You can also just get a micro instance from the major cloud providers. Just as cheap, and more reliable and usable with all the cloud tooling.

But then you have to manage the instance. Once you set everything up with S3, your deployment is literally.

   aws S3 cp $your-local-directory S3://your-bucket

“Host a static website the HN way”

It would be overkill for a static website.
