If you have a small site that gets enough traffic, then why not follow the trend and do not transfer it to amazon S3? How to do it, explain screencast below, and in what sense the transfer site, I'll explain. Note that the material in any case is not advertising, in this case, I'd rather try to find a benefit for you, dear readers.
Why Amazon S3
When you use a normal hosting company, then you pay for some fixed disk space. You use it in its entirety or not - nobody cares. In addition, your site has a limit on incoming traffic, as soon as you exceed it, the site will be disabled and you will be offered to go to a more expensive fare. In this case, there is no guarantee the smooth operation of the site: as practice shows, even the most reliable hosts have problems.
Amazon S3, on the other hand, uses a more rational model of payment. You will have to pay only for the amount of data and bandwidth that you are using. There is no limit, in principle, is that your purse. Plus, Amazon S3, due to its structure, guarantees almost one hundred percent uptime.
Minus in all this idyll is only one: dynamic sites on S3 will not work. That is to say, us wordpress-blog will not lift and static online business card or a small company's website can be placed.

How to assign a site domain
The site we did, and now he needs to assign domain. When you specify the Index Document and Error Document (website setup tab in the screencast), you will see the Endpoint line. Record this address.
Now head to the admin panel where you manage your domains. Then change the CNAME of the domain, prescribing the same Endpoint there. After some time the site will earn.
With all these artful manipulation we have a website that is virtually impossible to "drop." Website for which you will pay the least money. For example, the content dvadtsatistranichnogo site, which occupies 10 megabytes of disk space, and which is visited by 200 people a day will cost you about $ 5 / month.
