I think security is one of the reason that static CMS have become so popular. Also it lets you easily separate content from the CMS (in the form of markdown, asciidoc, rst) and, maybe most importantly, it makes it very, very fast and makes it easy (and cheap) to host almost anywhere.

I use hugo with aws s3 bucket static web hosting + cloudfront currently. Costs me absolutely nothing with the AWS free tier (5GB of S3 and 50GB of cloudfront free per month). Generate the site in hugo then use the aws cli tools to sync to s3. Because it's almost entirely html with very few images I don't think I could ever hit those AWS free tier limits.

edit: I actually just checked and the free tier is only 12 months. My last months bill total was $0.01 for s3.
