I moved one of my projects off HostGator and onto Cloudflare this morning.
Mostly after spending way too much time with support trying to resolve an SSL error. After a few conversations that went nowhere, it felt like the right moment to, as usual, take matters into my own busy hands (on about three hours of sleep, naturally).
The site is now a simple React build (Vite + TypeScript) deployed through Cloudflare Pages, with GitHub triggering the builds. DNS, SSL, and the CDN are handled by Cloudflare, so there’s no server to manage and deployments are just a git push.
It was also a good reminder that sometimes we already know how to do a lot more than we think — it just takes being forced to deploy something for all those pieces to finally click together.
