You can still do all that with any competent shared hosting provider. (I guess "free, supplied by ISP" is rare nowadays, but you'll find other "free at some subdomain" offerings) Just because all these other options exist doesn't mean you need to use them. Plenty people I know still handwrite their HTML. Somehow people got to the point of thinking that the only way to host a website is renting a VPS and setting up everything themselves, and that's just not true. (and even if you do that, there's a range of how complex you need to make it)
