I don't see it ever described in these terms, but any of the Solid pod providers that show up are equipped by default to host a static site. It's true that if the host uses the reference server implementation then your landing page gives you and your visitors a baroque and confusing data browser, but you can drop your own index.html into the root and you're good.
Pros: It's more or less straightforward HTTP, with no separately advertised, out-of-band endpoint; you POST or PUT to some URL, and then your content exists at that place. You can even add ACLs for other people (if you can manage to figure out how they work). It's slightly-more-than-static if you want, so you could have such things as a 90s era guest book or hitcounter for "free".
Cons: most instances advertise no stability guarantees, and no host I've seen supports any kind of CNAME/ALIAS for custom domains
There's also 5apps.com.
Pros: It's been around for a while, and the people seem very committed to keeping it around longer still
Cons: Access to the full plan is free for FOSS, but if you're not FOSS then using a custom domain requires at a minimum the $3/month paid plan, with metering and tiers that go up from there
