on a normal day, CloudFlare's main benefit is as a CDN. It just caches static stuff for you and saves you the bandwidth cost. On a bad day, CloudFlare's a firewall blocking traffic you don't want. I'm oversimplifying, but that's all that I care about most of the time.
Well, just sign up for an entry level VPS then. Is there anything stopping you from just picking the starter tier and going with it? I like VPSes mostly because they give you a lot more control over how the sites are served and finer control over provisioning. Also, it's nice to not have to login to 8 different control panels with 8 different interfaces when you can have just one big umbrella to sit under.
You'll also probably get access to some logs that you wouldn't otherwise be able to access too, but just because it's a VPS doesn't entirely get you out of the "all eggs in one basket" problem. A VPS at the end of the day is still a shared server. It's protected from most resource leakage, but there are exceptional circumstances.
