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).
I don't think that is correct. I think they provide a basic virtual
machine. You can run what you like on it, A webserver such as Nginx,
Apache, etc, or Wordpress.
There are three broad levels of hosting.
1/. Bare bones static pages. Upload and go
2/. Restricted access to things like databases or some content
management system like word press or joomla
3/. Full virtual private server.
Oddly enough they are all similarly priced. The benefitrs of VPS is you
get to do what you want. Te downside is its more compelx to set up - you
probably need a linux guru to do that in te first instance
I'm not 100% on the limitations as I've only actually used a Google
Cloud paid for service, which was brilliant, but as I understand it the
free services work in the same way.
Here is a guy discussing it.
