I run a cheap website and here is what I do

- cloudflare free tier for caching, DNS, page rules, etc

- run everything on one VPS(digital ocean, linode, etc) pick cheapest that has specs you need

- any non-trivial storage (media, big files) move to Backblaze B2 it's cheap (you can use free tier cloudflare workers to redirect to B2 for free bandwidth due to Bandwitdth Alliance)

- free static page from Netifly (I can redirect to this with cloudflare in case my VPS falls over or something to provide info/links)

- If I want to look at logs or something I rsync it my local machine (if I cared I could set up a process to push logs/backup etc to private B2 bucket)

You may not need exact same setup, I am optimizing for caching and cheap storage because my site stores/serves lots of media files.
