Serverless
This website costs far less by running without servers. This is done by consuming #serverless services from Microsoft Azure. Typical website hosting would require a web server. Which costs, depending on scale, maybe 5-10€ each month to run a single website. If you'd see a huge spike in views your server will most likely go down.
Serverless, on the other hand, scales event-based. Additionally, you do not need to manage any server at all. You'll just provide the code to run (e.g. Azure Functions). While servers need to be up 24/7 to serve potential customer requests, serverless will only run when there is an actual request.
