I do that. I have WordPress.org with classic editor enabled and the raw html plugin. Use a classic layout like twenty twelve if you don’t want the fancy effects. Look for a host that has softaculous or something similar to automate the installation. My host charges about £60 pa with unlimited bandwidth.

You can also use WordPress.com for free but it has Gutenberg, which I absolutely cannot bear. Some people like it though. It’s also less customisable.
