How do I configure CNAME for S3 websites

I am trying to host my static website using S3. I have a domain that I bought outside of AWS. The URL for my bucker http://my-website.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com. My domain name is my-website.com. I have tried everything but I cannot wrap my head around how I should be configuring CNAME so that my URL does not look messed up. I tried forwarding but that does not work for obvious reasons.

Please suggest solutions.

It depends on what your DNS provider is

  1. You're using Route53 then you need to go to the Hosted Zone for my-website.com and add a A record for my-website.com that points to the bucket. You must set Alias to true for this to work.
  2. If you're using a different DNS provider you can't route Apex domain (my-wesite.com, without www, or another subdomain in front). You'll be able to add a CNAME record for a subdomain that points to the S3 web endpoint.
