If you are a student who is learning web development and you are doing some personal projects, once you complete your projects, you need to host it somewhere to share it with your team or your mentor for free. For hosting the site, there are multiple free options available on the internet. The most famous option is GitHub Pages. Upload your files on GitHub and go to the settings page and change it to main, that’s it, your site is live. Then you can share it with the team. Refer to the docs below.
Now there is another platform which is giving the place to host your site for free, and they just released the feature yesterday. The platform is Cloudflare, which is a CDN which helps the website run faster and keep your site running when it is under high traffic, and also majorly helps in preventing the site from hacking.
The new feature is Cloudflare Drop. Just access the URL and just drop your site there, that’s it, your static site is live for 60 minutes and gives you the temporary URL, and the screen shows the timer as well. This feature is making our work easier since we just have to drag and drop the files into the place to host, without any signup or setup needed. If you need to own it and keep your site live, you need to claim it by creating a free account on Cloudflare
Cloudflare itself also has an option to host sites for free with certain limitations, which is a separate offering from Drop and is meant for those who want a permanent site rather than a temporary one.
As of now, there is no official info on file size limitation from their end. As a static site, there will be no high-end files, so you can assume you can host high-end files as well.
