**To register a domain**

The following ``register-domain`` command registers a domain, retrieving all parameter values from a JSON-formatted file. 

This command runs only in the ``us-east-1`` Region. If your default region is set to ``us-east-1``, you can omit the ``region`` parameter. ::

    aws route53domains register-domain \
        --region us-east-1 \
        --cli-input-json file://register-domain.json

Contents of ``register-domain.json``::
