Website Host

Can anyone recommend a website host and site build program that is fairly simple to either move a website, or create a new one. As you all might know, I'm pretty tech dumb, and have problems with tech stuff, so just built it once (actually several times) and then tech changes happen make it less useful.

It purely informational, posts photos from our trips, and talks about wildlife and places to see - things to read. Does not sell anything.

We just want to post nature info etc, a few other things. Mostly a static site, unless I add trip/nature photos or some destination or habitat words occasionally.

I've had Go-Daddy for a couple years, but it keeps tweaking my content, removing some plug-ins etc, and generally fouling up the site every few months - then wants to sell me a 'fix-it' patch.

Go-Daddy claims tech support is USA - Arizona, but I just spoke with a tech based in Philippines I could not understand - believe me, I tried. ... interestingly enough, Philippines is a Tagalog AND English speaking country- But not this guy.

    I used Yahoo Business (I think they renamed it). It's intuitive and easy to use. Again when I was using it selling items at Amazon. I think they are using India as tech support so the best way to communicate is by chat - not voice.

    I'm surprised about difficulty in understanding Philippine tech support. They are trained and would even have a US English accent.

    Yeah, you'l get charged with upgrades like adding a payment portal, etc.
