Knowledge base
Bring your own Cloudflare, CDN, DNS, Git, static-hosting, SEO-data and Gcore accounts so your sites run on accounts you own and pay for, managed from one dashboard.
You can run parts of your hosting on accounts you own — your own CDN, your own DNS, your own code hosting — and still manage everything from your Zinn® dashboard. The account, the contract and the bill stay yours, so moving away from us later costs you nothing on that front. Each kind of account has its own guide with the exact steps for creating the key.

You can connect more than one account of the same kind — an agency might keep client work on one Cloudflare account and its own sites on another — and choose per site or per domain.
We test a key before saving it; a key that does not work is never stored. A key that works is kept encrypted in our secrets vault, never in our database, and is never shown again. For CDN, DNS and Cloudflare connections, a checklist beside the connection shows which permissions we could confirm, so a missing one is visible before you rely on it.
We use a key only for what its connection is for. We ask for the narrowest permissions that work, and each guide lists them.
Integrations → the account → Disconnect deletes the stored key at once. Anything using it stops at its next action and says so. Disconnecting does not undo what was already done, and it removes our copy of the key — revoke it at the vendor as well if it may have leaked.

How hosting shapes indexing and link equity in 2026: keeping pages indexed, vetting aged domains before you build on them, link building without a footprint, and an honest line on what infrastructure can and cannot do for SEO.
