Writing comments to file instead of storing them in a database

I am considering to add a form beneath some of my web pages which would allow visitors to add some comments.

Normally, this would be done by sending the info to a mysql database, however, my web host does not supply a database.

As I don't expect a lot of response, I thought of just opening the html file when someone adds a comments and pasting the text directly in the html document instead of storing them in a database.

My question: is this a bad idea? (I mean, no one else does it, so there must be some drawback to this method, no?)
