Static hosting for $5 a month seems too high. If it would be $1 I might use it. But for $10 a month you can get a good VPS that you can use for any hosting needs (including a gitlab/gogs/whatever instance and a demo of your project (if it's on the web)).

I agree, perhaps the price isn't perfect, but $5/month buys you not having to manage the server, configure nginx for your domain, easy site upload, etc.
