3. Some non-CMS options to consider

Unless you are updating the content of the site all the time (daily or more often), you might consider trying a static site generator instead of a database-driven CMS (content management system).

Advantages are that you can host a static site for almost nothing on either AWS S3 or Google Storage (also on google app engine) or any number of static hosting sites, and it's also close to unhackable (as much as any account anywhere is).

Here are two of the top contenders:

Since you don't need a database, you don't have to pay for one, or worry about scaling it (and maintaining it).
