  If you really, really want to, sign up for a custom domain and use CloudFlare.

  That’s misleading for a beginner. You make it sound like it’s just two upgrades. It’s actually: go out and get paid hosting, buy a domain, map the domain to that site, and transfer your contents from here to there, then closing THIS site.
