I Built my First static website using Amazon S3 and infinityfree.

Hi Devs.
I built this project because I wanted a simple way to keep all my images and files in one place, without relying on third-party platforms. I also wanted to understand how static websites actually work, how to host them, connect a domain, and make them live. Using Amazon S3 gave me hands-on experience with real tools, and now I can use what I’ve learned for future projects, portfolios, or sharing resources online.

I recently built my first static website using Amazon S3 and connected it to a free domain from InfinityFree all without spending a penny. If you're looking to host a simple HTML site and make it live globally, this guide is for you.

I will walk you through on what services I used and how I did it.
