porkbun is another domain name purchasing service you can look at. And cloud providers (like Alibaba Cloud) often have their own as well (of course you can't get any domain through any service).
There are ways to host a simple static website basically for free, without running a dedicated server or dealing with web server complexity, using a service like Codeberg Pages (https://docs.codeberg.org/codeberg-pages/using-custom-domain). It's somewhat technical. You have less control over it of course, but it's probably a lot less of a maintenance burden than Wordpress or any other software that requires its own server. Not much needed to secure it. Probably a lot of peace of mind compared to have a server running 24/7 that you have to basically be on-call for.
I wonder about email hosting too. I think any third party email hosting provider is probably a rip-off because they usually charge by the user (Alibaba Mail is $4 per user). So if you have two users that's going to cost twice as much as a single user, even if the second user doesn't get used much. Maybe worth it if you only need a couple email address. But if you end up growing then you'll have to pay a lot more.
