How the monthly CDN limit works

Websites on a pooled CDN include $0.25 of CDN usage a month, with warnings at 50% and 80%. At 100% the CDN pauses until the month ends or you add a top-up from your Zinn® credit.

Websites that serve visitors through one of our pooled CDNs (Bunny, KeyCDN, CDN77 and Gcore) have a monthly CDN usage limit. It keeps one very busy website from running up a bill nobody expected, and it resets at the start of every month (UTC).

How much is included

Each website includes $0.25 of CDN usage a month. Usage is the traffic the CDN delivers for the website, priced at what the CDN charges us. You can see how much the website has used this month in Sites, then the website, then its CDN tab.

Warnings before the limit

We tell you when a website reaches 50% and again at 80% of its monthly limit, in your dashboard and by email. Each warning offers a top-up, so the website keeps serving visitors for the rest of the month.

What happens at 100%

When a website uses its whole limit, its CDN pauses until the end of the month, and visitors cannot reach the website through the CDN. Nothing is deleted: your files, database and settings are untouched. A top-up switches the CDN back on within a few minutes, and the next month starts with the full limit again.

Top-ups

Top-upAddsPrice
Small$1 more CDN usage$5
Medium$3 more CDN usage$12
Large$10 more CDN usage$30

Prices are in US dollars. A top-up is paid once from your Zinn® credit and lasts until the end of the current month; top-ups stack. To add one, open the website's CDN tab and choose a top-up in the Monthly CDN limit card. Adding a top-up needs the permission to manage payments on your account.

Which websites have a limit

Only websites on a pooled CDN (Bunny, KeyCDN, CDN77 and Gcore). Websites on Cloudflare, or with no CDN, have no monthly CDN limit, and the CDN tab shows that the website is not metered.
