Route53.Client.create_hosted_zone(**kwargs)¶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).
Warning
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:
DelegationSetId element.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.
Note
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 Regionsaws-cn - China Regionsaws-us-gov - Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) RegionFor more information, see Access Management in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

)
[REQUIRED]
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 .
(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.
(Private hosted zones only) The region that an Amazon VPC was created in.
(Private hosted zones only) The ID of an Amazon VPC.
[REQUIRED]
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.
(Optional) A complex type that contains the following optional values:
PrivateZone elementIf you don't specify a comment or the PrivateZone element, omit HostedZoneConfig and the other elements.
Any comments that you want to include about the hosted zone.
A value that indicates whether this is a private hosted zone.
