Hosting a static website using S3 can be done dirt-cheap. We were hosting our website on S3 for a while now, with a monthly bill of 1,20€ with CloudFlare CDN in front of our bucket. Another big plus is that you do not have to worry about server administration, load balancers etc.

For a static website isn't something like Netlify easier (and cheaper, as in free)?

100GB bandwidth/month for free, it's quite small traffic.

Just curious, why CloudFlare instead of CloudFront?

I'd assume because CloudFlare doesn't charge anything for bandwidth; so their costs are exceptionally predictable
