Amazon AWS S3 Account
To host plain HTML files (static website content) on AWS, the standard and most popular option is Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) using its built-in Static Website Hosting feature.

Depending on your requirements for speed, custom domains, or deployment workflows, there are three primary ways to set this up:

Key Options for Hosting HTML on AWS

  • Amazon S3 (Static Website Hosting): The simplest and most direct method. You upload your .html, .css, and .js files into an S3 bucket, enable Static Website Hosting in the bucket properties, and set index.html as your default index document. AWS generates a unique website URL for your bucket.

  • Amazon S3 + Amazon CloudFront (Recommended for Production): Best for performance, custom domains, and HTTPS support. S3 stores the files, while Amazon CloudFront acts as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to cache and serve your static HTML globally with low latency and free SSL/TLS encryption.

  • AWS Amplify: Best for automated deployments from Git. You connect a GitHub or GitLab repository containing your HTML files to AWS Amplify, and it automatically builds and hosts the site globally whenever you push changes.
