What's an event?

Hosting on Linked.Codes is priced by monthly events. Here's exactly what counts toward your cap.

Hosting is priced by events per month — one number that covers everything billable on your platform. The simpler we keep it, the easier you can predict your bill.

One number, no surprises. Page views, short-link redirects, and link creations all add up to your monthly events count. Hit your cap, you auto-upgrade — never lose service.

What counts as an event

What doesn't count

  • Bot traffic that we recognise (search engines, link previewers, common crawlers) doesn't tick the counter.
  • Failed redirects (404 on a slug that doesn't exist) don't count either.
  • Static assets (CSS, fonts, images) — never counted.
  • API calls from your own dashboard tabs to refresh data — not counted.

Hitting your cap

Auto-upgrade is on by default. When you cross 80% of your event cap mid-month, we email you. Cross 100%, we bump you to the next tier instead of dropping service. Your invoice the next billing cycle reflects whatever tier you finished the month in.

Don't want auto-upgrade? Turn it off in your account settings — but then if you blow your cap, redirects start returning a 503 until you manually upgrade or the month resets.

What's next

  • Payments — Stripe setup for charging your own customers.
  • Custom domains — your domain doesn't change your event cost.
