gcloud domains registrations register

NAME

gcloud domains registrations register - register a new domain

SYNOPSIS

gcloud domains registrations register REGISTRATION [--contact-data-from-file=CONTACT_DATA_FILE_NAME] [--contact-privacy=CONTACT_PRIVACY] [--validate-only] [--cloud-dns-zone=CLOUD_DNS_ZONE     | --name-servers=NAME_SERVER,…,[…]     | --use-google-domains-dns] [--async] [--disable-dnssec] [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]] [--notices=[NOTICE,…]] [--yearly-price=YEARLY_PRICE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

Create a new Cloud Domains registration resource by registering a new domain. The new resource's ID will be equal to the domain name.

After this command executes, the resource will be in state REGISTRATION_PENDING. The registration process should complete in less than 5 minutes. After that the resource will be in state ACTIVE. In rare cases this process can take much longer due, for example, to a downtime of the domain registry.

Also in rare cases, the domain may end up in state REGISTRATION_FAILED. In that case, delete the registration resource and try again.

When using Cloud DNS Zone DNSSEC will be enabled by default whenever the Zone is DNSSEC signed. You can choose to not enable DNSSEC by using the --disable-dnssec flag.

EXAMPLES

To register example.com interactively, run:

gcloud domains registrations register example.com

To register example.com using contact data from a YAML file contacts.yaml, run:

gcloud domains registrations register example.com --contact-data-from-file=contacts.yaml

To register example.com with interactive prompts disabled, provide --contact-data-from-file, --contact-privacy, --yearly-price flags and one of the flags for setting authoritative name servers. Sometimes also --notices flag is required. For example, run:

gcloud domains registrations register example.com --contact-data-from-file=contacts.yaml --contact-privacy=private-contact-data --yearly-price="12.00 USD" --cloud-dns-zone=example-com --quiet

--contact-privacy=CONTACT_PRIVACY

The contact privacy mode to use. Supported privacy modes depend on the domain. CONTACT_PRIVACY must be one of:

private-contact-data

(DEPRECATED) Your contact info won't be available to the public. To help protect your info and prevent spam, a third party provides alternate (proxy) contact info for your domain in the public directory at no extra cost. They will forward received messages to you. The private-contact-data option is deprecated; See https://cloud.google.com/domains/docs/deprecations/feature-deprecations.

public-contact-data

All the data from contact config is publicly available. To set this value, you must also pass the --notices flag with value public-contact-data-acknowledgement or agree to the notice interactively.

redacted-contact-data

Limited personal information will be available to the public. The actual information redacted depends on the domain. For more information see https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3251242.

--validate-only

Don't actually create registration. Only validate arguments.

Set the authoritative name servers for the given domain. At most one of these can be specified:

--cloud-dns-zone=CLOUD_DNS_ZONE

The name of the Cloud DNS managed-zone to set as the name server for the domain. If it's in the same project, you can use short name. If not, use the full resource name, e.g.: --cloud-dns-zone=projects/example-project/managedZones/example-zone. If the zone is signed, DNSSEC will be enabled by default unless you pass --disable-dnssec.

--name-servers=NAME_SERVER,…,[…]

List of DNS name servers for the domain.

--use-google-domains-dns

(REMOVED) Use free name servers provided by Google Domains. If the zone is signed, DNSSEC will be enabled by default unless you pass --disable-dnssec.

Flag --use-google-domains-dns has been removed.

OTHER FLAGS

--async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--disable-dnssec

Use this flag to disable DNSSEC, or to skip enabling it when switching to a Cloud DNS Zone or Google Domains nameservers.

--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--notices=[NOTICE,…]

Notices about special properties of certain domains or contacts. NOTICE must be one of:

public-contact-data-acknowledgement

By sending this notice you acknowledge that using public-contact-data contact privacy makes all the data from contact config publicly available.

hsts-preloaded

By sending this notice you acknowledge that the domain is preloaded on the HTTP Strict Transport Security list in browsers. Serving a website on such domain will require an SSL certificate. See https://support.google.com/domains/answer/7638036 for details.

--yearly-price=YEARLY_PRICE

Accept the domain's yearly price in the interactive flow or by using this flag. Use a number followed by a currency code, for example, "12.00 USD". Get the price using the get-register-parameters command.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
