Well the problem as he's described it is that his country has quite poor internet performance. I personally think that the page he just linked is almost finished-- maybe he can add headers or footers or some kind of navigation system, but overall the page seems to work great.
If he's thinking of paying $8/month, and since he's interested in learning as much as he can, I'd personally recommend he try a free-tier Microsoft VM, just because I'm an Azure fanboy. Having an Azure VM, I'm extremely happy with the performance-- I'm kind of thinking that free with MS or Google will be better than $8 with Hostgator or the like.
Also, they are not exclusive-- he can try a few free offers (MS offers about $200 credit for new accounts) and get some hands-on experience with more than his current super-crappy free shared host.

Haha that reminds me of a story. I had a Radio Shack Color Computer, and when almost all my friends had C-64s, I bought a memory kit to hard-upgrade my comp to 512Kb RAM. I had to cut jumpers, pry out chips, and so on-- it wasn't plug-and-play like today's RAM.
When I told all those C-64 guys I now had 512Kb ram, I expected jealousy. Instead I was greeted with laughter-- they openly mocked me, saying that such a huge amount of RAM wasn't even possible, and calling me a big, fat liar.
Of course, I could do only two things with all that high-powered sexiness: use it as a RAM drive, which meant loading about 3 floppy disks worth of content and hoping to God I didn't get a power spike, or use it for sound editing. With 512KB I was able to make about THIRTY seconds of edited sounds. . . samples at different pitches, reverb, etc. Basically, I was the real-life, twelve year-old version of this:
