No Servers Needed: Host a Static Website with Amazon S3 and CloudFront

Hosting a website typically requires having a server to host it on, and if you need your website to handle a lot of traffic you will need multiple servers. However, if you have a static HTML website that does not require any data storage or dynamic content you can host it on Amazon S3 without having to pay for, or worry about, having any servers.
