The secret is out. Web-hosting providers like bluehost and siteground gear towards the old and ill informed businessmen. For $3.50/month you can get a AWS lightsail wordpress with a free CDN. That should be a easy set up and low maintenance solution. It should take about 10 minutes for an experienced admin to point the DNS and get started. A non experienced admin should be able to follow a guide and be ready in an hour. After that the under-the-hood maintenance should be an hour a year updating for basic website. Don't forget to use AWS snapshot to backup your lightsail.

There are many others like cheap hosts such as Linode or hetzner that are a little less abstracted (you need to install wordpress).
