Anyone hosted a website using AWS?

General Discussion

Hi all,

I have a website I am doing for my wife and as an experiment I am looking for a very cheap website host, not because I am not happy with what I have - but just want to try others.
Now I use Google and Amazon a lot but wondering if AWS is pretty good or easy to use!?

Thanks all !

Haven’t done it myself, but technically you could deploy your static html site to an S3 bucket, which is quite okay. Seen it done by customers of mine.

Thanks @brechtryckaert - I will look deeper into this.

I am also looking at Hostinger but so many complaints and hidden costs - but this website is basically for a few family and friends to read.

Any other names of very cheapish hosting will be appreciated.

To be fair, why not set up a simple vps on digital ocean? It’ll cost about $6 a month and you’ll be able to host quite a few HTML based sites.

Really for $ 6.00 a month?
I would like to see that. :slight_smile:

There are much cheaper Hosters in Germany than $ 6 a month.

I use ineedwebhosting.Co.Uk never had any problems and help is very good. They’re not expensive, maybe not THE cheapest, but worth a look.

Hi Adie:

I moved over to “Pair” last year. Very happy with them and their pricing.

This is pretty old thread, but I thought I would add that I am now using AWS for my static sites. Would be nice if Blocs supported their protocol to make publishing a little slicker, but it doesn’t look like there are many of us using AWS.

That is who I am with. Great support and has been very reliable so far.
