s3? ... but couldn''t you just host a static site on github for free? whats the difference between the two?


S3 isn't free, but is slightly easier to start with IMO. Besides that, no difference.


You can, but then you need to stay within the limitations of GitHub pages:

- Needs to be versioned with git to be deployed

- Space limitation (I assume, not sure what it is)

- Deploying new content to S3 is a lot faster - github pages has some sort of build process with a substantial delay
