Cloudflare is a proxy service to protect your website, so you need a third party hosting service to actually host your files.

Cloudflare Pages is as close as it gets, but isn’t traditional hosting so depends on your developer if you want to use it…

Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) and not a traditional web hosting provider . You will need to have web hosting as well as the CDN service. You can choose a hosting service that automatically provides Cloudflare access or sign up for the service on your own.

Thank you
