Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at
https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/.
If you're new to Route 53, choose Get started.
If you're already using Route 53, in the navigation pane, choose Registered domains.
Choose Register domain, and specify the domain that you want to register:
Enter the domain name that you want to register, and choose Check to find out
whether the domain name is available.
If the domain name that you want to register contains characters other than a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and - (hyphen),
note the following:
You can enter the name using the applicable characters. You don't need to convert the name
to Punycode.
A list of languages appears. Choose the language of the specified name. For example,
if you enter příklad ("example" in Czech), choose Czech (CES) or Czech (CZE).
For languages that have more than one code, you might need to try both of them.
Even though CES and CZE are synonymous, some TLD registries support only one or the other.
If the domain is available, choose Add to cart. The domain name
appears in your shopping cart.
The Related domain suggestions list shows other domains that you
might want to register instead of your first choice (if it's not available) or in addition to
your first choice. Choose Add to cart for each additional domain that you want to register,
up to a maximum of five domains.
Choose Next.
In the shopping cart, choose the number of years that you want to register the domain for.
To register more domains, repeat steps 3a through 3c.
Choose Continue.
On the Contact Details for Your n Domains page,
enter contact information for the domain registrant, administrator, and technical contacts. The values that you enter here
are applied to all of the domains that you're registering. For more information, see
Values that you specify when you register or transfer a domain.
Note the following considerations:
- First Name and Last Name
For First Name and Last Name, we recommend that you specify the name
on your official ID. For some changes to domain settings, some domain registries require that you provide
proof of identity. The name on your ID must match the name of the registrant contact for the domain.
- Different contacts
By default, we use the same information for all three contacts. If you want to enter different information
for one or more contacts, change the value of My Registrant, Administrative, and Technical Contacts are
all the same to No.
For .it domains, the registrant and administrative contacts must be the same.
- Multiple domains
-
If you're registering more than one domain, we use the same contact information for all of the domains.
- Additional required information
-
For some top-level domains (TLDs), we're required to collect additional information. For these TLDs,
enter the applicable values after the Postal/Zip Code field.
- Privacy protection
Choose whether you want to hide your contact information from WHOIS queries.
You must specify the same privacy setting for the administrative, registrant, and technical contacts.
For more information, see the following topics:
To enable privacy protection for .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, and .org.uk domains, you must open a support case and request
privacy protection.
Choose Continue.
Some TLDs only – If you specified an email address for the registrant contact
that has never been used to register a domain with Route 53, some TLD registries require you to verify that the address is valid.
If the registry requires verification and if it's possible to verify the address during domain registration, the console
displays a Verify the Email Address for the Registrant Contact section:
If the section doesn't appear, skip to step 8.
If the section appears and the status is email-address is verified,
skip to step 8.
If the section appears and the value is Registrant email not verified,
continue with this step.
Perform the following steps:
Choose Send verification email. We send a verification email from one of the following email addresses:
noreply@registrar.amazon.com – for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar.
noreply@domainnameverification.net – for TLDs registered by our registrar associate, Gandi.
To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see Finding your registrar.
The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to verify that the email was received, or
we must suspend the domain as required by ICANN. When a domain is suspended, it's not accessible on the internet.
When you receive the verification email, choose the link in the email that verifies that the email address is valid.
If you don't receive the email immediately, check your junk email folder.
Return to the Route 53 console. If the status doesn't automatically update to say
email-address is verified, choose Refresh status.
-
Choose whether you want us to automatically renew your domain registration before the expiration date.
Domain name registrations and renewals are not refundable. If you enable automatic domain renewal and you decide
that you don't want the domain name after we renew the registration, you can't get a refund for the cost of the renewal.
Review the information that you entered, read the terms of service, and select the check box to confirm
that you've read the terms of service.
Choose Complete Purchase.
AISPL (India) customers only: If your contact address is in India, your user agreement is with
Amazon Internet Services Pvt. Ltd (AISPL), a local AWS seller in India. To register a domain with Route 53, perform the
following steps to pay the fee for registering your domain.
Go to the Orders and Invoices page in the
AWS Management Console.
In the Payments Due section, find the applicable invoice.
In the Actions column, choose Verify and Pay.
After you pay the invoice, we complete the domain registration and send the applicable emails.
If you don't pay the invoice within five days, the invoice is canceled. To register a domain
after an invoice is canceled, resubmit the request.
For more information, see Managing your payments in India
in the AWS Billing User Guide.
Generic TLDs only – Verify that the email address for the
registrant contact is valid.
If you were able to verify your email address in step 7, skip to step 13.
If the registry requires us to verify the email address for the registrant contact but doesn't allow us to verify
earlier in the process, we send a verification email from one of the following email addresses:
noreply@registrar.amazon.com – for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar.
noreply@domainnameverification.net – for TLDs registered by our
registrar associate, Gandi.
To determine who the registrar is for your TLD, see
Finding your registrar.
When you receive the verification email, choose the link in the email that verifies that the email address is valid.
If you don't receive the email immediately:
The registrant contact must follow the instructions in the email to confirm that the email was received,
or we must suspend the domain as required by ICANN. When a domain is suspended, it's not accessible on the internet.
For all TLDs, you'll receive an email when your domain registration has been approved.
To determine the current status of your request, see Viewing the status of a domain registration.
(Optional) The domain registries for all generic TLDs and many geographic TLDs let you lock a domain
to prevent someone from transferring the domain to another registrar without your permission. To determine whether
the registry for your domain lets you lock the domain, see Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53.
If locking is supported and you want to lock your domain, see Locking a domain to prevent unauthorized transfer to another registrar.
When domain registration is complete, your next step depends on whether you want to use Route 53 or another DNS service as the
DNS service for the domain:
Route 53 – In the hosted zone that Route 53 created when you registered
the domain, create records to tell Route 53 how you want to route traffic for the domain and subdomains.
For example, when someone enters your domain name in a browser and that query is
forwarded to Route 53, do you want Route 53 to respond to
the query with the IP address of a web server in
your data center or with the name of an Elastic Load Balancing load
balancer?
For more information, see Working with records.
If you create records in a hosted zone other than the one that Route 53 creates automatically,
you must update the name servers for the domain to use the name servers for the new hosted zone.
Another DNS service – Configure your new domain to route DNS queries to
the other DNS service. Perform the procedure
Updating name servers to use another registrar.
