Does anyone know if I’m legally allowed to use cloudflare pages(free) for commercial use?
And can I have a .com domain with it?

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/22/24, 6:14 AM

Yes to the first question

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/22/24, 6:15 AM

As for the second one, sure, but you still need to actually own a .com domain

HHello, I’m Allie!As for the second one, sure, but you still need to actually own a .com domain

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 6:16 AM

Yes I’ll buy it from wherever I get it cheap on a short period of time, can’t go for 1 year yet

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 6:17 AM

Do you have any recommendations?
Or what’s the og .com domain place?

Southpaw•10/22/24, 9:56 AM

I’ve never seen anywhere that will sell a domain for less than 1 year.

Cloudflare sells them with no markup from wholesale price. Other vendors may be cheaper for the first year, but they usually put the price up from Year 2 onwards.

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:51 AM

How much is it on cloudflare for 1 year?
And do I have to be in any of the major countries to buy it?

Southpaw•10/22/24, 11:51 AM

I think it’s the equivalent of $7.99 or so?

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:51 AM

Okay that’s well within my budget

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:52 AM

I’m currently searching for a website or blog that lists domain register availability based on countries but I can’t find any

Southpaw•10/22/24, 11:52 AM

I don’t know if there are geographical restrictions, though.

Southpaw•10/22/24, 11:52 AM

I don’t think so.

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:53 AM

Ckoudflare does say “from the drop down” meaning the country as to be on there no?

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:53 AM

I’m in Bangladesh so idk if I can buy

Southpaw•10/22/24, 11:55 AM

I think you should be fine, but they might not take your local currency.

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:56 AM

No I’ll pay in usd just the address and what not

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:56 AM

Plus the phone number

Southpaw•10/22/24, 11:57 AM

I think it’s worth a try.

They don’t say anything in the docs about geographic restrictions.

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:57 AM

Okay imma give it a go

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 11:58 AM

People recommending GitHub pages
But I’ve previously used cloudflare for my project websites and liked the simplicity that’s why I came here first

You can still use GitHub pages if you really want just use Cloudflare as your DNS manager

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 12:02 PM

I mean is there a reason to use GitHub over cloudflare?

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 12:02 PM

They both free

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 12:02 PM

And with cloudflare I don’t have to scratch my head over where to buy domain

Iislaptheshiiouttau I mean is there a reason to use GitHub over cloudflare?

fry69•10/22/24, 12:02 PM

The reason would be that you are more familiar with setting up a static GitHub pages site

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 12:03 PM

I’ve never done that
I’ve uploaded files and got websites running on cloudflare pages before

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 12:03 PM

Just not with a purchased domain

Southpaw•10/22/24, 12:20 PM

GitHub pages is fine, but it’s only really free for open-source sites.

Cloudflare is often faster because they have more locations around the world.

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 2:45 PM

I’m kinda confused on the “static” site thingy
My website is basically html css and js(for some animation and a YouTube video that’s linked to the site)
Does cloudflare pages(free) support all that?

Southpaw•10/22/24, 2:46 PM

Yes

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 2:46 PM

1 video
Few pics
And ease in-out animation

SSouthpaw Yes

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 2:46 PM

If this is static
What’s unstatic?;-;

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 2:46 PM

Things with back end?

Southpaw•10/22/24, 2:46 PM

Basically, yes

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 2:46 PM

Got it

Southpaw•10/22/24, 2:48 PM

Anything where different users might see different things.

If there are accounts, or if it fetches data on the server side to incorporate into the page it sends to the client, etc.

(Cloudflare Pages does actually support that, but only a limited amount in the free version).

fry69•10/22/24, 3:05 PM

Static assets are great. Simple but useful example -> https://github.com/fry69/cloudflare-mta-sts-static

In one of the points it says “worker enabled” what is cloudflare workers for?

Iislaptheshiiouttau In one of the points it says “worker enabled” what is cloudflare workers for?

fry69•10/22/24, 4:22 PM

I should probably remove that point, since workers are always enabled and not even needed in this case, thanks for pointing out. Otherwise I am still under the impression that pages are kind of redressed workers. The main thing is that this shows how to deploy static assets with the most minimal setup while doing something useful.

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 4:28 PM

Got it
Thanks again

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 4:39 PM

I watched a few videos on web hosting, free and paid
They talk about privacy protection
SSL certificates etc etc

islaptheshiiouttauOP•10/22/24, 4:39 PM

How does cloudflare pages free and also the paid ones stack up against something like hostinger

Foreignity•10/22/24, 9:16 PM

Hello everyone, I'm getting this error for the 4th deployment in a row, while I haven't changed anything in my Functions, I only changed a style element.

jLynx•10/22/24, 9:32 PM

There seems to be an issue with functions or D1. All of a sudden our deployments have started failing with

Error: Failed to publish your Function. Got error: binding MYAPP_DB of type d1 failed to generate. Please try again later or contact support.
