I mean no website back then was telling you to block them if you want. They just didn't use javascript to detect blockers.

Also web hosting has gone WAY up. My simple static website used to cost $5 per month to host. Now it's $30 for the same spec server. The ones that are closer to $5 are so insanely oversold and slow, a website takes a good 30-45 seconds to load.

Unless you have millions of hits per month or your "static site" is Wordpress with a page builder, you might want to look into other web hosting offers. A VPS is overkill for a static site, and you can get a decent VPS for $10-$12 range. With enough bandwidth and io to host many static websites.

You can easily host a static website on a dirt cheap VPS. The Hetzner ARM boxes are less than $5/mo with an IPv4 address and are going to be more than sufficient for the average static website... My website is on a cheap VPS with worse specs than the Hetzner ones and it does not take 30-45 seconds to load.
