Creating a static web hosting site

Edit online

Use this information for creating a static web hosting site.

To create a static website, perform the following steps:

  1. Create an S3 bucket. The bucket name MIGHT be the same as the website’s domain name. For example, mysite.com may have a bucket name of mysite.com. This is required for AWS, but it is NOT required for Ceph.

    For more information, see Static web hosting DNS configuration.

  2. Upload the static website content to the bucket. Contents may include HTML, CSS, client-side JavaScript, images, audio/video content, and other downloadable files. A website MUST have an index.html file and might have an error.html file.

  3. Verify the website’s contents. At this point, only the creator of the bucket has access to the contents.

  4. Set permissions on the files so that they are publicly readable.
