Web Hosting from Cloudflare

Hi, I use builtwith.com to check a guest posting site's web hosting provider and found that it is using Cloudflare Hosting (screenshot below)

Does anyone had the experience to use Cloud Hosting?

Did they provided wordpress hosting? Because the guest posting site is using wordpress web builder (I judged as the login page is wordpress one).
Actually I checked on cloudflare website, didn't see the web hosting option...

But I am thinking how the guest posting site's web hosting provider is Cloudflare, but it is built with wordpress web builder...

Can anyone guide me and give me a direction on what knowledge I am missing out? Any term or phrase... I can try to google search for deeper understanding (if you can explain to me, I would be veryyyyyyyy appreciate! )

Yepp I use them for multiple projects. You can only host static projects though (no server side code. Only html/js etc). For more info google “cloudflare pages”.

Oh, and pages won’t be enabled by default. You will need to enable it separately. Then only you will be able to use it.

I don't think CloudFlare has a WordPress hosting option.

BuiltWith shows that the website is hosted on Cloudflare just because it scans the website's IP address (which is proxied through Cloudflare) that belongs to Cloudflare. Cloudflare hides the real website's IP address.

Hi sladki03 CloudFlare is good website

Do you use WordPress and convert it to a static website using simply static or a similar plugin? Or do you use a static site generator?

Umm I use static site generators like next.js. Even used react.js directly for a company I used to work in.

edit: ps, I have heard that wp can be exported to static pages as well. Not sure if this is true though. Let’s wait for an expert on that.

Haven’t heard of a cloudflare hosting, maybe they are using cloudflare cdn and that tool thinks cloudflare is the web host, that’s probably the case. Or if it’s some sort of static hosting like the other person mentioned, It can only host static files, so HTML CSS JS. Won’t work with PHP. But if you are looking to host a static page, go with google cloud bucket instead, network is much better.

Yes it can, like a landing page that won’t get stuff from backend (posts, etc) stuff that won’t get updated dynamically. Or you if you need to pull stuff from a backend you will need to make a script client side to fetch from a api, because php won’t work on static hosts.

if you use cloudflare DNS then your site will also show same, even your site hosted on blogspot or wordpress or wix, builthwith has very old technology that only can scan site ip's can't scan the hosted server

@Gogol @xanaIDE @TiagoS Thank you for explaining!

Hi @incrediblestudio , if builtwith is with very old technology, is there any other platform can check that? Or if a site is using CloudFlare DNS, we are unable to track their web hosting provider?

About this project​

Browser caching, DNS propagation and the like can make it tricky to tell if Cloudflare is enabled correctly. This tool will make it easier — the only caveat is that the DNS must have propagated to our networks. By scanning a website you are agreeing to our https://checkforcloudflare.selesti.com/usage-policy.html.

Some websites use asset domains (e.g. https://static.domain.com/image.jpg) that use Cloudflare instead of their primary domain, so you may need to check these as well. You can enter full file URLs to check if a particular file is served by Cloudflare.
