Can't you run this for free on Netlify?

I'm pretty close to reaching their free tier's cap on outgoing bandwidth. They only give you 100 GB. To buy another 100 GB I would have to pay $20 per month (4x as expensive). Also I don't feel comfortable basing my entire business on Netlify. My blog and course landing pages are how I earn a living. It's the same reason why I don't use GitHub pages. I just don't like the idea of having to adhere to their TOS (even if I'm not doing anything wrong) and also be limited to their free tier's traffic constraints. I'm sure they are a good company and I wish nothing but the best for them but I just don't see them as a good fit for me given the above.

  How do you view your Netlify usage while on the free tier? Your comment made me curious about my own usage, but I can't see a way to determine my current usage through the Netlify website.

    > How do you view your Netlify usage while on the free tier? I am not sure. I never used their service. I got my usage numbers from DigitalOcean's dashboard. But I recently looked at Netlify to host another static site and they mention that 100 GB limit on their pricing page.

    According to my DO stats I average ~60 GB per month in outgoing transfer. I guess it's because I have a lot of photo gallery images of travel trips and they get caught up in image search results. I'm not sure why it's so high to be honest. It is going to go up quite a lot too because now that I have a podcast, each episode is around ~50MB for the mp3. I might end up putting the mp3s on a CDN in the end. Probably DO Spaces.

Netlify + Cloudflare has a very high free limit.

  These two don't play nice together. That is you can't use cloudflare as a CDN and netlify without netlify complaining to you about not being able to provision your ssl.
