No shared hosting provider is going to want you to use there shared hosting offering for file storage.

You use the following (please complete/add to the list)
- Registrar: GoDaddy/Google Domains
- DNS: CloudFlare
- Mail: Office 365 / GSuite / Self Hosted / ZoHo
- Web hosting: Azure / Random cheap Shared host for basic web hosting
- ok
- Free plan?
- ok
- Azure: I thought Azure was a no-go?
- Where do you host 3rd party apps like NextCloud & OSticket?
The CloudFlare DNS is always free. It is their CDN that has paid tiers.
The free plan also include CDN.
Yes, but it has the paid tiers.

I've been looking to make the move to CloudFlare myself for DNS but here's a question for those who already use it. The "Client maximum upload size", if Cloudflare hosts your DNS records, are you then running in a "off Cloudflare" mode to allow file uploads larger than 100MB? Just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly.
If you turn off CloudFlare features for a URL, then CloudFlare neither sees nor controls that traffic. It is literally "off" and only a DNS service.

What are costs like?And vice versa, we've had many clients go down because of Azure stability problems (software, not hardware). We won't touch it or recommended it. Very high price, very low quality of service. Everyone makes mistakes but their ability to address them was terrible. And we've had hundreds of Azure consultants say they've had the same problem.

After reading this thread, I'm going to check out this hosting company: https://www.bigscoots.com

That was my first thought as well.

I haven't looked at the $$, what seems to be the problem?

$45/month for 1GB RAM and 20GB SSD storage. We're paying $50/month for 3GB RAM and 50GB SSD storage at viviotech.net, and the only reason I stay with them is their amazing support. You'd be getting 1/3 the RAM and less than half the storage, and I know we're paying to much for the service. In the case of Viviotech I know that extra cost is for the tech support that comes with it.
You can get a VPS from vultr.com for $5 with 1GB ram and 25GB SSD. For us, and equivalent vultr.com VPS would be the $20/month one, what we'd loose is the cPanel and additional support. Even viviotech.net isn't that much more money that vultr when not using the cPanel addon.

Like you just said, there's a price to be paid for great service.

That's a HUGE price, though. There are way better ways to skin that cat.

Yeah, but I'm talking about $5/month premium, not $20/month + less service.

Are we now looking at VPS's?
I thought the plan was basic web hosting + Cloudways/Vultr for VPS? -

I thought the plan was basic web hosting + Cloudways/Vultr for VPS?Uhm.... VPS cost so little now, especially through the $2.50/month Vultr plan. Why would anyone consider shared hosting still?

No one said not to have those things. I keep telling you, just install those two things on Vultr. Problem solved for cheap.
