S3 Endpoints

IONOS S3 Object Storage allows users to create the following two types of buckets:

1. Contract-owned buckets

2. User-owned buckets

For more information, see Bucket Types.

Note: Starting from May 30, 2024, all the newly launched endpoints (S3 regions) will use a contract owner as a bucket owner and support contract administrators having the same set of permissions as the bucket owner. You can still create user-owned buckets using specific endpoints, but this shift toward a contract-owned bucket model will be the primary focus for future Object Storage updates.

The IONOS S3 Object Storage Service endpoints for the bucket types are as follows:

Contract-owned Buckets

Data Center	S3 Region	S3 Endpoint	Static Website Endpoint
Berlin, Germany	eu-central-3	s3.eu-central-3.ionoscloud.com	s3-website.eu-central-3.ionoscloud.com

User-owned Buckets

Note: — The S3 endpoints are available through both HTTP and HTTPS URLs.

— The Object Storage service does not support HTTPS for hosting static websites unless the full domain path is used.
