What it is
Cloudflare Pages is a free static site hosting platform with a global CDN, automatic HTTPS, and continuous deployment from Git repositories.

It is the hosting layer for The Grove's website.
Why we picked this
Free, fast, and global. Cloudflare Pages is the best hosting option for static websites, period. The combination of unlimited bandwidth (no surprise bills), global CDN (your site loads fast everywhere), and Git-based deployment (push to deploy) makes it the obvious choice for creators building with Hugo, Astro, Next.js, or any static generator. For green creators, the zero-cost hosting model means your web presence has no ongoing financial overhead beyond a domain name.
