Amazon S3

S3 stores objects in buckets and can serve them as a static website.

Static website hosting

Upload index.html and your assets, make them publicly readable, and enable static website hosting. S3 then answers requests at a bucket website endpoint.

Scaling

S3 grows with your data and request rate without capacity planning. Adding a CDN such as CloudFront improves speed for distant visitors.
