So, if I need a company website, can i do the following:

- drop my html into Cloudflare drop

- setup a CNAME DNS for my domain to point at cloudflare URL

- profit

?



No, a CNAME can only point to a host name, not a URL. So Cloudflare’s servers would need to know about, and be configured to serve the correct web page for, the “real” name from your side.
