Azure Websites (free level) is also an option: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/web-sites/
The free level only allows "azurewebsites.net subdomain with FTP/S and SSL".
If you want a custom domain name in Azure Websites, then you need to pay for the "shared" level (at least) and in my opinion the price goes over what any standard hosting company would charge:

1 site, 2GB bandwidth = $9.68/mo!!

BitBalloon http://bitballoon.com is free and easy to deploy to. They also compress your assets and host it on a cdn!
if you are using a git repo, you might want to check out github pages - https://pages.github.com/ - free to host
I would definitely recommend this; especially if you're a developer looking to host a personal webpage for employers to look at. You can also create a page for each of your projects on GitHub!
How about weebly or startuply?
Costs me about $0.50 a month to host a simple, static site.
