Why is Cloudflare Pages' bandwidth unlimited? (mattsayar.com)
This site is hosted with Cloudflare Pages and I'm really happy with it. When I explored how to create a site like mine in 2025, I wondered why there's an abundance of good, free hosting these days. Years ago, you'd have to pay for hosting, but now there's tons of sites with generous free tiers like GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Netlify, etc.

200GB Free Cloud for Your Files (tomaszdunia.pl)
My post about the free VPS server from Oracle is a true hit on this blog. Looking at the stats, it has more views than all other posts combined. It’s no wonder, because I think everyone likes to save a little and get something cool for free.

Reaffirming Our Commitment to Free (cloudflare.com)
Cloudflare launched our free tier at the same time our company launched — fourteen years ago, on September 27, 2010. Of course, a bit has changed since then — there are now millions of Internet properties behind Cloudflare. As we’ve grown in size and amassed millions of free customers, one of the questions we often get asked is: how can Cloudflare afford to do this at such scale?
