How to host a website for FREE using AWS? | Static Website Hosting with S3

Hosting Static Website with AWS S3 | Public Access
⭐You can use Amazon S3 to host a static website. On a static website, individual webpages include static content. They might also contain client-side scripts.
⭐To host a static website on Amazon S3, you configure an Amazon S3 bucket for website hosting and then upload your website content to the bucket.
⭐When you configure a bucket as a static website, you must enable website hosting, set permissions, and create and add an index document.
⭐Depending on your website requirements, you can also configure redirects, web traffic logging, and a custom error document.

I'm really glad you added the troubleshooting steps for when we get stuck.

[@Roshan1494]

by far the best way to teach someone

[@sachinadi6715]

The only change after two years of this video is the option to "make public" has been now modified by Amazon Web Services.. you need to enable the ACL under the "Object Ownership" section under the "permissions" tab of the bucket... @Pythoholic.. just adding this comment just incase if someone gets stuck on the "Make Public" option! Your videos have been fantastic and absolutely easy to understand this complex cloud.. Special thanks to you for every pain taken to create this fantastic series!!

[@shibasisnayak4967]

This is very Interesting. But what i was looking for like if user will try to access by simple URL rather than S3 object URL. How come that will be happen? kindly prepare a video for that. thanks!!

[@Pythoholic]

You need to create a dns route by having ur own domain in route 53 either from the one you purchased on godaddy or hostinger or even purchasing at route 53 domain registration. Then u can create a name record and attach that s3 url to it. But the domain won't be free. U need to purchase it

[@mylesebinyi1512]

Thank you verymuch for this

[@Pythoholic]

its not hosted using a manually configured domain it uses cdn to host it so its already secure

What if i made a backend?

[@formosaboba]

Hi Pythoholic! Thank you for your video! It's very helpful. I was wondering about it being free? Some hosting I know will have a monthly charge after a year. Would the only thing I have to pay is the custom domain name and then if I host with aws it would be free forever?

[@Pythoholic]

It wouldn't be free after one year, you can purchase a domain and link it. You can do that in route53.

[@AlonsoParejawee]

Hi. I didn't get it. After unchecking the Block Public Access, you had to clean your cache to try opening. But again you had to make it public in order to open it properly, is this last step optional or we must do it anyways?

i had actually done that, and for it not work i had to clear the cache, i just did that for that purpose only.

You can use a ACL, or a WAF firewall rule that allows only the set of user you want.

Aspx is a dynamic language. As far as I know Se works with HTML + CSS + JS + PHP (Static language)

[@Videos4NYC]

aspx pages require a windows server with ASP.net installed. You cannot run aspx pages on an S3 bucket. You can only run aspx pages on a Windows server. S3 can be used only for static pages, such as .html. However, aspx pages are dynamic pages not static.
