Do we have to use ZAP as a server host provider? I’ve heard so many stories about yes, no, maybe so. Zap put out an update on Friday for Linux servers, I installed it. It deleted EVERYTHING on my server. I’ve contacted ZAP Support and they are saying they can’t do anything because it also deleted the backups. If I switch to another provider, which I really think would be a better idea; would my server be blacklisted because of it?
No your server will not be blacklisted unless you go to a gameserver provider. You can use any provider for a VPS or Dedicated Server, granted the host does not offer gameservers (exception is ZAP hosting)
