Glad that I wasn't the only one to have alarm bells go off in my head when I read that first step. There are plenty of other rational options, most people are saying github pages, but I'd like to put forth the NeoCities + Hugo combo as an alternative. It's a bit more complicated than I'd like but it's absurdly easy to modify and make content for once it's set up.
