<a name="WorkingWithDomainsCreate"></a>

The following is an example of creating a domain using REST.

```
https://sdb.amazonaws.com/
?Action=CreateDomain
&AWSAccessKeyId=[valid access key id]
&DomainName=MyDomain
&SignatureVersion=2
&SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
&Timestamp=2010-01-25T15%3A01%3A28-07%3A00
&Version=2009-04-15
&Signature=[valid signature]
```

Amazon SimpleDB returns output similar to the following.

```
<CreateDomainResponse>
  <ResponseMetadata>
    <RequestId>2a1305a2-ed1c-43fc-b7c4-e6966b5e2727</RequestId>
    <BoxUsage>0.0000219907</BoxUsage>
  </ResponseMetadata>
</CreateDomainResponse>
```
