All users are also subject to a hard ceiling of 5,000 links they authored across their personal and team workspaces. Deleting a link reduces that authored count. Moving work into a team does not bypass it.

“No plan-based count limit” means the paid plan does not impose a smaller workspace quota; the 5,000-link user-wide safety ceiling still applies.

How team limits work

A resource inside a team workspace uses the team owner's current plan for file size and paid hosting features. A member's personal plan does not increase or reduce the team workspace's entitlement.

The 5,000 authored-link ceiling follows the person who created the links, including links that person created for a team.

Supported file types

The standard upload surface accepts:

  • PDF;
  • DOCX;
  • HTML/HTM;
  • TXT and plain-text CSV;
  • JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP; and
  • a ZIP containing a deployable static website on Pro or Business.

The file's actual content must match its type. Renaming an unsupported file to a supported extension does not make it uploadable. Server-side program files are not supported.

Website ZIP limits

Website archives have additional structural limits:

LimitMaximum
Archive entries5,000
Declared size after extraction200 MB
Control file size for _redirects or _headers64 KB each
Redirect/rewrite rules100
Header path rules100

The compressed ZIP must still fit the plan's per-file upload size. It must contain a usable HTML page. See Website Hosting.

Monthly views on Free

Free usage is counted across links served for the same personal or team owner during the month.

  • At 200 monthly views, Linkyhost can notify the owner that the included allowance has been reached.
  • At 250 monthly views, Free links stop serving and show an upgrade response for the rest of that monthly period.
  • Pro and Business do not use this monthly cutoff.

The dashboard usage meter reports the current personal-workspace month. Views to a team link count against the team owner.

Pro and Business production links can expire in 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or at a custom future time. A custom expiry must be more than one minute ahead and no more than one year away. Once expired, the link shows an expired response and is scheduled for permanent file deletion.

ZIP preview deployments always expire after seven days. Their expiry cannot be extended and they cannot use a custom domain.

Business API limits

The documented REST endpoint has two request limits:

  • 60 requests per minute from one IP address; and
  • 30 requests per minute for one API-key owner.

The link-list endpoint returns 100 records by default and accepts a maximum limit of 500. See API Reference.
