Deploying a Static Website on AWS S3: Step-by-Step Tutorial

-

Amazon S3 allows you to host static websites directly from the cloud. If you have an HTML, CSS, or JS project and want to share it online, S3 is a reliable and scalable option.

Step 1: Create an S3 Bucket

Log in to your AWS account. Navigate to S3 and create a new bucket. Use a unique name and enable public access.

Step 2: Upload Your Files

Upload your website files, including index.html and style.css. Set their permissions to public.

Step 3: Enable Static Website Hosting

In the bucket settings, go to the “Properties” tab and enable static website hosting. Set the index document as index.html.

Step 4: Access Your Website

You’ll get a public URL like this: http://your-bucket-name.s3-website-region.amazonaws.com. Share this link to access your site.

Bonus: Use a Custom Domain

If you have a domain, you can connect it to your S3 bucket using Route 53 and CloudFront for better performance.

With just a few steps, you can deploy and share your static website globally using AWS S3.
