Unless you have non-technical people writing posts on your site or need some kind of dynamic content, I'd definitely recommend going with a static site generator. To me, it feels like a bit of a waste to spend money on Wordpress/VPS hosting if all you're going to use it for is to display text.

I'd personally recommend Netlify instead of GitHub Pages, if you do decide to go that route. They have a few more features, a really good CDN and (most importantly, in my opinion) they support HTTPS with custom domains.

Genuine question, as I'm fairly ignorant with regards to IPv6 - in what scenarios would that be an issue?
