Just use a static hoster for a blog site (like netlify or even github pages).

I've got a small amount of dynamic content
DigitalOcean App Platform has a $5/month flat rate for dynamic stuff on top of two static sites hosted for free...
if something goes crazy and you end up using a wild amount of outbound data, it looks like the next jump up is only to $12
Depends on what you would consider a "wild amount".
Their app platforms' bandwidth pricing is pretty painful at 0.10$/GB. With these prices and considering the app platform lacks functionality like multi-regional droplets or VPC integration, they are a subpar choice even compared to Firebase or Amplify.
Author of the post here. Fun fact: if I paid that for how much traffic I'm getting, this post would cost me $5 for being on the front page of hacker news for a few hours.
Most of static site hosts nowadays provide (serverless) functions for you to do something on server side.
what if they want to use a CMS?
