My advice: buy a bottom-tier VM. $1-2.50 a month. Install apache or nginx, pick a static site generator. Investigate LetsEncrypt. Run a local git repo and clone

My advice: buy a bottom-tier VM. $1-2.50 a month. Install apache or nginx, pick a static site generator. Investigate LetsEncrypt. Run a local git repo and clone it off to a local machine every so often. When you're feeling comfortable, buy a domain and set up LetsEncrypt for SSL. If you've found a limitation in the VM provider, consider moving to a different one. Consider whether a CDN is the right thing for you.
