Hosting a Static Website Using Amazon S3

In today's world, most websites are static, which means they run no server-side code and only consist of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. There is no server-side code to run, so there is no reason to host them on a traditional server.

Hosting static websites on an S3 bucket costs one to two dollars monthly and scales to millions of users.

Let's learn how to create a S3 Bucket and host the website.
