I've recently found that GitHub pages + Vitepress (or similar) are an excellent way to host a static site. You can write articles in markdown, push them to your repo, and within a few seconds it deploys the updated HTML to your site. GitHub pages is totally free hosting that can handle high traffic, Vitepress looks great and has a ton of plugins, AFAIK they'll only remove content if it infringes on copyrights and/or trademarks, and you can set up custom DNS and have your own domain. This all requires some basic coding skills, but could also be easily toolified if anybody here felt inclined to make it available to non-technical people.
