You would need a domain name (approx £7 every couple of years for a

traffic and you don't require anything fancy by way of support or
scripts).


I think Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services have a free tier
offering free micro servers.


They may well do but most such offerings are of the moron user drag and
drop interface type with rigid site templates. He wants a server that
will let him upload old school bare bones HTML (some free sites may).

A sympathetic webmaster might well make available a bit of space for a
low traffic but interesting site. Old hobby sites are tiny 10's of MB
compared with even the smallest aliquot ~2GB of hosting available today.
