I’m not just talking about a custom html block, a whole page with with fully working js and css, even php for phpmailer.
I want to make a blog page but creating a custom cms is such a hustle and my Saas hosting service doesn’t let me use CLI so I can’t use most of the headless CMS options, I was wondering if it’s possible to migrate a whole static website to WordPress and use it?
I’m sorry if this is a huge dumb question, and it probably is. I’m so desperate that I don’t care at this point lol.

No – you need to turn it into a template to be used in WP. Which isn’t that difficult https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
(yes you can put an HTML file in your WP folder, but that won’t give you access to any of WP’s features, like the editor)
If you have a functioning page you want to keep using as is, you can put your WordPress installation in a subdirectory.
Your page: https://example.com/index.php
Your WordPress install: https://example.com/blog/
Then you can fiddle with that existing to level page to include a pointer to the blog.
Otherwise you need to replicate the functionality of the page ( send email, whatever) in WordPress. That usually isn’t super hard, but it is a do-over.
Super curious what host this is.
