This might be a good time to point out Cloudflare Pages: https://pages.cloudflare.com/

Under the free tier:

> Unlimited bandwidth

I'm moving everything to Cloudflare.

Just looking at pages.cloudflare.com now and I think I'm going to be using cloudflare from now on.

I'm trying to sign up but it keeps saying "Verification is taking longer than expected. Check your Internet connection and refresh the page if the issue persists."

Does anyone else experience this as well?

That's the Cloudflare user experience in a nutshell. Your users will see the same thing when they visit your Cloudflare-hosted site.

As a heads up, you can disable challenges almost entirely if you don't want any visitors challenged. Security -> Settings -> Security Level -> Essentially off

Might be iCloud private relay if you use that

Ditto. "Migrating from Netlify to Pages" : https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/migrations/migrating...

I didn't even know Cloudflare offered a JAMstack platform. I'm going to switch as I already use Cloudflare for domains.

Yeah, I'm already using Cloudflare because of Google Domains got de facto killed by Google via transferring it to Squarespace. Why not Cloudflare Pages, CDN, and R2 (S3-compatible storage) too? I'm even considering paying for the paid tier in the future if I ever go above the limits of 20 000 files per static site and the 25 MiB single file size limit [^1] (more than enough right now or in the near future).

[^1]: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/limits/

I was looking for a static site hosting option recently and tried out cloudflare pages. Fit my need perfectly. The generous free tier and the reasonable pricing model were the big factors.

Oh, and the ability to put some authentication in front of it was a big feature for me.
