If a bucket is configured to host static websites, the user trying to access it may get any of the response codes described in the table below.

Code	Description
`200 OK`	Successful response.
`302 Found`	If Object Storage receives a request to the `http://website.yandexcloud.net/bucket/x` resource without `/` at the end, Object Storage will first try to find the `x` object. If this object does not exist but `x/index.html` is set as the website home page, the user will get code 302 and will be redirected to `http://website.yandexcloud.net/bucket/x/`.
`304 Not Modified`	Object Storage uses the `If-Modified-Since`, `If-Unmodified-Since`, `If-Match`, `If-None-Match` request headers to determine whether an object is modified compared to the one previously cached on the client side. If the object is not modified, the user will get the `304 Not Modified` response.
`403 Forbidden`	This code is returned if the bucket to receive the request has no public access configured. Configuring public access to a bucket.
`404 Not Found`	This code is returned if the resource to receive the request does not exist or the bucket containing the requested resource is not configured for hosting static websites. Setting up hosting.
`500 Service Error`	Internal error in Object Storage.
`503 Service Unavailable`	The load on the service is too high. You need to reduce your request rate.
