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.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to CreateHostedZoneAsync.

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ConflictingDomainExistsException | The cause of this error depends on the operation that you're performing: Create a public hosted zone: Two hosted zones that have the same name or that have a parent/child relationship (example.com and test.example.com) can't have any common name servers. You tried to create a hosted zone that has the same name as an existing hosted zone or that's the parent or child of an existing hosted zone, and you specified a delegation set that shares one or more name servers with the existing hosted zone. For more information, see CreateReusableDelegationSet. Create a private hosted zone: A hosted zone with the specified name already exists and is already associated with the Amazon VPC that you specified. Associate VPCs with a private hosted zone: The VPC that you specified is already associated with another hosted zone that has the same name. |
| DelegationSetNotAvailableException | You can create a hosted zone that has the same name as an existing hosted zone (example.com is common), but there is a limit to the number of hosted zones that have the same name. If you get this error, Amazon Route 53 has reached that limit. If you own the domain name and Route 53 generates this error, contact Customer Support. |
| DelegationSetNotReusableException | A reusable delegation set with the specified ID does not exist. |
| HostedZoneAlreadyExistsException | The hosted zone you're trying to create already exists. Amazon Route 53 returns this error when a hosted zone has already been created with the specified CallerReference. |
| InvalidDomainNameException | The specified domain name is not valid. |
| InvalidInputException | The input is not valid. |
| InvalidVPCIdException | The VPC ID that you specified either isn't a valid ID or the current account is not authorized to access this VPC. |
| NoSuchDelegationSetException | A reusable delegation set with the specified ID does not exist. |
| TooManyHostedZonesException | This operation can't be completed either because the current account has reached the limit on the number of hosted zones or because you've reached the limit on the number of hosted zones that can be associated with a reusable delegation set. For information about default limits, see Limits in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. To get the current limit on hosted zones that can be created by an account, see GetAccountLimit. To get the current limit on hosted zones that can be associated with a reusable delegation set, see GetReusableDelegationSetLimit. To request a higher limit, create a case with the Amazon Web Services Support Center. |
This example shows how to create an Amazon Route 53 hosted zone and add a resource record set to the zone.
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));
