title: Serving S3 bucket website from my domain
body: <p>I have a working s3 based static site in the form of:</p>
  
  <p>http://.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/</p>
  
  <p>I also already own a totally separate (non-AWS) domain www..com, what I am trying to do is setup a CNAME record so that http://..com to work.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried a number of CNAME records such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HOST-Record: &lt;mybucket&gt;
  Points To: s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
  
  -or-
  
  HOST-Record: &lt;mybucket&gt;
  Points To: &lt;mybucket&gt;.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I see is that I get an AWS error saying no such bucket - BucketName: ..</p>
  
  <p>I can't figure out the right syntax for doing this right (and given the TTL trial and error is hard).  Any tips?</p>
