I just did my first WebGIS page with qgis2web. You can visit it at 
http://karte.nrwbahnarchiv.bplaced.net/

I used the Openlayers build, because it has some better symbolizing than 
the leaflet one. I added some features like URL parameters and WMS 
basemaps (instead of WMS layers) myself. The vector layer data is stored 
as geojson files.

You surely need a web hoster (I use a free account at bplaced), but no 
online database or server management is required. An ftp access is the 
only thing you need.

You can even add your own tiles if you render them on your PC and uplaod 
them to the usual folder structure on your webspace.

HTH,
