Solution

  • When you are creating a website using S3 always make sure your bucket name matches the name of the the domain.

    So for example if you are mapping www.domain.com to S3 then your bucket name should be "www.domain.com" and if you want to map domain.com then your bucket name should be "domain.com" or the bucket endpoint will not show up in the alias like it happened in your case.
