How to connect my google cloud storage bucket that's already online with a domain in namecheap

[Richmod33]

So i've already created a bucket in google cloud that is public on the internet. Everyone can access it, the link is googleapis, I recently bought a domain from namecheap and I want to connect to my bucket if possible.

Hi @Richmod33 ,

Besides the doc that @KirTitievsky suggested, you might find the guidance in this doc useful: Host a static website using a Cloud Storage bucket (specifically, see the "Connect your domain to your load balancer" section).

@Richmod33 Cloud Storage (Buckets) can be used to host static content, provided you use backend buckets with your global external HTTP(S) Load Balancer as explained at page 218 (chapter 5) in this newly released book. https://a.co/d/1Bu3G58

Also, you will need to configure your global external HTTP(S) load balancer's VIP to be resolved by your FQDN (Fully-qualified Domain Name) by adding a type A record as explained at page 248 of the same book.

There is a tutorial at page 242 that explains step-by-step how to address a similar use case with a global external HTTP(S) load balancer (classic). The only difference is that you are using backend buckets and cloud storage instead of backend services and MIGs (Managed Instance Group).

I hope this helps!
