Hosting a site at Cloudflare itself.
WHAT IT IS
Hosting for static sites, built from a repository and served from Cloudflare's network.
WHO IT SUITS
Documentation sites Brochure sites built with a static site generator Front ends that call an API elsewhere
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
Run PHP. There is no application server, no database, and nothing like cPanel.
A WordPress site cannot be hosted there.
THE TRADE
Extremely fast and essentially nothing to maintain, in exchange for no dynamic capability.
Forms, comments and search require external services.
WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE
A site that rarely changes, maintained by someone technical, where speed and security matter more than convenience.
WHEN IT IS NOT
Almost any small business site that someone non-technical needs to edit.
WHAT MOST PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED
Ordinary hosting with caching enabled. That is fast enough, and it can be edited by the owner.
WORTH KNOWING ABOUT
So you recognise it when a developer proposes it, and can ask who will maintain the content.
