# Endpoints

<code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud\_object\_storage</code> allows users to create the following two types of buckets:

1\. Contract-owned buckets

2\. User-owned buckets

For more information, see [<mark style="color:blue;">Bucket Types</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/storage-and-backup/ionos-object-storage/concepts/bucket-types).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Contract-owned buckets use the contract owner as the bucket owner. You can still create user-owned buckets through specific endpoints, but the shift toward a contract-owned bucket model will be the primary focus of future Object Storage updates.
{% endhint %}

The <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud\_object\_storage</code> service endpoints for the bucket types are as follows:
