Amazon S3 - Static Website Hosting with Custom Domain and TLS

In this demonstration using the AWS Management Console (UI), I'll showcase how to create a bucket, upload your static content, and enable static website hosting. Then, we'll add a custom domain to access your website, along with using CloudFront and TLS to secure and distribute your content.

Perfect explanation Bryan, I'll reference this video in my coding videos. I literally just used it to deploy a react frontend for a client. Please keep the videos coming!

wow, after 5hrs of trying to setup all of these, you helped me out in the end. Tysm!

[dwoodlock]

This was incredible. I don't know how many hours, even even days, this saved me. Thank you!

[jslagelstube]

Thanks, this helped me convert my static s3 hosted website to use a proper SSL certificate

[AmedChannel]

Thank you, this video was helpful, for me I'm using Cloudflare for domains so I had to copy the NS records from the Route 53 > Hosted Zones
and add them to Cloudflare under DNS for the domain, and changed the SSL/TLS settings from Full to Flexible (not sure why it was not working for Full)

and one more thing the bucket name has to be the same as the domain name
amazon doc search for ( I can't route traffic to an Amazon S3 bucket that's configured for website hosting)

good luck

Great video. Helps a lot when you are starting from scratch.

[KaranChoudhary-kmkz]

Great video! I was curious what is the cost for running this website and just the pricing logistics if I were to do static website hosting with S3?

The CName set up you do at 08:00 wont work with a root domain

[UsmanPak-dhup]

nice video. 3 questions 1) what IP to use if i want to use my main domain not the sub domain 2) what if you click other links and pages, will it still show the domain name ? 3) s3 bucket name, does it has to be the exact domain name ? i have an existing bucket, do i need to create a new with exact name ?

[jay]

That was well explained, Thanks a lot

[ThakurArjun]

creating hosted zones is chargeable even in aws free tier.

[ridwanray]

Good tut.
Is this setup possible if AWS Route 53 is not the one managing the domain i.e. NameServer?
Thanks

Here is the bucket policy so you don't have to manually type it in


{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::Bucket-Name/*"
]
}
]
}

I tried it by following the video completely. Was using an A Record with an alias Route Traffic to S3 Website Endpoint instead of CName record type without a subdomain. It does not show on the incognitio window. I even tried to reduce the TTL to 60 sec from the default 300 sec so that it shows up quickly than usual. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance

[WebDeveloper-xsuf]

whats the cost for hosting from Amazon?

[maksim]

Hi! How do I make the setting properly if I want to access only through cloudfront, I don't want the site to be accessible through http link in s3 bucket?

[togerait]

Hi! is not possible to make S3 Bucket private and only CloudFront can access?
