Articles written in 2023 should not be recommending Hostgator. Cloudflare Pages, Github Pages, Gitlab Pages, Netlify, etc, etc. It's all free at this level. Vastly distributed and they can all use CI/CD to build static-site-generator configurations for you, if you want that. It's not about the money. Hostgator has been a recurrently awful host over the past 21 years, cutting people off as soon as they get popular, downtime when they overoversell their service. They're a relic, alongside Dreamhost, Bluehost, GoDaddy; the type of host we just don't need any more. The rest of the article is right: you may not need anything more than HTML+CSS, but life is a lot easier if you don't have to build it yourself. I'll take Astro + Git + Cloudflare over "gen.php" + FTP + Hostgator any day.
