# Using an Amazon S3 bucket as a static web host with AWS SDK for PHP Version 3
<a name="s3-examples-static-web-host"></a>

You can host a static website on Amazon S3. To learn more, see [Hosting a Static Website on Amazon S3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/WebsiteHosting.html).

The following example shows how to:
+ Get the website configuration for a bucket using [GetBucketWebsite](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-s3-2006-03-01.html#getbucketwebsite).
+ Set the website configuration for a bucket using [PutBucketWebsite](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-s3-2006-03-01.html#putbucketwebsite).
+ Remove the website configuration from a bucket using [DeleteBucketWebsite](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-s3-2006-03-01.html#deletebucketwebsite).

All the example code for the AWS SDK for PHP Version 3 is available [here on GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/php/example_code).
