Fast, secure hosting for static sites and Jamstack apps with unlimited bandwidth

Cloudflare Pages is the “set it and forget it” hosting option. Unlimited bandwidth on the free tier means you never worry about traffic spikes: if your blog post goes viral, you do not get a surprise bill. The free plan includes 500 builds a month, and Cloudflare’s Pro plan ($20/mo billed annually, $25 monthly) raises that to 5,000. The site you are reading right now runs on Cloudflare Pages.

Cloudflare’s documentation now says “Start new projects with Workers”, describing Workers as its primary platform for building applications and noting that it supports most Pages use cases with a broader feature set. Pages is still offered, and Cloudflare publishes a guide for moving a Pages project to Workers. The tradeoff is developer experience: Vercel and Netlify have smoother workflows, faster builds, and more integrations. But if your priority is reliable, fast, cheap hosting that does not punish you for success, it is hard to beat free-with-unlimited-bandwidth.

Best for Solo builders hosting static sites or front-end apps who want to stay on the free plan as traffic grows.
