# 1—Bucket Name

There are several features you can define for a bucket: versioning, object lock, logging, replication, and tags. But the only required features are the bucket name and storage region.

1. Click **Create Bucket**.
2. Enter a name for the new bucket.

If the bucket name already exists in Wasabi, it cannot be used. Enter another, unique name.

3. Select a region in which you want to store your bucket and objects. Click in the **Region** section and select from a drop-down of available regions. For example:

4. You can click **Create Bucket** to create a new bucket without additional features. Or, click **Next** to set Properties ([Bucket Versioning](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/versioning) and [Object Lock](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-locking)), [Logging](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/bucket-replication), [Replication](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/bucket-replication), and [Tags](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-tags).
5. When you create the bucket without additional features, it is created immediately and listed on the Buckets page. For example:
