I have actually been experimenting with this. And it's real simple.

I think for these cases everyone should be shooting for a static site. In which case it is: 1. Rent a vps 2. Buy a domain 3. Set up nginx or something else 4. Copy files to the right folder 5. Point a dns record to said server 6. Use certbot to get an ssl cert installed for you

It's not that hard really.

It's not that hard for you... the process you just described is unintelligible for 99% of the population I would say. And then you have to produce the content on top of that.

The article isn't about general population.

> if you are a business or an individual artist or creator

If you're in any of those categories you're probably already in a small fraction of the population.

And yes this would only work with tech savvy people. I was mostly responding to the idea that AWS would need to be involved.

For the non tech savvy there's WordPress and Wix, no?

Sorry, just confirming, this is sarcasm, right?
