Total Newbie Looking For An Affordable Hosting Option

Hi everyone. I am starting a law firm business and have someone building the website for me. There is no confidential information or payment service on the website. It’s all pretty basic. This is a WordPress website and I don’t expect a lot of traffic especially early on.

The developer is telling me we need a host with a capacity of 32GB and 6 vCPU. That sounds pretty high. In any case, when I look online hosting is very expensive at $1000 per year or more.

Am I looking in the wrong places? What is my most affordable option? Many thanks in advance.
