
Beyond reading, you can now let your assistant take actions for you, such as editing configs, running console commands, managing your backups and schedules, working with databases, and restarting when needed. It stays off until you turn it on, and every change runs behind a confirm first safety net.
Permissions are set per key, so each connection only gets the powers you grant it, and you can revoke any of it in one click at any time.
File contents handed to the assistant are scrubbed, so passwords and tokens never leak into a chat.
The assistant can pull a single health snapshot, see who is connected, and read resource usage whenever you ask.
You can now use the same Zeros Host account for the game panel. On the panel sign in page, choose Sign in with Zeros Host and you go straight through, with no second password to remember. This works whether you signed up with a password, with Google, or with two factor turned on.
After checkout you now get your panel address, the email to sign in with, and your password on the confirmation page, with a copy button for each. Signing in also carries across our site and your billing portal, so you are not asked to log in twice.
Your trial dashboard and the page for keeping your server have both been rebuilt. You now see the logo for the game you are actually running, the memory and storage on each plan is shown correctly, and Discord bot trials get instructions for getting your bot online rather than server connection details that do not apply.
The link in the top navigation now says Dashboard, so when you are signed in you can get back to your trial and your upgrade options without hunting for it.
The storage breakdown for an Unturned server now shows readable folder names such as Maps and Bundles, matching how it already worked for other games.
Our help articles and blog posts now link to a free trial for the game they are about, where that game has one, so you can go straight from reading to trying it.
Several pages still said Unturned had no free trial. It has had one since 13 September, and those pages have been corrected.
Two pages offered a free Rust trial, which we do not run. Those claims are gone. We would rather tell you what we actually offer than have you find out after signing up.
Our four 120 GB plans are temporarily unavailable to order while we add storage capacity. Every other plan is unaffected, and existing servers keep running as normal.
While your trial is running you can now upgrade it straight from your dashboard and keep the server you are already using. Your world, your settings, your addons and your files stay exactly as they are, the server keeps running, and there is nothing to move across. If your trial has already finished, the same applies for as long as we are still holding your files.
If your trial server stops responding, your dashboard now tells you, along with roughly how long it has been unreachable and the usual things to check, so you can get it back up without guessing.
Some games need a pair of network ports side by side. Both are now reserved together when your server is created, rather than the second one being found unavailable partway through setup.
We have reworked how the site behaves on a phone. The pricing page now puts every game we host right at the top so you can pick one straight away, with Garry's Mod on a larger card. Forms are easier to fill in across the site, including sign up, contact and all of our free tools. Several pages also read better on a small screen.
A Links menu in the top navigation takes you straight to your game panel, your billing portal, and our service status page, so you are not hunting for the right address.
Four guides covering first setup, getting your friends in with a Server Code, changing the map, and installing Rocket plugins.
You can rent an Unturned server from us, starting at £5 a month. Friends join with your Server Code rather than an address, Rocket plugins load on startup, and you pick the map from a dropdown in the panel instead of editing a config file. Daily off-site backups and full file access are included, as on every plan.
Search CurseForge modpacks and mods straight from your panel and install one with a click, alongside the Modrinth search you already had.
Creating a server on the "latest" Minecraft version used to pick an older release. It now installs the newest one.
Your server now gets the right Java runtime for whichever Minecraft version you choose, with nothing to configure yourself.
Turn your whitelist on or off and control online-mode right from your Minecraft server settings, with a clear warning on what each one does.
Moving from a free trial to a paid plan now keeps the exact same server and world, whether the trial is still running or has already expired. No more losing your progress and setting everything up again.
You will now get an email confirming your order the moment it goes through, so you always have a record that it worked.
We found and fixed a case where admin bans and whitelist entries could silently fail to apply. They are now written to and verified against the server's real moderation data every time, not just shown as successful in the panel.
Fixed Discord bots getting stuck on "Starting" or hanging when you tried to stop them. They should behave properly now.
Valheim now has a proper World Manager for handling your save files safely, plus SteamID-based admin and player-list editing. You can try both live in the demo before you buy.
You can now set how long automatic backups are kept before they are cleaned up, right from the Backups page. Anything you lock stays untouched no matter what you set.
Clearer per-game "how to join" instructions, honest handling of your panel credentials, and if a trial ever seems stuck provisioning, a real way out instead of an endless spinner.
Some Terraria tModloader servers were crashing on boot. That is fixed, so modded Terraria servers should start reliably now.
Rust, Project Zomboid and Minecraft now have live, interactive panel demos right on their pages, not just screenshots, so you can see exactly what you are getting.
Cleaned up the mobile pricing page and shrunk the cookie banner so it stops taking up half your screen on a phone.
Project Zomboid servers can now reset the world and keep your sandbox settings exactly as you had them, and those settings follow the server if you rename it.
The server menu is now grouped into sections with an icon for each area, and it collapses out of the way when you want more room for the console. Each game brings its own tools, so your Garry's Mod server and your Terraria server each feel like their own place.
Server pages and cards now carry proper artwork and logos for the game you are running, so your servers are easy to tell apart at a glance.
The console now has an Issues panel that tells you whether your server recovered from a crash and when the last one happened, and flags problems it spots in your console output with suggested fixes.
Terraria now starts at £2 a month for 1.5 GB of RAM and 25 GB of storage, so a small world for you and a few friends does not need a bigger plan.
Right-click any line in the console to copy it or add your own label, and long multi-line errors like GMod Lua stack traces now fold into a single collapsible block until you want to see the whole thing.
Player Pulse and the Community Dashboard are now a single page, bringing your players, retention and server health together in one view.
Vitals now shows your server's tick rate whenever the Health Monitor addon is running, alongside your other live stats.
Text sizing across the panel has been refined for phones and tablets, so pages are easier to read on smaller screens.
A number of smaller fixes and polish items landed across the panel and website this release, tidying up notifications, layout and everyday details throughout.
The console page has been rebuilt from the ground up. A larger game icon, your server name and a live status pill sit across the top, the terminal has more room to breathe, and the whole page reads more clearly at a glance.
A tab bar above the console links directly to your Files, Backups and Schedules, so you can move around your server without hunting through the sidebar.
CPU, memory and network now sit as live graphs beside the terminal and update as your server runs. You can watch the console and your resource usage at the same time.
A storage breakdown appears on the console page and shows how your disk space is split across your files, so you can see what is taking up room before you hit your limit.
The resource graphs now plot points against the real time they happened rather than spacing them evenly, so the shape of the line matches what your server actually did.
The panel has a refreshed teal accent that runs consistently across the console, charts and controls for a cleaner, more considered feel.
Your server card and header now show the player count even while the server is offline for Garry's Mod and Minecraft servers, so you do not need to open the Players page to check.
Choosing Download as Zip in the file manager now produces a proper .zip file that opens straight away on Windows and Mac, with no extra unpacking step.
Some files could be quietly left out of a backup in certain setups. Backups now include everything they should, so a restore brings back the full contents of your server.
The banner that warns when a server has no backup schedule can now be dismissed once you have read it, and it stays dismissed instead of returning on every visit.
Entries in your server activity log are now clickable and open a detail view. Where an entry relates to a file, you can jump straight to that file.
The welcome card on the console can now be dismissed, and it stays hidden for your account once you have finished with it.
Help articles now include screenshots to follow along with, starting with the DarkRP setup guide, so it is easier to see exactly what each step should look like.
When you build a schedule with several tasks, the panel now spells out the running total of the delay so you can see exactly when each task will fire.
On phones, the setup progress widget now tucks into a compact button so it no longer overlaps your dashboard cards.
Creating, updating or removing a Discord webhook could fail. Discord notifications now save and fire reliably again.
The Help Centre now opens onto a grid of games, so you can pick your game and land on guides written for it rather than scrolling one long list.
A large batch of panel how-to topics, including a dedicated Rust panel section, now live in the Help Centre alongside everything else.
The Minecraft page now walks through the panel features you get with a Minecraft server, so you can see what is included before you start.
The Garry's Mod page has updated imagery and clearer wording about where your server is hosted.
Server cards on the dashboard now carry a background image for the game they run, so your servers are easier to tell apart at a glance.
The server finder now has a click-through detail view for each server, with more room for its information.
On your own servers, the detail view now shows a players-over-time chart so you can see when your server is busiest.
Longer server names now wrap onto a second line on the /servers cards rather than being truncated, so you can read the whole name.
Signing in with two-factor authentication enabled could leave some accounts stuck. Login now handles the two-factor step correctly so you can get in as expected.
Several issues around passkeys and authenticator-app codes at setup and sign-in have been resolved, so both work more reliably.
Buying a server outright now sets it up automatically after payment, with clear alerts on our side if anything needs a second look.
The largest high-memory plans now show a Contact Us option so we can make sure we have the right capacity ready for you before you commit.
There is now a public server finder where you can search, filter and page through community servers to find somewhere to play.
Your own servers are highlighted within the finder, so they are easy to pick out among the rest.
Minecraft servers now keep a log of who joined and left and how long they played, so you can keep track of who has been on your server.
When you build a kit or hand a player an item, you can now choose enchantments from a picker instead of typing them out.
Minecraft servers now size their memory more sensibly across Paper, Forge and Vanilla, leaving healthy headroom so your server is more stable under load.
The console has had a readability pass with a tidier terminal header and less visual clutter, making the live log easier to follow.
A second scrollbar could appear in the console. It has been removed so scrolling through your logs behaves as you would expect.
If a server has no backup schedule set up, the panel now shows a clear banner so you are not caught out without a recent backup.
Automatic backups now run only when you set up a backup schedule, so you stay in control of when your server is backed up.
The activity feed has been redesigned with plain descriptions of each event, grouped by day and paired with icons, so it is much easier to see what happened and when.
You can now hide personal details like your email in the profile menu and admin views, which is handy when you are sharing your screen or streaming.
There is now a feedback page at /feedback where you can tell us what is working and what you would like to see next.
Minecraft servers now have Starter Kits: ready-made preset kits plus a builder for creating your own, so new players can be handed a set of gear the moment they join.
Items in your kits, and items you hand to players, can now carry enchantments, so you can give out properly kitted-out gear.
A new Player Maintenance area lets you see a player's state and heal, feed or reset them without dropping into console commands.
You can set a kit to be handed out again each time a player respawns, which is ideal for arena and minigame servers.
The server console now auto-fills commands when you press Tab, so you can run commands faster and with fewer typos.
The console now accepts commands whether or not you put a slash in front, so it just works the way you expect.
A duplicate header on the console page has been removed, giving the terminal more room.
A new Domain tab lets you point your own custom domain at your server yourself, without needing to raise a ticket.
When you add a custom domain, the panel now walks you through the DNS records to set and confirms when they are verified.
Your server address defaults to a plain address and port, and you can now opt in to a tidy free subdomain if you prefer one.
A new Migration Wizard helps you bring your files across from another host, so moving to us is far less fiddly.
Rust servers can now be put on a wipe schedule, with an optional backup first and an automatic restart, so wipes happen on time without you being at the keyboard.
You can now download our VS Code companion extension and edit your server files directly in VS Code on your own computer.
A short setup guide in the panel walks you through connecting the VS Code extension, and offers a fallback if VS Code cannot start locally.
You can now dismiss individual notifications or clear them all at once, so your notifications stay tidy.
The homepage now has a section spelling out what sets our hosting apart, so it is easier to see what you get with us.
We corrected the advertised storage sizes on some plans and removed a couple of plans that were listed but not actually available.
A Connect button now appears in the Console page header bar. For GMod servers it launches your game via Steam straight to the server. For other games it copies the server address to your clipboard.
Each event in your account audit log now includes the approximate location, browser, and device that triggered it. Failed login attempts are highlighted in red so they stand out from normal activity.
Your email address on the Account page is now hidden by default. Click the eye icon to reveal it, the same way tokens and API keys work elsewhere in the panel.
A self-service account deletion option is available on the Account page under Security. Deletion is permanent and requires password confirmation.
The recovery codes page was returning a 404 due to a wrong API path. It now loads and generates codes as expected.
Server cards on the dashboard now display real-time resource usage while your server is running. Indicators turn amber above 70% and red above 85%, so you can spot overloaded servers at a glance without opening each one.
Servers running SAM as their admin mod can now view and manage ranks directly from the Admin Ranks page. The panel detects your admin mod automatically and shows the right interface.
Uploading a .gma file and extracting it through the file manager now works correctly. Previously .gma files failed silently.
Three bugs in the onboarding tour are fixed: longer steps no longer clip off-screen, targets scroll into view automatically, and the tour no longer crashes if a target element is not present.
If your account email is not verified yet, the login page now shows a working resend button with clear status feedback.
Opening the Players or Health Monitor page on a Minecraft or other non-GMod server no longer causes errors. Each page now shows the right content for your game type or a clear unavailable notice.
A header bar that duplicated the server name, IP, and status already visible in the sidebar has been removed. The console now has more vertical space.
The settings and overflow menus on the Console page now report their state correctly to assistive technology and close when you press Escape.
Each addon in your installed list now has a toggle. You can disable it to exclude it from your server temporarily, then re-enable it later without losing it.
Starting an Addon Health Monitor scan and then navigating to another part of the panel no longer cancels the scan. Results are waiting when you come back.
The FastDL download URL shown on the Workshop page previously pointed to a single hardcoded address. It now generates the correct URL for whichever server you are viewing.
Avatar initials and accent colours were recalculated on every render across the panel. They are now computed once and reused, reducing unnecessary work on pages with many user references.
Console log history was taking around one second to appear due to a server-side bottleneck on concurrent requests. It now loads in under 100 ms.
Opening the Console page previously fired duplicate log history requests, adding avoidable wait time. A single shared request now serves the whole page.
API keys, tokens, passwords, and webhook URLs are now hidden behind a mask everywhere they appear in the panel. Click the eye icon to reveal, or the copy icon to copy without showing the value on screen.
Turning off 2FA or unsubscribing from push notifications now shows a confirmation step that explains the security impact before making the change.
The panel's HTTP library has been updated to close 19 CVEs, including prototype-pollution issues that could allow header injection, XSRF token leakage, and credential theft.
The Help Centre existed but every link to it returned a 404. It is now live at /help with articles covering panel features, game setup guides, admin rank configuration, and common troubleshooting.
The Admin Ranks help article now explains that the Permissions tab shows only direct grants for a rank, not inherited ones from parent ranks.
Eight new entries have been added to the /benchmarks page, drawn from profiling runs: chunk size reductions, container timing, Wings memory usage, and console load times.
