You can get quite far without that box, even, and just use Cloudflare R2 as free static hosting.


CloudFlare Pages is even easier for static hosting with automatic GitHub pulls.


Happy Netlify customer here, same deal. $0.

(LOL 'customer'. But the point is, when the day comes, I'll be happy to give them money.)


Careful what you wish for. Netlify sent a guy a $104k bill from the free plan. Thankfully social media outage saved the guy.

Netlify changed their pricing after that so that free accounts are always free.


Could you give a reference please? I was literally going to recommend Netlify at work, but didn't after I saw that story.


Is $0.55/GB not enough reason to avoid them? I guess not if your business is making more than that - bandwidth expense for a shopping site shouldn't be a problem when the customers are spending $100 for every 0.1GB - but that price should realistically be closer to $0.01/GB or even $0.002/GB. Sounds like they're forwarding you AWS's extremely excessive bandwidth pricing.


> Is $0.55/GB not enough reason to avoid them?

Where did you read that? The pricing page says 10 credits per GB, and extra credits can be purchased at $10 per 1500 credit. So it's more like $0.067/GB.

> The free plan is always free, with hard monthly limits that cannot be exceeded or incur any costs.


FYI I just migrated from Netlify to Cloudflare pages and Cloudflare is massively faster across all metrics.
