:::warning Sunsetting on July 20, 2026

The subhosting v1 API will be shut down on July 20, 2026. Migrate to the
<a href="https://api.deno.com/v2/docs">v2 API</a>. See the
<a href="/subhosting/manual/api_migration_guide/">API migration guide</a> for
details.

:::

The Deno Subhosting service includes resources (CPU time, request counts) that
are subject to this Acceptable Use policy. This document can give a rough
estimate to what we consider as "Acceptable Use", and what we do not.

### Examples of Acceptable Use

- ✅ Server-side rendered websites
- ✅ Jamstack sites and apps
- ✅ Single page applications
- ✅ APIs that query a DB or external API
- ✅ A personal blog
- ✅ A company website
- ✅ An e-commerce site

### Not Acceptable Use

- ❌ Crypto mining
- ❌ Highly CPU-intensive load (e.g. machine learning)
- ❌ Media hosting for external sites
- ❌ Scrapers
- ❌ Proxy or VPN

## Guidelines

We expect most projects to fall well within the usage limits. We will notify you
if your projects usage significantly deviates from the norm. We will reach out
to you where possible before taking any action to address unreasonable burdens
on our infrastructure.
