##### ParametersExpand Collapse

domainName string

Provides a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), including the extension (e.g., `example.com`, `mybrand.app`). The domain name uniquely identifies a registration. Cloudflare permits only one registration per domain, making the domain name a natural idempotency key for registration requests.
