The cost of hosting a static website using Amazon S3, CloudFront, and Route 53 can vary depending on the amount of data transferred, the number of requests made, and the region you choose to host your resources. Here is an estimation of the costs for the Ohio region based on the current AWS pricing as of my knowledge cutoff:

  • Amazon S3
    Storage- $0.023 per GB per month for standard storage
    Data transfer out- $0.09 per GB for the first 10 TB
    Request- $0.0004 per 1,000 PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST requests; $0.000005 per 1,000 GET and all other requests

  • Amazon CloudFront
    Data transfer out- $0.085 per GB for the first 10 TB
    Request- $0.0075 per 10,000 HTTP or HTTPS requests

  • Amazon Route 53
    Hosted zone- $0.50 per hosted zone per month
    Queries- $0.40 per million queries for the first 1 billion queries

Note that these costs are estimated and may vary depending on your actual usage. You can use the AWS Pricing Calculator to get a more accurate estimate of your costs based on your specific needs.
