3. In the **Create Bucket** form, enter the bucket information. In the **Bucket Name** area, enter a unique DNS-compliant name for your new bucket. You should develop a naming strategy following these guidelines:

The bucket name is visible in the URL that points to the objects you will put in the bucket.
  - The name must be unique across all existing bucket names. A bucket name must:

The bucket name cannot contain underscores, end with a dash, have consecutive periods, or use dashes adjacent to periods. And, the name cannot be formatted as an IP address (123.45.678.90).
    - Be a valid DNS-compliant name
    - Begin with a lowercase letter or number
    - Consist of 3 to 63 lowercase letters, numbers, periods, and/or dashes.
  - Choose a bucket name that reflects the objects you will store in the bucket.
4. In the **Select Region** area (geographic location), select the region where you want your bucket to reside. The URL of the region you select is displayed with the region name.

5. At this point, you have several options:

Click **Create** to create the bucket now (and end this procedure). OR Configure the [bucket properties](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-a-bucket) to set bucket versioning, bucket logging, and/or enable the object lock feature.
6. Click **Create** at the bottom of the form to accept the information and create the bucket. A message will display at the top of your screen indicating that the bucket was created successfully. The new bucket is displayed on the **Buckets** page.

- Region—Region in which the bucket was created

- Options accessed with the three dots icon at the end of the row to:
