I use Hugo [0] and host on Netlify, but anywhere works. Couldn't be happier. I used Wordpress and Jekyll previously, but Hugo has been a good upgrade.

The problem with Wordpress is that it's difficult to export content if you ever decide to move, unless you love dealing with SQL and format conversion. It's also annoying to host since it requires a database. Static site generators like Hugo/Jekyll can be deployed anywhere for cheap without dependencies and since it's just plan text / Markdown it's easy to move between frameworks.
