title: S3 Static Website Hosting when Bucketname is taken?
body: <p>I'm trying to host a simple static website from my AWS account with S3. I had an old dusty account with lots of strange settings from testing over the years, I also had an S3 account with a 'mypersonaldomain.com' and 'wwww.mypersonaldomain.com' bucket. Anyways I wanted to start fresh so I canceled the account to start new. </p>
  
  <p>Now when I go to create a 'mypersonaldomain.com' and 'www.mypersonaldomain.com' it says the bucket name is taken even though the account was deleted a while ago. I had assumed that amazon would release the bucketname back to the public. However when I deleted the account, I didn't explicitly delete the buckets beforehand.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm under the impression to use S3 for static website hosting the bucket names need to match the domain name for the DNS to work. However If I can't create a bucket with the proper name is there anyway I can use S3 for static hosting? Its just a simple low traffic website that doesn't need to be in an EC2 instance. </p>
  
  <p>FYI I'm using Route 53 for my DNS. </p>
  
  <p>[note 'mypersonldomain.com' is not the actual domain name]</p>
