This is a ridiculously complicated tutorial.

Sure, S3 works if you're deploying it as safest as possible and want to pay for it too and do this on a recurrent basis, but otherwise is too big of a fuss for a personal blog, I use GitHub pages for over 4 years now with no issues, my own domain and SSL.

The simplest is surge.sh, period. If you don't need a domain, a web platform and just want to deploy from your CLI, surge.sh is the solution. It's good when you want to show off a static website to someone outside your sever. Even the switching to a premium plan is done from the CLI.

Other solutions are: Netlify, ZEIT Now, Aerobatic or Render.

I frequently use this list from this GatsbyJS wiki to check for static website hosts, I recommend it: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/deploying-and-hosting/
