ZAP-Hosting review
Official FiveM partner with a huge catalogue, one-off lifetime servers and a game cloud for switching titles.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ZAP-Hosting, based in Münster, Germany, is best known as a FiveM host, and Cfx.re lists it among its authorized partners. The wider catalogue runs from Minecraft variants at $3.20 a month to Counter-Strike 2 at $5.75, with RedM, Arma Reforger and a long list of preconfigured game-mode products in between. Every game server can use the game cloud to switch to another title, and if you book your own IP address the default port follows you.
The unusual part is the lifetime option. Most games can be bought once, for example a FiveM server from $79.92 or a Counter-Strike 2 server from $63.25, instead of paying monthly. ZAP also sells VPS and dedicated servers that include its game server web interface on Debian or Ubuntu, which suits people who want to grow from a rented slot to their own machine.
Expect some inconsistency in the details. Monthly prices on the game list and on the product pages differ by a few cents, the FiveM page lists both AMD EPYC with DDR5 and older Intel Xeon E5 hosts, and only eight locations appear on its game pages. None of that breaks the service, but check the configurator before you pay.
