8 free magic features Cloudflare that you have been missing: Tap to see real use examples πππ (saves me $200/m)
1. email forwarding This one is my fav π§‘ Cloudflare forwards all incoming emails from any of my domain inbox to a single gmail. E.g. you can email me at alex(@)http://isora.me or dsa123(@)http://isora.me and i will receive those.
2. CDN I was too lazy to set up an S3 image storage for http://startupswiki.org and got charged $29 for AWS EC2 traffic in March. Fixed that by setting up image caching in Cloudflare. Now all images are stored there, and I pay pennies to AWS (sorry, Jeff! π).
3. Static hosting. You can host your simple html+css+images site there for free. I host http://saas.page there. I like it because it is as simple as drag and drop a zip. Yes, I know about github pages, but I'm too lazy to configure git, okay π
4. buying domains Technically, Cloudflare is the cheapest domain registrar in the world! They charge no extra fee besides the ICANN's base price. So it is $10.44/y for a dotcom. I like it so much I pushed it on the first place on my directory http://domainregistrarslist.co... π
5. invisible CAPTCHA I use it to protect http://uploadfile.click from bots. It was an easy walk installing it with Cursor AI (God bless vibe coding! π)
6. Always Onlineβ’ Caches a static version of a website so it is available in case of an origin server downtime. Very useful when you have 20+ websites to take care of π₯΄
7. free storage Cloudflare R2 is a free AWS S3 alternative. It costs $0 per GB of bandwidth. I like this type of pricing models π I use it to store static files and user uploads for @paracast_io and as the main storage for http://uploadfile.click
8. web analytics Clunky and inaccurate. But it works! π If you are too lazy setting up analytics, and you just need the basic numbers, use this! No scripts, no sign-ups. Just click a button and start gathering visits.
