Don't forget to find hosting that doesn't buckle when you get front-paged.

that's called a static site :-P

It really depends on the server. You can crush even something as resilient as Nginx serving static files if you try hard enough.

Sure, but it's orders of magnitude faster than dynamic sites. Additionally, stick CloudFlare in front of it and it's 100% fine for 99% of sites :)
