# Create Container Registry

`POST /v2/registry`

To create your container registry, send a POST request to `/v2/registry`.

The `name` becomes part of the URL for images stored in the registry. For
example, if your registry is called `example`, an image in it will have the
URL `registry.digitalocean.com/example/image:tag`.

## Request body

  - `subscription_tier_slug` 'starter' | 'basic' | 'professional', required — The slug of the subscription tier to sign up for. Valid values can be retrieved using the options endpoint.
  - `region` 'nyc3' | 'sfo3' | 'ams3' | 'sgp1' | 'fra1' — Slug of the region where registry data is stored. When not provided, a region will be selected.
