You can use a CNAME record to map your domain to an S3 bucket. To do this, you'll need to set up a CNAME record in your DNS provider that points to the S3 bucket's address.

For example, if you have a bucket called static.mypage.com, you can access the images in it by going to static.mypage.com. However, this can be a long name, so you might want to use a "shortener" like a CNAME record.

To set up the CNAME record, you'll need to point it to the S3 bucket's address, which is static.mypage.com.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com. Note that if you're an American user, you should use s3.amazonaws.com instead.

The CNAME record will tell your DNS provider that the hostname can be found on the same IP address, but it won't make the necessary application layer modifications to the HTTP request (Host header). This means that the web server also needs to be aware of your subdomain for the CNAME record to work properly.

Here are the necessary details to set up the CNAME record:
