Platform Limits
Reference for published limits and quotas on the YWT platform, including domains, hosting, DNS, and account features.
Platform Limits
This page documents the limits currently exposed by the YWT product and shared model. Some operational limits are enforced server-side but are not published as fixed public quotas.
Limits may change. The values on this page reflect current limits at the time of writing. For the most up-to-date values, check your YWT account where applicable limits are displayed in context. If you need higher limits for a specific use case, contact YWT support.
Domains

Static hosting serves static files such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, PDFs, JSON, XML, and text assets. Plan storage limits apply to uploaded and deployed content.
Plan changes and subscription billing are covered in Static hosting plans and billing.
Static hosting only. YWT hosting serves static files. Server-side languages (PHP, Python, Node.js, Ruby, etc.) and databases are not supported. If you need server-side processing, use an external hosting provider and point your YWT domain to it. See Use a YWT domain with an external host.
DNS

|---|---|
| Supported record types in the DNS manager | A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, HTTPS, MX, NS, SRV, TXT |
| Apex CNAME handling | CNAME at @ is converted to an ALIAS-style record internally |
| SOA records | Managed automatically by YWT |
DNSSEC
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| YWT nameservers | DNSSEC can be enabled from the domain's Nameservers & DNS Records tab |
| External nameservers | DS records can be managed manually |
| Safety note | Incorrect DS records can break DNS resolution for validating resolvers |
Account
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Accounts per email address | 1 |
| Two-factor authentication | Supported (TOTP) |
| API access | Not currently available |
| Payment methods | Shown at checkout by Stripe and account billing settings |
Rate limits
YWT applies operational rate limits to protect the platform from abuse, but the exact thresholds are not published as fixed customer quotas. If an action is temporarily limited, wait before retrying or contact support if the limit blocks legitimate work.
