Which Hosting Service Should I Choose for My Real Estate Landing Page: Netlify or Cloudflare?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm new to web development and I'm currently working on a simple landing page for real estate. I'm looking to make this page live soon, but I haven't set up a domain yet or implemented a way to send user inquiries to my Gmail. My code is hosted on GitHub. I started off by using Netlify for hosting, and so far, it's been really smooth with the integration. However, I've been reading about Cloudflare and noticed many people favor it, but I'm confused after seeing some discussions about potentially high costs with Netlify. I want to know if I should stick with Netlify, switch to Cloudflare, or explore other services that might be better as I'll eventually need a paid option as my traffic grows. Any suggestions?

Have you considered GitHub Pages? It’s a popular choice for hosting, but keep in mind that they require your repository to be public unless you're willing to pay to keep it private. Just something to think about!

So, you're working on a simple real estate site? I’m guessing it doesn't have listings or search functionality, right? Just a straightforward presentation of one project?
CuriousCoder92: Yes, exactly! It’s just one page showing all the details of a single project.

Netlify is fantastic for starting with static sites and simple setups, especially since you're just getting into it. If it’s working well for you now, there’s no urgent need to switch! Just keep an eye on their limits and pricing as your site grows. Cloudflare Pages is a good alternative if you're looking for more control and want to avoid unexpected costs later on. It's worth considering, but for now, you might be fine sticking with Netlify!
NewbieExplorer45: Thanks for the advice!
TechSavvySam: Does Cloudflare Workers also host React projects, or do they have to be on Pages?
