Pricing — Cloudflare
Pay for the site,
not a subscription.
Most platforms charge a plan fee every month for as long as your site exists. This one doesn’t — hosting, security and your domain sit in a single account in your name, and the only thing you keep paying for is the domain. You’re not trading down to get it, either: it’s quick wherever your customers are and protected by default. Costs a bit more to build, next to nothing to keep. Build your estimate below.
FAQs1 — Minimum project baseline
Pick oneAdditional pages (section 4) only attach to the Standard build.
2 — Cloudflare infrastructure setup
RequiredDeployment on Cloudflare Workers with Git-based CI/CD · DNS migration with existing email (MX) records preserved & verified · standard contact form with Turnstile spam protection · Cloudflare Web Analytics · SSL, caching & WAF baseline · account handover
Before quoting — check who manages the client’s email. Cloudflare requires nameserver delegation, so the client’s DNS (including email MX records) moves to Cloudflare. Confirm current email hosting and who administers it before committing to a launch date.

9 — Cloudflare hosting
Billed by CloudflareHosting is set up in your business’s name, with access for me. A standard business site runs on Cloudflare’s free plan — static pages and images are served free with no traffic cap. If your project needs extra server-side features, Cloudflare’s paid plan starts at US$5/month, and I’ll flag that in your quote.
