1. email forwardingThis one is my fav 🧡Cloudflare forwards all incoming emails from any of my domain inbox to a single gmail.E.
g. you can email me at alex(@)isora.me or dsa123(@)isora.
me and i will receive those.2. CDNI was too lazy to set up an S3 image storage for 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! 😎).
3. Static hosting.You can host your simple html+css+images site there for free.
I host 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 😁4. buying domainsTechnically, 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 domainregistrarslist.com 😁5.
invisible CAPTCHAI use it to protect uploadfile.click from bots. It was an easy walk installing it with Cursor AI (God bless vibe coding! 🙂)6.
Always OnlineTMCaches 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 🥴7. free storageCloudflare R2 is a free AWS S3 alternative.
It costs $0 per GB of bandwidth. I like this type of pricing models 😁I use it to store static files and user uploads for @paracast_io and as the main storage for uploadfile.click8.
web analyticsClunky and inaccurate. But it works! 😁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.
\Thanks for reading my post! 😁.
