Try GitHub and netlify combo

Is it free

Totally! It even comes with Let’s encrypt ssl setup

Thanks, what will be the use of gitHub here. I am non technical guy so pls excuse my lack of knowledge here

GitHub is a SCM (Source Code Management) tool which is primarily used to host one projects code and it's free!!! And in this case you can host your static sites code and netlify can be used to build and publish your site with free ssl. Once the setup is done, netlify takes care of the rest like for example if you plan to publish a new blog/article all you need is to push it to GitHub repo and netlify will automatically build and publish it to your site.

This brings me another question - how to push code to github from changes being done from WordPress admin panel.

Oh I never tried that but I love Hugo Static website themes https://gohugo.io/

I will give it a try, thanks

Give forestry a try.

There's also this https://www.netlifycms.org/

What are the benefits of these over WordPress+ aws or hostgator etc..

@flat-morning-91037 netflifycms has a nontrivial difficulty in setting up for someone who's non tech

Yeah makes sense, since I have used wordpress previously I would like to proceed with it. AWS has become complex as compared to when I used it last few years back. Will likely use managed hosting

Hugo is a static site generator, so you write a blog post in markdown, Hugo converts it into HTML/CSS. This is then uploaded to netlify/s3 and you can serve sites at a pretty low (or zero?) cost. There's no servers to maintain etc. the drawback is you nearly lose all the benefits a CMS provides. This is where headless CMS like NetlifyCMS, Forestry comes in - they provide a decent UI to manage the content. However if you're not conversant with git, markdown, terms like front matter etc it can become really convoluted.
