GitHub Pages or Netlify for sure. With either of these options, your static site can be set up to deploy whenever there's new commits to the specified branch. Me and a friend mentor for Code Louisville, and we're able to get the beginner frontend students up and running very quickly using these options - they're free and much easier to use.
Damn, I have never been so wrong:
- the interface is so intuitive I never opened the documentation
- this is FAST (the bottleneck to see my website live is now my browser cache)
- no need to create a Github Actions pipeline to deploy, just say "hey, my repo is here"
- automatically integrated with Let's Encrypt for custom domains
- deploy previews!!!
I have my site in an S3 bucket with the static-site flag activated. It would not win for 'easiest'. However, it's the only thing in my personal AWS account right now and my monthly bill is $0.83
An S3 bucket is intended as storage, not retrieval. Downloading from S3 means grabbing shards. You should put a proper CDN, like CloudFront or Cloudflare, in front.
I understand what you're saying, but why? I assume the site in question is pretty low volume. What's wrong with serving directly from S3?

Check with your ISP, they often offer some 10 or sometimes 50! MB of free space to host your homepage and images under an account url, eg: http://example.com/~you . Uploading is easy, just FTP your files to their server and your done! I miss the old days :(

Why, if his monthly bill is 83 cents, and he values his time? Does not using a CDN impact performance in a crippling way that neither me nor the poster you're replying to understands?

I use Hugo but they support a bunch of different types.
Digital Ocean is also just super easy to use in general.
