Cloudflare¶
Cloudflare fronts the entire bytell.com zone and provides edge primitives (Workers, Pages, R2) that complement the OCI/GCP backend.
Zone¶
- bytell.com — fully delegated to Cloudflare (NS:
danica.ns.cloudflare.com,michael.ns.cloudflare.com) - Free TLS via the universal SSL cert
- DDoS protection and CDN included on the Free plan
Tunnels¶
cloudflared named tunnels expose private services to gated hostnames without inbound firewall rules. Tunnel hostnames and configuration are kept private.
Free-tier capabilities¶
| Service | Free tier | Status |
|---|---|---|
| DNS | unlimited records | ✓ in use |
| TLS | universal cert | ✓ in use |
| Tunnels | unlimited | ✓ 4 active |
| R2 | 10 GB + $0 egress | not yet adopted |
| Workers | 100k req/day | not yet adopted |
| Pages | unlimited bandwidth, 500 builds/mo | not yet adopted |
| D1 | 100k reads/day | not yet adopted |
| KV | 100k reads/day | not yet adopted |
| Email Routing | unlimited routes | available |
| Access (Zero Trust) | 50 users | available |
Why Cloudflare matters¶
R2's zero-egress pricing is the most strategic free-tier offering across all four providers — anything that needs to be served out (downloads, public datasets, large media) costs $0 from R2 vs. metered from OCI / GCP / GitHub.
