Im making static blog, and my question is in the title. Could I do it
like that?

Also, maybe you have some recommendation for me? What not to do and if
there is better way of hosting Hugo blog?

There's nothing much. S3 is quite dependable. I'd say that if you hit
any amount of substantial traffic, it might be worth looking into
putting it behind a CDN, but otherwise it should work.

You could also host it on GitHub pages. All you need to do is put your
static files in a folder called docs in your repo and enable pages on
github.

CDNs like Cloudflare for example, also have its price. Its free till
particular amount of traffic, pretty much like on S3.

I build my personal portfolio and blog using Hugo and then host it on
github. Pretty good so far!

is there any benefits hosting it on github instead of AWS?

Well idk if aws is free I am assuming it’s not but also you just
commit your change and they reflect almost instantly
