It is a very simple solution to getting content online, with very few downsides. It is relatively secure, maintainable, scalable, and best of all, cheap.</p> <p>There are many tools for creating a static site. I&rsquo;m using Jekyll, but there are several options to choose from. Once you have your static site content, I recommend hosting it in Amazon&rsquo;s AWS S3. Any S3 bucket can act as a static html host, serving the stored content up as a webpage.</p>
