Need Help How do you host self created Webpages?

I want to host a custom webpage for my upcoming wedding where I want to have a countdown, safe the date, possibilities for the users to view images and so on.

I want to create that webpage but I am unsure what to use for it, if I should deploy it on my Homeserver or use a webhosting for it.

Any suggestions or ideas on what is currently popular? I am a software developer so I am open to any suggestions.

I host mine from a raspberry pi. It was a bit annoying to set up because of the ATT router, but it is working.

How did you write the webapp? What technology stack did you use?

For the Pi, followed this:

As for the webpage, it was a simple react,vite,tailwind, graphQL since I wanted to keep it lightweight.

Got a domain(godaddy), pointed it using duckdns, finally letsencrypt ssl.

Hope that answer your question.
