Endpoints and Domain Names

Endpoint: OBS provides an endpoint for each region. An endpoint is a domain name used to access OBS in a region and is used to process requests of that region. For details about regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints.

Bucket domain name: OBS assigns a default domain name to each bucket. A domain name is the Internet-accessible address of a bucket. You can use this domain name to access the bucket. This is typically useful in scenarios such as cloud application development and data sharing.

Bucket domain names use the format: BucketName.Endpoint, where BucketName indicates the name of the bucket, and Endpoint indicates the domain name of the region where the bucket is located.

Table 1 lists the bucket domain name and other domain names in OBS, including their structure and protocols.

**Table 1** OBS domain names
Type	Structure	Description	Protocol
Regional domain name	[Structure] Endpoint [Example] obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com	Each region has an endpoint, which is the domain name of the region. For regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints. Each region corresponds to an OBS endpoint that keeps unchanged on both the internal and external networks.

Bucket domain name	[Structure] BucketName.Endpoint [Example] bucketname.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com	After a bucket is created, you can access it using its domain name. You can build the bucket domain name according to its structure, or you can obtain it from the bucket's basic information on OBS Console or OBS Browser+.	HTTPS HTTP
Object domain name	[Structure] BucketName.Endpoint/ObjectName [Example] bucketname.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/object.txt	After an object is uploaded to a bucket, you can access the object using its domain name. You can build the object domain name according to its structure, or obtain it from the object details on OBS Console or OBS Browser+. You can also use an SDK to call the GetObjectUrl API to obtain the object domain name.	HTTPS HTTP
Static website domain name	[Structure] BucketName.obs-website.Endpoint [Example] bucketname.obs-website.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com	A static website domain name is a bucket domain name when the bucket is configured to host a static website.	HTTPS HTTP
