**To create a domain (DNS zone)** The following ``create-domain`` example creates a DNS zone for the specified domain. **Note:** Lightsail's domain-related API operations are available in only the ``us-east-1`` Region. If your CLI profile is configured to use a different Region, you must include the ``--region us-east-1`` parameter or the command fails. :: aws lightsail create-domain \ --region us-east-1 \ --domain-name example.com Output:: { "operation": { "id": "64e522c8-9ae1-4c05-9b65-3f237324dc34", "resourceName": "example.com", "resourceType": "Domain", "createdAt": 1569864291.92, "location": { "availabilityZone": "all", "regionName": "global" }, "isTerminal": true, "operationType": "CreateDomain", "status": "Succeeded", "statusChangedAt": 1569864292.109 } } For more information, see `DNS in Amazon Lightsail <https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/understanding-dns-in-amazon-lightsail>`__ and `Creating a DNS zone to manage your domain's DNS records in Amazon Lightsail <https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/lightsail-how-to-create-dns-entry>`__ in the *Lightsail Developer Guide*.
