CDN + DNS + security
Puts a CDN, DNS, SSL and DDoS protection in front of a site hosted anywhere.
The catch: You must move your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare to use it.
Open-source CDN
A public CDN that serves files from npm packages and GitHub repositories.
The catch: It only serves files already published to npm or a public GitHub repo, so it cannot host a private site.
Object storage
S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees, often used to serve large files.
The catch: The free tier only covers Standard storage, and you must add a payment method to turn R2 on.
Check a name, set up DNS and test the site once it is live. All free, in the browser.
