---

## Introduction

In this tutorial, we will show you how to host a static website on EOS S3 Bucket, individual webpages include static content, and they might also contain client-side scripts which can be hosted on an S3 Bucket. Server-side scripts such as PHP, JSP, or ASP.NET is not supported on EOS S3.

## Create Bucket

1. Go to **Products > Storage** option in the sidebar menu.
2. Click on **Create New Bucket** or the **(+)** icon.
3. Enter a **unique** bucket name. You must follow these guidelines when choosing the bucket name:

   - You must enter a bucket name that is **unique** across **all existing buckets** in E2E Object Storage. You cannot choose a name that is already in use by another user.
   - Names can **not** be changed after creation, so choose wisely.
   - Bucket name must be **at least 3** and **no more than 63 characters** long.
   - **Upper case letters** or **underscores** are **not allowed**.
   - Do not format bucket names like an IP address (e.g., `10.10.10.2`).

4. Click **Create**.
5. You will be redirected to the object browser.

:::tip Note
You will not be charged for empty buckets.

Now that your bucket is ready, you may choose to [<u>Upload files</u>](https://docs.e2enetworks.com/storage/objectstore/object_storage.html#upload-files) through the object browser or set [<u>bucket permissions</u>](https://docs.e2enetworks.com/storage/objectstore/object_storage.html#bucket-permissions) to enable CLI access.

## Add Permission to Your Bucket

Once you have created a bucket, you need to provide public access to your bucket.

## Create Distribution with CDN Service

Once you have created a bucket, you need to create a distribution on CDN to get the distribution URL.

Origin ID                         - objectstore.e2enetworks.net
```

4. Enter your **Origin**, **Cache**, and **Distribution** settings.
