Hosting a static website using Amazon S3 - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Hosting a static website using Amazon S3

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.

Note

We recommend that you use AWS Amplify Hosting to host static website content stored on S3. Amplify Hosting is a fully managed service that makes it easy to deploy your websites on a globally available content delivery network (CDN) powered by Amazon CloudFront, allowing secure static website hosting.

With AWS Amplify Hosting, you can select the ___location of your objects within your general purpose bucket, deploy your content to a managed CDN, and generate a public HTTPS URL for your website to be accessible anywhere. For more information about Amplify Hosting, see Deploying a static website to AWS Amplify Hosting from an S3 general purpose bucket and Deploying a static website from S3 using the Amplify console in the AWS Amplify Console User Guide.
