 * **Warning:** The plugin will overwrite any data you have in the bucket name you set above if it already exists.
 * **Pro Tip:** To add staging and region functionality to your client, use Serverless Variables in the bucket name: `"bucket.name.for.the.client.${stage}.${region}"`
 
+* **Side Note** When hosting a client with a domain name, the bucket name must have exactly the same name as the domain. For this reason you may also optionally specify a regular expression to be replaced in your bucket name to remove, for instance, "prod." from the start of your bucket name:
+
+```js
+    "bucketName":"${stage}.my.example.com",
+    "removeBucketRegex":"^prod\\.""
+```
 
 **Third**, Create a `client/dist` folder in the root directory of your Serverless project. This is where your distribution-ready website should live. It is recommended to have a `client/src` where you'll be developing your website, and a build script that outputs to `client/dist`. The plugin simply expects and uploads the entire `client/dist` folder to S3, configure the bucket to host the website, and make it publicly available.
