About the company
ZAP-Hosting GmbH is based in Münster, Germany. The company says Marvin Kluck founded it in May 2010, starting the business from his childhood bedroom. Its current legal notice identifies ZAP-Hosting GmbH as the operator. The available information does not establish a parent company or confirm the founder's ownership stake.
The brand is particularly associated with game-server hosting, but its catalogue extends to other server products and services for gaming communities, websites and online projects.
What ZAP-Hosting sells
- Game-server hosting: Hosted servers for a broad range of supported games and configurations. The listed options include game controls, file access, backups and mod or plugin installation on supported setups. This is aimed at players who want a multiplayer server without managing the physical hardware.
- Lifetime game servers: One-time-purchase game-server options where offered, rather than the usual subscription arrangement.
- TeamSpeak servers: Hosted voice servers for groups that want a dedicated place to talk while gaming.
- VPS and virtual servers: Virtual private servers, including configurations for selected applications. These offer a more general-purpose server environment than a game-specific package.
- Root and dedicated servers: Root-server hosting and physical servers for customers who need server-level control or dedicated hardware.
- Webspace and domains: Website hosting, domain registration and domain transfers for websites and online projects.
- Bot hosting: Hosting for TeamSpeak and Discord music bots, plus Discord bots using Java, Python or Node.js.
- Premium backup storage: A separate storage service for backups.

Who should consider ZAP-Hosting?
ZAP-Hosting may suit gaming groups that want a hosted server for a supported game, plus users looking for virtual or dedicated servers and related services from one provider. It may be less suitable if you need a specific product in a particular location without first checking availability, or if you want fully clear, consistent contract and cancellation terms before choosing. Review the terms for the exact service and billing arrangement.
