# Static Website Hosting Overview

You can upload the content files of static websites to your bucket on OBS, authorize anonymous users the permission to read these files, and configure static website hosting for the bucket to host these files.

Static websites contain static web pages and some scripts that can run on clients, such as JavaScript and Flash. Different from static websites, dynamic websites rely on servers to process scripts, including PHP, JSP, and ASP.NET. OBS does not support scripts running on servers.

The configuration of static website hosting takes effect within two minutes. After the static website hosting is effective in OBS, you can access the static website by using the URL provided by OBS.
