Stories like this make me extremely hesitant to try AWS. I was about to try S3 for a static site I was working on this weekends but I think I am gonna stick with netlify or digital ocean instead after reading this.

Having worked with S3+Cloudfront as well as Netlify, I can say with confidence that Netlify is better anyways. And it's hard to beat free...

In theory, I'm sure you could do that with the free tier. In practice, activating that free tier requires a valid card, and I'd highly advise never giving them your own. Whatever alternative you can think of is 100% better for your sanity.

  They accept prepaid gift cards as valid.

There are also other S3 providers with much more sensible pricing, like Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or Cloudflare R2.
