I strongly agree with your last paragraph. I used Heroku for my wedding website and I would 100% use it again on a project site.

In about 15 minutes I was able to take my site from localhost to a custom domain with SSL with just a little more than a git push. I can't think of many solutions that are simpler than that.

This is literally Netlify's core offering.

Vercel and Github pages would be better IMO if it's a static site.

If it’s a static site then just dump it in an s3 bucket and be on your way.

Static websites have their own issues but an S3 bucket is probably the worst hosting mechanism for them these days. The other services mentioned are much nicer and easier to deal with.
