    How much traffic is the site expecting, and what requirements do you have? As in languages, db's, etc?

    If it's a personal site, or relatively low traffic site, Google App Engine is the way to go. It's absolutely free up to a certain, very generous traffic quota.

    They can host PHP, Go, Java, or Python based sites right out of the box. I think node.js will be a standard option too pretty soon. If you need only HTML / Javascript, you can use the Python build, which has a very simple to use web server

    -------------

    The downside is that you will have to learn the App Engine way of doing things. It's not inherently difficult, but it is probably new to most people.

    If you've ever used digital ocean, or any other similar host, you would pick it up pretty quick.
