CreateHostedZoneRequest Class | AWS SDK for .NET V3

Container for the parameters to the CreateHostedZone operation. Creates a new public or private hosted zone. You create records in a public hosted zone to define how you want to route traffic on the internet for a domain, such as example.com, and its subdomains (apex.example.com, acme.example.com). You create records in a private hosted zone to define how you want to route traffic for a domain and its subdomains within one or more Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs).

You can't convert a public hosted zone to a private hosted zone or vice versa. Instead, you must create a new hosted zone with the same name and create new resource record sets.

For more information about charges for hosted zones, see Amazon Route 53 Pricing.

Note the following:

You can't create a hosted zone for a top-level domain (TLD) such as .com.
For public hosted zones, Route 53 automatically creates a default SOA record and four NS records for the zone. For more information about SOA and NS records, see NS and SOA Records that Route 53 Creates for a Hosted Zone in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
If you want to use the same name servers for multiple public hosted zones, you can optionally associate a reusable delegation set with the hosted zone. See the DelegationSetId element.
If your domain is registered with a registrar other than Route 53, you must update the name servers with your registrar to make Route 53 the DNS service for the domain. For more information, see Migrating DNS Service for an Existing Domain to Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

When you submit a CreateHostedZone request, the initial status of the hosted zone is PENDING. For public hosted zones, this means that the NS and SOA records are not yet available on all Route 53 DNS servers. When the NS and SOA records are available, the status of the zone changes to INSYNC.

The CreateHostedZone request requires the caller to have an ec2:DescribeVpcs permission.

When creating private hosted zones, the Amazon VPC must belong to the same partition where the hosted zone is created. A partition is a group of Amazon Web Services Regions. Each Amazon Web Services account is scoped to one partition.

The following are the supported partitions:

aws - Amazon Web Services Regions
aws-cn - China Regions
aws-us-gov - Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region

For more information, see Access Management in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Syntax

The CreateHostedZoneRequest type exposes the following members

Constructors

	Name	Description
	CreateHostedZoneRequest()	Empty constructor used to set properties independently even when a simple constructor is available
	CreateHostedZoneRequest(string, string)	Instantiates CreateHostedZoneRequest with the parameterized properties

Properties

Name	Type	Description
CallerReference	System.String	Gets and sets the property CallerReference. A unique string that identifies the request and that allows failed `CreateHostedZone` requests to be retried without the risk of executing the operation twice. You must use a unique `CallerReference` string every time you submit a `CreateHostedZone` request. `CallerReference` can be any unique string, for example, a date/time stamp.
DelegationSetId	System.String	Gets and sets the property DelegationSetId. If you want to associate a reusable delegation set with this hosted zone, the ID that Amazon Route 53 assigned to the reusable delegation set when you created it. For more information about reusable delegation sets, see CreateReusableDelegationSet. If you are using a reusable delegation set to create a public hosted zone for a subdomain, make sure that the parent hosted zone doesn't use one or more of the same name servers. If you have overlapping nameservers, the operation will cause a `ConflictingDomainsExist` error.
HostedZoneConfig	Amazon.Route53.Model.HostedZoneConfig	Gets and sets the property HostedZoneConfig. (Optional) A complex type that contains the following optional values: For public and private hosted zones, an optional comment For private hosted zones, an optional `PrivateZone` element If you don't specify a comment or the `PrivateZone` element, omit `HostedZoneConfig` and the other elements.
Name	System.String	Gets and sets the property Name. The name of the domain. Specify a fully qualified domain name, for example, www.example.com. The trailing dot is optional; Amazon Route 53 assumes that the domain name is fully qualified. This means that Route 53 treats www.example.com (without a trailing dot) and www.example.com. (with a trailing dot) as identical. If you're creating a public hosted zone, this is the name you have registered with your DNS registrar. If your domain name is registered with a registrar other than Route 53, change the name servers for your domain to the set of `NameServers` that `CreateHostedZone` returns in `DelegationSet`.
VPC	Amazon.Route53.Model.VPC	Gets and sets the property VPC. (Private hosted zones only) A complex type that contains information about the Amazon VPC that you're associating with this hosted zone. You can specify only one Amazon VPC when you create a private hosted zone. If you are associating a VPC with a hosted zone with this request, the paramaters `VPCId` and `VPCRegion` are also required. To associate additional Amazon VPCs with the hosted zone, use AssociateVPCWithHostedZone after you create a hosted zone.

Examples

This example shows how to create an Amazon Route 53 hosted zone and add a resource record set to the zone.

Create a hosted zone and add a resource record set

string domainName = "www.example.org";

IAmazonRoute53 route53Client = new AmazonRoute53Client();

CreateHostedZoneRequest zoneRequest = new CreateHostedZoneRequest
{
  Name = domainName,
  CallerReference = "my_change_request"
};

CreateHostedZoneResponse zoneResponse = route53Client.CreateHostedZone(zoneRequest);

ResourceRecordSet recordSet = new ResourceRecordSet
{
  Name = domainName,
  TTL = 60,
  Type = RRType.A,
  ResourceRecords = new List<ResourceRecord> { new ResourceRecord { Value = "192.0.2.235" } }
};

Change change1 = new Change
{
  ResourceRecordSet = recordSet,
  Action = ChangeAction.CREATE
};

ChangeBatch changeBatch = new ChangeBatch
{
  Changes = new List<Change> { change1 }
};

ChangeResourceRecordSetsRequest recordsetRequest = new ChangeResourceRecordSetsRequest
{
  HostedZoneId = zoneResponse.HostedZone.Id,
  ChangeBatch = changeBatch
};

ChangeResourceRecordSetsResponse recordsetResponse = route53Client.ChangeResourceRecordSets(recordsetRequest);

GetChangeRequest changeRequest = new GetChangeRequest
{
  Id = recordsetResponse.ChangeInfo.Id
};

while (route53Client.GetChange(changeRequest).ChangeInfo.Status == ChangeStatus.PENDING)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Change is pending.");
  Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15));
}
