Alternative to github pages? (reddthat.com)

Is there a good alternative to github pages? I need just a static website up.

I have a domain.
I have my site (local machine)
And that's all I have.
I have a machine that could be running 24/7 too.

I recently used Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/) as a static site generator. I found it easy to use. I personally used Gitlab pages, because I didn't feel confident hosting on my home internet (didn't want to inadvertently cause issues for my housemates when I'm still learning this stuff).

The nice thing about static sites is that it's pretty easy to find free or extremely cheap hosting for them.
