It took me about an hour to set up an AWS static website backed by S3 and cached by cloudfront. I use Jekyll and simply sync the _site folder to s3 to update my website. Some nice things about this setup: 1.) AWS static sites don’t insert trackers 2.) There is zero maintenance 3.) Cloudfront + static website is very fast 4.) Setup can scale near infinitely (so can your bill) Downsides: 1.) You are locked into AWS. Although migrating to another provider to serve static files would be trivial. 2.) If your website took off in popularity the bill might be more than you are comfortable with.
