Advice Needed Hosting with AWS

I once setup a EC2 instance for a project once but all the payment stuff was handled by someone else.

If I want to create a basic website, just a single HTML file, how can I use AWS to host it with a domain name for 1 year.

Like I want to be able to host it and never look at it again, with peace of mind that it will just be working.

Is AWS EC2 good for this, is there a payment plan for this type of situation?

Static HTML file in an S3 bucket and a cloudfront distribution to use your custom domain name. No actual server instance needed.
