Looks like that site has a misleading name. It isn’t telling me who I am hosting with. It’s only telling me that I have cloudflare in front of it.

If Cloudflare is masking your origin to provide WAF capabilities, which it does for most - then I'd say this is expected results.

It is expected result yes. Not disagreeing with you on that. I am simply saying that CF is not "hosting" the site. It's the middle man. The host is hidden.
