A year ago I researched this topic for a static website of my own. All providers I looked at were $5 and I want to say the cheapest I found was slightly lower. By comparison, I am still within free tier limits of AWS S3 and cloudfront (CDN) since I am not getting much traffic. So my website is on edge locations all over the world as part of their CDN for free, but if I host on a single server in Ohio it costs $5/month.

Did you check NearlyFreeSpeech.net? If you are getting little traffic it costs practically nothing for a static site.
An idle site that receives no hits still costs around $1.50/month with NearlyFreeSpeech.net since the change that limits the number of "non-production" sites that was instituted from around the time when Cloudflare decided to kick out the white supremacists.
Thank you! That did not come up in my search, but it looks great and is reasonably priced. I may use that for another project.
