Why not just selfhost for FREEEEEE?

Is it? A basic server is like 10 bucks a month, if you need a powerful server you should have users, so it will pay for itself.

Just buy a $5 dollar vps from Digital Ocean, install apache or nginx, and serve. The reason why web hosting is expensive is because it's geared towards normies who can't into configuring a server.
A vps is better because they have high speed internet and won't go down when the power goes out. Also, you don't have to deal with noise, or anything else annoying. Once you've set it up, you won't have to touch it again.

What are you trying to host?
You can host static sites for free on surge.sh, gitlab pages, or github pages.
You can host any sort of backend stuff on a $5/month VPS with Digital Ocean.
You can use Cloudflare for a free CDN.
Shit's pretty cheap nowadays.
