But what happens when there is a spike of views, e.g. a DOS attack? Would you have to pay then or did you make some precaution that the views would never reach a certain threshold?

It seems like AWS has its own DDOS protection service
aws.amazon.com/shield/?whats-new-c...

I personally haven't undertaken any measures regarding denial of service attacks, perhaps if my site reaches a certain size.

AWS can be quite confusing, but it's the biggest hosting provider at the moment (I believe), I think it's worth looking it up and researching 👍
