Essentially, using S3′s subdomain feature instead of bucket location (sub directory) allows you to properly control access to your data. There shouldn’t be any issues with this solution but it’s good to be aware of these changes.

Some more info for possible redirection of your domain to another site such as the subdomain on s3:

Proud father of two children, happy husband to one wife. I've been programming various technologies and leading the development of huge projects for most of the last ten years. I've got some specific likes and dislikes through my experiences in the web site business but generally I'm pretty straightforward about it. Not a huge fan of the latest and greatest shiny toy (it took me four years to show an interest in Flash) I'm more than happy to code in any language that comes along (Actionscript is just so darn fun).

    Great Post!
    I was pulling my hair trying to understand why the images in my site were gone. You answered my question.

    Keep up the good work.
