White-glove setup · included on every plan

Tell us what you want to play. We build it, you log in.

A real engineer sets up your server for you. Not an upsell or a paid tier. It's just how we do it.

  1. You tell us the game, the modpack or plugins, and how you want the world set up.
  2. We build it: game, mods or plugins, world settings, whitelist, backups.
  3. Jump in and play: We join with you the first time, then stay a message away if anything's off.

Why switch

Thinking about switching?

Here's what changes when you move to Zappy.

More room for your money

Bigger worlds, heavier modpacks, more friends online. You get more RAM at the same price than the big hosts give you.

We handle update day

When the game updates, we update your server and make sure it starts. If a mod or plugin breaks, we help you fix it.

Your world is always backed up

Automatic backups on every plan, 5 or 10 depending on which one you pick. Restore or download your world from the panel anytime.

You talk to the person who runs your server

No bots, no scripts, no handing you off. Whoever answers can actually fix the problem.

We’ll move your world for you

Send us your files or access to your old server, and we’ll bring everything over. Mods, plugins, settings and all.

FAQ

Common questions.

What makes Zappy different?

You talk to the founder, not a ticket queue. We set up your server with you, join you for your first login, and stay a message away after that. Setup is free, and your world is downloadable anytime, so it's always yours.

Will my modpack run well?

Send us the pack before you order. We'll check it and recommend the right plan size, so your server runs smoothly from day one. If it needs 32 GB, we'll tell you.

Who owns my world?

You do. Download it from the panel anytime, as a full backup or just the world files. It's yours to keep.

Who answers when I need help?

Someone from our team who knows servers inside and out. Every ticket and Discord message gets a personal reply from a person who can dig into your setup and fix it directly. No bots, no scripts, no getting passed along.

Where are your servers? How's the ping?

Our servers are on the US East Coast, so players across North America get solid ping. Want to check yours first? Ask us on Discord for a test address and try it before you buy.

Can Bedrock players join?

Yes. On Paper and Fabric servers, Bedrock players join your Java world through Geyser, so the whole group can play together. Pick Paper or Fabric and we'll set it up for you.

Is there a setup fee? Can I upgrade later?

Setup is free on every plan. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from the billing area, and save by paying quarterly or annually.
