Cloudflare Free Plan: CDN, SSL, DNS and DDoS Protection at $0

Cloudflare currently offers a $0 Free plan for personal and hobby websites that need foundational security and performance services. The official plan pages list global CDN delivery, authoritative DNS, Universal SSL certificates, analytics, bot protection, web application firewall features, rate limiting capabilities and DDoS protection among the tools available on the free tier.

Cloudflare positions the plan for personal or hobby projects that are not business-critical. Paid add-ons and higher tiers exist for advanced needs, so users should review the current plan comparison before relying on a specific advanced feature or quota. Cloudflare’s current pricing page also states that developers can start building for free without a credit card.

To use the offer, create a Cloudflare account, add a website or application, choose the Free plan where offered, and follow Cloudflare’s DNS onboarding steps. Because limits and individual feature entitlements can change, check the live plan page before migrating a production workload.
