Website hosting
Fast, secure hosting, looked after for you.
Your site runs on Cloudflare’s global network, so it’s fast wherever your customers are, with free automatic HTTPS, security built in and us looking after it.
What is website hosting on Cloudflare?
Every website has to live somewhere. Hosting is where your site’s files are stored and served to visitors. We host sites on Cloudflare, the same network that hosts our own site. Cloudflare deploys your site’s files in one operation and serves them from locations closest to your visitors, with automatic caching across its network.
What our hosting includes
- A fast network. Your site is served from Cloudflare’s global network, from the locations closest to each visitor.
- Free, automatic HTTPS. Cloudflare says it issues free, publicly trusted SSL certificates for domains on its network and handles issuance, renewal and deployment automatically. We set it up so visitors see the padlock.
- Security settings. We can add security headers to your site, as we have on our own, which tell browsers to connect securely and block some common risks.
- Domain set-up. We connect your domain to your site and make sure the address works with and without www.
- Aftercare. Once your site is live, we look after updates, security, backups and changes for you. See our web design service.
- Speed checks. We test your pages on a phone and fix what slows them down. See whether speed affects SEO.
Why hosting matters for SEO
A site that loads quickly and securely is a better experience for visitors, and page experience is one of the things Google asks site owners to get right. Hosting does not rank a site by itself, but a slow or insecure host can hold good content back. Our SEO service and AI SEO service work best on a fast, reliable foundation.
What suits Cloudflare
Cloudflare is an excellent home for fast, content-focused websites such as business sites, landing pages and blogs. If your site is built another way, tell us how it is built and we will say honestly whether it suits Cloudflare or needs a different approach. We would rather tell you than move a site that will not work well.
How we work
- Discovery call. We learn about your site, your domain and what you need.
- Plan. We agree how your site will be hosted and what happens to your domain.
- Set up and test. We deploy the site, set up HTTPS and security settings, and test on a phone and a computer.
- Go live and look after it. We switch your domain over, then take care of updates and changes.

Frequently asked questions
Why host a website on Cloudflare?
Cloudflare serves your site’s files from locations close to your visitors, caches them across its network and issues free SSL certificates automatically, so the site is fast and secure without you managing servers.
Will my site have HTTPS?
Yes. Cloudflare says it issues free certificates for domains on its network and renews them automatically. We set it up and check it works.
Can you host my existing website?
Tell us how it is built. Many content websites move across well, and we will tell you honestly if yours needs changes first.
Do you look after updates and security?
Yes. Our aftercare covers updates, security, backups and changes.
Does hosting affect my Google rankings?
A fast, secure site gives visitors a better experience, and Google asks site owners to provide good page experience. Hosting alone does not make a site rank, but a slow host can hold good content back.
