If the inspiration for this was to smack down a friend who hasn't started "his web site", then all this really proves is that putting content online is far less of a barrier than coming up with the content in the first place.

Putting HTML in place that it can be opened by a web browser is not a challenge and has not been a challenge for over a decade. Github is one choice, shared hosting is another... as the comments already show, you can argue pros and cons of various choices ad nauseum, even on such a trivial web page as OP's.

The larger point that seems to be getting missed is that the question of "How?" pales in comparison to the question of "What content should I put on my site in the first place?"

A shared google doc would be just as effective.
