I have a soft spot for Neocities, which is trying to be everything we loved about Geocities, but for a modern age: https://neocities.org/ ZERO ADVERTISEMENTS , even for the free plan. Supports only static hosting, is free for 100mb websites with bandwidth of 50GB per month, or five dollars per month for 10,000mb with 2TB and a number of other extra features. EDIT: As mentioned by detaro, custom domain only supported…
It is cheap enough to not bother with the limitations of most low-cost static site hosting.

I can't find if neocities support custom domain names, any idea?
I'm very happy with the service at https://www.scaleway.com
Edit: Looks like it's because they're using Atom and ARM based servers.
If you want to get fancy you can even attach it to your domain root (example.com vs www.example.com) using Route53. Which is impossible with many static hosts. Although that requires a hosted Route53 zone which at $2 might very well be 100x your hosting costs.
I use Jenkins to generate the website itself.
Edit: Only downside is if your traffic spikes you have no control over the cost. There is no upper bounds. With that said, it would take a tremendous amount of traffic to balloon the costs to anything worth worrying about. And at least you can be sure your website will actually stay up.

I use AWS S3, which I put behind a Cloudfront distribution. It's quick to set up, and there are no servers to keep up to date and patched. You also get free SSL for your Cloudfront distribution via AWS certificate manager. For stuff like Contact Us forms, I use AWS Lambda to post the data into my company's CMS. We've had this setup for about a year now and it works quite well. The cost is almost nothing but we don't…

You'll save a lot on your bandwidth bill.

I think I'd go with DigitalOcean $5/mo, nginx, a static site generator (there's so many), and LetsEncrypt (for SSL).
