How is Cloudflare so cheap?

It's a good thing too.

I have never been paid for writing about a company and their services, but I get asked if Cloudflare is expensive all the time, so thought it was a good moment to give them some publicity. They are cheap because of the competition in the space, you can also save money if you host your own site, using services like Namecheap and others which offer cheaper SSL certificates and the Cloudflare plan comes with no bandwidth costs.

It's cheap for 2 reasons; the cheapest plan gives you one domain name and only 25GB of memory, which will probably be enough in the early days when you can barely launch anything new. Later in life as the site gets more traffic, you should upgrade to something like the Cloudflare Business plan which gives you unlimited, uncapped, resources which is basically an all out unlimited resource. It is much cheaper over 24 months and if you look at the prices, they have come way down since the early days.

The first thing you will notice when logging into the dashboard is it looks like all other cloud hosting dashboard like Google or Rackspace but it has a few differences, mainly the top left navigation. You can upload files, change who owns the domain, use plugins (plugins being WordPress specific content management systems that you can add to your site and can be pretty heavy or light) you have unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email addresses and DNS settings if you want to use them. In the top right you will see statistics, it tells you how many domains you have used Cloudflare on and how much bandwidth and data you are using. It also gives you a summary of all the things you have done in Cloudflare on your site like IP addresses. All these things are listed under Settings. There is also a menu on the left hand side that says View, Edit, Delete and About. Under View you will see an image of your site in Cloudflare, a page with your Cloudflare statistics and other images that you may see on your website.

Edit is for changing your website's domain, it goes directly to the WHOIS database. For example, if you just bought a domain and registered it to your name using Cloudflare then it will go to the WHOIS database to check what IP you bought the domain from.
