If all you really need is static web hosting there's several "good enough" or even "really good" free options these days, and many of them have insane reliability/uptime and can even build your site/blog for you. Many of them can be set up to deploy automatically when you commit to a repo.

- GitHub Pages and Netlify are the two obvious and most popular choices, but there's also cloudflare, gitlab pages, hell even Keybase has static website hosting: https://book.keybase.io/sites



Yeah, I was going to recommend Keybase as well, despite still being extremely butt-hurt over the sale to Zoom and subsequent abandonment of continued development on it. While it has some limitations, it's hard to beat their combination of uptime, price, a built-in Markdown parser so you don't even have to muck around with Jekyll/Hugo/Pelican et al., as well as mobile apps that expose the files and directory structure for editing on the go. You can even map it to your own external domain.
