RegisterDomain

This operation registers a domain. For some top-level domains (TLDs), this operation requires extra parameters.

When you register a domain, Amazon Route 53 does the following:

Creates a Route 53 hosted zone that has the same name as the domain. Route 53 assigns four name servers to your hosted zone and automatically updates your domain registration with the names of these name servers.
Enables auto renew, so your domain registration will renew automatically each year. We'll notify you in advance of the renewal date so you can choose whether to renew the registration.
Optionally enables privacy protection, so WHOIS queries return contact for the registrar or the phrase "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY", or "On behalf of <domain name> owner." If you don't enable privacy protection, WHOIS queries return the information that you entered for the administrative, registrant, and technical contacts.

Note
While some domains may allow different privacy settings per contact, we recommend specifying the same privacy setting for all contacts.
If registration is successful, returns an operation ID that you can use to track the progress and completion of the action. If the request is not completed successfully, the domain registrant is notified by email.
Charges your AWS account an amount based on the top-level domain. For more information, see Amazon Route 53 Pricing.
