You will find a cheaper hosting option. GitHub and GitLab pages are both free for static sites. I've used both, they both are pretty painless. You basically click "make this a website" and tell it your URL. Automatically HTTPS, completely free.

Yep, and there is also https://neocities.org/ for example :).

Wow, I didn't know you can even hook up your own custom domains (looking at GitLab pages). That's pretty amazing.

gitlab is simply amazing! Moved some years ago from github.com, haven't regretted it at all!
