S3 web hosting endpoint produce "This site can’t be reached"

Question

I am trying to host a static web page on AWS S3 but get "This site can’t be reached" when trying to reach my endpoint: http://iekdosha-test1.com.s3-website-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/

• This is my policy

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::iekdosha-test1.com/*"
        }
    ]
}

• The "Block public access" all set to "Off" both in bucket and in account settings

• "Static website hosting" is enabled with my index.html page (test file with simple message)

• My bucket name is iekdosha-test1.com

• An orange "Public" tag appears under "permissions" in bucket page and on all buckets page i have the same orange "Public" tag on my bucket's "Access" column.
• I have followed this guide and got stuck on step 2.8 (testing the endpoint)

What could possibly be the issue?

The eu-central-1 region does not use the old style ${bucket}.s3-website-${region}.amazonaws.com endoint convention for web site hosting endpoints. You need a dot . rather than a dash - after the word website in URLs for this region -- ${bucket}.s3-website.${region}.amazonaws.com.

This newer style actually works in any region, even though the Regions and Endpoints documentation still shows the old style endpoints for older regions.
