Amazon S3 Static Hosting Custom Domain

I'm learning some web development and am using Amazon S3 as a web host with a custom domain from Google domains. I used the guides from the Amazon AWS page and was able to set up the web page but I have a problem with getting the custom domain to work.

For example, Amazon S3 has the endpoint URL to www.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com and I want my domain example.com to show up. When I load the page for www.example.com, it loads the page however it still shows the example.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com when I want it to show the simple example.com instead.

From what I can tell, I need a CNAME, I've set it up as www.example.com -> www.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com with permanent redirect (301) and forward path.

Please help!

On the Google side, configure the CNAME record (www) to point to s3.amazonaws.com. (yes, the dot included) ... like this:

... and wait a few minutes.

Make sure your S3 bucket is named: www.yourdomain.com

If anyone was wondering how I got it to work, I ended up using Cloudflare with its free DNS options. I added the DNS servers to google domains and then added two CNAMES:

@ -> example.com -> example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com (for the root)

CNAME -> www -> www.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com (for the www redirect)
