Cloudflare Launches Web Hosting Service Called Cloudflare Pages

The content delivery network Cloudflare has announced that it launches its own cloud web hosting service called Cloudflare Pages. "Today, we’re excited to announce Cloudflare Pages: a fast, secure and free way to build and host your JAMstack sites," announced CloudFlare in its blog. Jamstack is an architecture designed to make the web faster, more secure, and easier to scale. It builds on many of the tools and workflows which developers love, and which bring maximum productivity.

Cloudflare says that its "Pages" service offers "Seamless Git integration, with builds built-in". According to the company those who would use Cloudflare Pages website owners have to select their repo, and tell Cloudflare which framework they use. CloudFlare promises to "take care of chanting CI incantations" on the client behalf, while the client can simply "git commit and git push changes", while CloudFlare Pages "will build and deploy them"."

Cloudflare also says that with its "Pages" each commit will get its own unique URL. The blogs posts says that "Preview URLs make it easier to get meaningful code reviews without the overhead of pulling down the branch. They also make it easier to get feedback from PMs, designers and marketers on the latest iteration, bridging the gap between mocks and code".

The free tier of Cloudflare Pages allows users to work on 1 build at a time with up to 500 builds per month. The Pro plan costs $20/month and allows for 5 concurrent builds with 5,000 builds for month. The Business plan is priced at $200 for month and allows for 20 concurrent builds with 20,000 builds per month. Regardless of which plan the website owners choose though, they will be able to create an unlimited number of websites with unlimited requests and bandwidth.

"From day one Cloudflare was built to service developers. Over the last ten years, millions of developers have counted on us for our network performance and security services. With Cloudflare Pages, we're now providing them with a scalable, fast, secure, cost-effective platform to build next-generation applications that they can deploy globally. Internally, we believe it's only a matter of time before an individual developer builds a billion-dollar company on their own. We hope Cloudflare Pages will provide the building blocks to help make our belief a reality," explains co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare Matthew Princ.
