Just throwing in the idea: Static pages can be hosted free of charge
on GitHub, via github pages (http://pages.github.com/). The sites are
served from the Rackspace cloud, which promises high reliability (they
boast 99.63% uptime over the last 365 days) and low latency.

Since the FEniCS site is powered by sphinx, deployment is really
straightforward. There is even a python module for deploying sphinx on
GitHub pages: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/github-tools/

Let me know if you'd consider this option and I'll be happy to assist.
