Free Hosting Suggestions

Hi, I am a neocities user, but recently I've found that the social media-like follow function, profile commenting and recent activity page has started making me feel uncomfortable using the site. I would like to find a free host like neocities that allows me to create a website using old fashioned coding techiques that is free of the social media aspect. I'm not interested in followers, and getting comments for the things that I'm working on - I just want to create a small site to hold the stuff I'm working/researching, but I keep finding free hosts that rely on premade templates and AI content generation. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Wait, you can do that??

Is this a more recent thing? It's been ages since I updated my website.

I'm not sure when it started; as far as I know, it's been a thing since before I joined two years ago, but I only tried experimenting with it myself recently.

You can find it under the site settings page. (Settings > Manage Site Settings > Profile.) There will be two check boxes labeled "Disable Site Profile" and "Disable Profile Comments".
