AWS has a free tier as long as you don't go over limit. But obviously if you get DDoS, then your bill can go up.
Digital Ocean is a good one for $5 and pretty stable for me. If all you need is a static site, use github.

No, I don't care if it means amazon doesn't get paid for the bandwidth consumed by an attack. Sometimes all I care about is not getting a 10k or bigger bill at the end of the month for what was advertised as free. IMO they really need a way of automatically shutting down VMs that go over limit instead of just charging the credit card on file.
Also, they have http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/Developer... but like a lot of things with AWS, it's ridiculously complex.
Of course it would require you to set it up, but for the vast majority of companies that are on AWS, if they were to go over their budget, it would be worse to shut down the instances in that case...
