> push changes to Github

Or create an organisation on Github and publish this website as a Page. It is simple and it is free.

Certainly not a bad idea, but in my case I care to own the domain because I also use it when naming Java packages for the projects I write. Since I'm already paying for the domain, I figure I might as well use it for my actual website too. I've found S3 and Route53 to be the most cost effective for my particular use case.

It is easy to connect your own domain to a Github Page ;-)

Github Pages support custom domains for free.

Github Pages supports domains

I personally haven’t used it, but I think you can use your own domain with GitHub pages fairly easily.

Edit: I see others mentioned this too, but hopefully the link adds some added benefit!
