Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare would be a perfect combination for hosting a static site. Unfortunately there's no way to map a Backblaze bucket to a domain, so even if you use cloudflare to point www.mydomain.com to it your files still show up at www.mydomain.com/path/to/bucket.

But it certainly works if you need to CDN a bunch of large files.

You can use Cloudflare Workers to rewrite the path.

Those get fairly expensive if you have a lot of requests.

Page rules are free if you only need a few, though.

3 pages rules are free. You need at least 2 page rules per website you want to use with Backblaze and Cloudflare, and that's for bare minimum workability.

For a commercial company paying $5-10 a month to save TBs of bandwidth via Backblaze & Cloudflare is a no brainer. It's just unfortunately not very workable for small projects. Github Pages works with Cloudflare for static sites just fine though.
