# Static Website Hosting

This document provides instructions for managing [<mark style="color:blue;">Static Website Hosting</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/settings/static-website-hosting.md) using the CLI. Additionally, these tasks can also be performed using the [<mark style="color:blue;">DCD</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/settings/static-website-hosting.md#dcd) and [<mark style="color:blue;">API</mark>](https://api.ionos.com/docs/s3/v2/#tag/Website).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites:**

* Set up the AWS CLI by following the [<mark style="color:blue;">installation instructions</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/s3-tools/awscli/awscli-configure.md).
* Make sure to consider the supported [<mark style="color:blue;">Endpoints</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/endpoints.md).
  {% endhint %}

## Commands

**Make the bucket public for static website hosting using** [<mark style="color:blue;">Bucket Policy</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/settings/bucket-policy.md)**:**

```bash
aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket my-bucket \
   --policy file://policy.json \
   --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

```

Contents of `policy.json`:

```bash
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement":
    [
        {
            "Sid": "PublicRead",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket/*"
        }
    ]
}

```

**Enable static website hosting for `my-bucket`:**

```bash
aws s3 website s3://my-bucket \
    --index-document index.html \
    --error-document error.htm \
    --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Info:** The website URLs differ from the endpoint URLs. The command sets up the static website here – `http://my-bucket.s3-website-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com`.
{% endhint %}

**Disable static website hosting for `my-bucket`:**

```bash
aws s3api delete-bucket-website --bucket my-bucket \
    --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/s3-tools/awscli/awscli-static-website-hosting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
