Where Zeros Host wins for GMod / DarkRP
A Backdoor Scanner BisectHosting does not have.
Free GMod addon packs regularly ship with hidden remote-access code — obfuscated RunString / loadstring calls, http.Fetch fetch-and-run chains, calls out to known malicious domains. Our Backdoor Scanner is an AST-aware Lua analyser that scans your addon files against known malicious patterns and flags the exact file and line. Included on every plan; no upsell. BisectHosting does not publish anything equivalent as of writing.
DarkRP tooling built by people who run DarkRP.
Job Creator, Shipment Creator, Entity Creator, CustomCheck Builder — all in the panel, no Lua editing required unless you want it. BisectHosting will host DarkRP but does not ship dedicated tooling for it. If you already know DarkRP configuration by heart, this changes nothing. If you spend hours in jobs.lua tuning custom jobs, it changes a lot.
Point your own AI at your server, in read-only, today.
We ship the Model Context Protocol surface: you paste one command into Claude Code (or any MCP-compatible AI assistant), and the AI can inspect your server files, read your console logs, and search for issues. Writes and power actions are landing next. No other host in this bracket has this. It is not a chatbot in a panel — it is your existing AI, connected to your server, with per-capability keys you control.
GBP pricing, no exchange-rate drift.
BisectHosting prices in USD. If you are a UK or EU customer, your monthly bill drifts with the exchange rate — 2026 has been a rough year for that. Zeros Host prices in GBP. From £5/mo for GMod. What you see is what your card is charged, regardless of what the pound does that week.
Where BisectHosting wins
We are not the right answer for everyone. BisectHosting genuinely beats us on four things worth naming:
- ·Modpack catalogue. Their 2,300+ one-click Minecraft modpack library from CurseForge / FTB / Technic is genuinely the best in the market. If you want to spin up FTB SkyFactory 5 or ATM10 tonight with zero setup, they have the shortest path.
- ·Instance Manager. Swap between different modpacks on the same server without losing world data. We do not have this yet — it is on the roadmap. If you regularly rotate modpacks, BisectHosting is a better fit today.
- ·Game catalogue and regional footprint. 100+ games, multiple US and EU nodes. If you host Ark, Palworld, Space Engineers, TF2, Squad, or players spread globally, that gap matters.
- ·Track record + review count. BisectHosting has been running for over a decade with thousands of Trustpilot reviews. We are newer and we have a small number of reviews. If sample-size is what you weight most, that is a fair reason to pick them.

Why would someone move from BisectHosting to Zeros Host?
The three most common reasons we hear: pricing in GBP without USD conversion drift, a Backdoor Scanner that catches malicious addons before they run (BisectHosting does not ship one), and a DarkRP Config Builder for editing jobs, shipments, and ULX groups visually. If those three do not matter to your setup, BisectHosting is a solid host — this is not a page about them being bad.
Is BisectHosting bad?
No. BisectHosting is one of the largest game hosts on the market with a 2,300+ Minecraft modpack catalogue, an Instance Manager for swapping between modpacks without losing data, 100+ games supported, and a decade of track record. If you run a specific modpack from CurseForge or you host a game we do not, BisectHosting is a reasonable choice. This page is about whether Zeros Host fits your specific stack better.
What does Zeros Host offer that BisectHosting does not?
Backdoor Scanner (AST-aware Lua analysis for known malicious patterns, included on every GMod plan), Mod Manager that installs addons from a GitHub URL in one click, DarkRP-specific tooling (Job Creator, Shipment Creator, Entity Creator, CustomCheck Builder), a Browser IDE (VS Code-style editor in the panel), and MCP — point your own AI assistant at your server to inspect files and logs, with writes landing next.
What does BisectHosting offer that Zeros Host does not?
A 2,300+ Minecraft modpack catalogue with one-click install (we install from GitHub URLs but do not maintain a curated modpack catalogue yet), an Instance Manager that lets you swap between modpacks without losing player data, 100+ supported games including many we do not host, and multiple regional server nodes across US and EU. If you want to run FTB SkyFactory or ATM10 tonight with zero setup, they have the shortest path.
Can I try Zeros Host without cancelling BisectHosting?
Yes. Every game type has a 24-hour free trial with full panel access. No credit card required. Run both in parallel for a day — spin up the same gamemode and addon set on each, compare feel, panel speed, support response. Keep whichever you prefer.
How does migration work if I move from BisectHosting?
Download your server files from BisectHosting (SFTP works, or their web file manager for smaller sets), then upload to Zeros Host via the panel File Manager or SFTP. For Minecraft world data specifically, world/, level.dat, and your mods folder cover most setups. For DarkRP: addons folder + DarkRP modification + server.cfg. If you get stuck, message us on Discord — we have done this migration and can help.
