I can recommend to use Hugo [0] as a static website generator. They have plenty of themes [1] to choose from. You can still adjust it with basic knowledge in HTML/CSS. Afterward you can chose where to host it. You can use Github Pages [2] for free or pay for a service like DigitalOcean [3]. I wrote a technical cheatsheet [4] on how to setup your own website with these ingredients.

Does GitHub support Hugo? As I only know that it has support for jekyll. If they support then I want try with it. I tried with jekyll but i find customization little complex.

Same. As far as I know, GitHub only supports Jekyll. If you need to serve Hugo for static site generator, I would recommend to use GitLab Pages [1]. It's free and you can connect your own domain and TLS certificates. Not to mention, your repository visibility.

You can deploy any static website with GitHub. You can't just run backend code and can't have a database there.
