For a smaller site like that, you might want to consider
NearlyFreeSpeech.net. With their service, you only pay for what you
actually use. I've found that they're very honest and transparent
about how everything works and their forum to be pretty good. There is
some specific limitations to the service due to how their clustering
system works (no SSL or CRON), so it isn't appropriate for all uses
(though you can get around CRON usually).

However, for a simple site that's a couple of HTML pages with some
graphics, it'd probably be under $1 a month. If the site doesn't get
much traffic, it might even be less than 50 cents a month. It'd also
be fine for most uses of WordPress or Drupal (enabling MySQL would
only cost about 30 cents more a month).
