That is not correct. You can host a website from an S3 bucket without using CloudFront. Although of course, downloads will come directly from the S3 bucket and not from a CF edge location.

Huh, just what did you think I was saying? Of course you can put CloudFront in front of S3 website hosting!!!

You can't use S3 Transfer Acceleration with S3 Static Website Hosting.

That's only if you want a fancy CNAME. If you're just hosting static assets, you might not care what the domain name is
