Create a domain

post https://api.linode.com/{apiVersion}/domains

Adds a new Domain to Linode's DNS Manager. Linode is not a registrar, and you must own the domain before adding it here. Be sure to point your registrar to Linode's nameservers so that the records hosted here are used.

linode-cli domains create \
  --type master \
  --domain example.org \
