Deployment: Bringing Your Project to Life

Zinley offers powerful deployment capabilities, allowing you to take your project from local development to a live, accessible website with ease. Whether you're a Pro tier user seeking full control or a Free tier user looking for quick deployment, we've got you covered.

How do we deploy your project while respecting your privacy?

Our AI evaluates whether your project is deployable, zips it, and deploys it directly through our infrastructure. We do not read or store any of your code. All deployments automatically expire after 15 minutes, with a 15-minute grace period to reactivate if needed. After that, the deployment is completely removed from our infrastructure and resources are released.

Deployment First Project!

  1. Make a website or use a existing project: This guide will walk you through how to make your first website First Website Guide.

  2. Domain setup: Go to the deployment page and set a desired domain name:

    Deployment

  3. Manage deployment: Easily switch your deployment online or offline:

Your Website Is Now Live!

Once deployed, your website will be accessible at the chosen domain, like this example: https://kensushi.zinley.site/.

With Zinley, deploying your project is seamless—simply set it up, go live, and share your creation with the world!

Managing Deployments

Multiple Deployments

  • On the Projects screen, click the rocket icon in the top right to access deployment management.

Updating an Existing Deployment

Update Deployment

  • To replace an existing deployment with a new project, simply enter the domain name you wish to take over. Zinley will automatically switch and redeploy your new project on that domain.

    Update Deployment

  • Note: You can only update domains associated with your account, as they are account-specific.

Concurrent Deployments

The number of active deployments you can run simultaneously varies by tier:

  • Free Tier: 1 concurrent deployment
  • Pro Tier: Up to 10 concurrent deployments

If you need to exceed your tier's limit, you'll need to shut down existing deployments first. Simply click the rocket icon in the top right corner of either the main screen or inside the project details to toggle deployments on/off. When you toggle a deployment off, the 15-minute grace period applies. We automatically remove all deployments that have been toggled off for more than 15 minutes to conserve resources. We plan to extend these time limits in the future as we expand our infrastructure.

Domain Management

Domains follow this format: [name].[host] For example: helloworld.zinley.site

When deploying:

  • If you deploy to a domain you already own, the new deployment will automatically override the existing one
  • If the domain is taken by another user, you'll receive an error and need to choose a different name
  • After deployment expiration and grace period, domain names are released for reuse
