You don't need netlify, Github pages or Cloudflare pages would do just fine. Email is a problem though and I'd wish you could easily integrate with your own email provider (ie: Fastmail, Gmail, etc..) to send newsletter to your 100s of subscribers.
I use ConvertKit for the newsletter. Its pricing is far more reasonable than MailChimp and the like. But in general, mail is more complicated than it seems, and I ended up giving up on self-hosting it.
