- parkr 14y agoWhy would you want to pay for people to come to your site? Don't you have to pay Amazon for that bandwidth usage?
- sudonim 14y agoI'm curious. Setting things like this up is my idea of fun. I use the same technique for my business. I like static site hosting, and liked the idea of things being speedy no matter where our customers are. Cloudfront does that well. As far as cost. I'm 30 and I don't like relying on free things. Github probably wont go down, but I'd still rather pay. I set that up Dec 1st, served 100k pageviews. My Amazon bill right now is $1.25 (one dollar, twenty five cents). Maybe that'll go up, but for what I'm doing, I doubt it will be that expensive.
- parkr 14y agoHm, I didn't realize it was so inexpensive. I've only ever used S3 as a CDN for a huge site with lots of images, so it was an expensive endeavor.
- jvoorhis 14y agoI've run a Jekyll site from S3 with no difficulty, at a satisfactorily low hosting cost. Cloudfront takes only minutes to setup, and the costs are competitive, so I imagine it's a promising route.
- rschroed 14y agoIn fact for low traffic sites hosting a static site on S3 falls into Amazon's free tier.
- danjessen 14y agoThe great thing about jekyll is that it runs of github ... thats the main reason I'm currently building a site in Jekyll.
