99,99% of people are overestimating their blogging needs. Unless you're Scott Hanselman the cheapest Hetzner VPS will cover all their hosting needs. It's amazing that even many developers nowadays don't really understand how far just basic hosting will take you before you need edge, cdn, s3 or anything else.
Netlify and similar services have replaced me ever launching my own server ever again for personal projects that involve static content. Not sure how Netlify affords to serve all the traffic but so far so good on the free tier.
Modern static hosting providers have generous free tiers, amazing UX, zero maintenance, and handle all the same if you have 1 or 1 million visitors (the only difference being your bill).
