You can register a domain right inside AWS using Route 53. Here’s how, in simple steps:

1. ****Sign in to AWS Console****  
    <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Go to </span>[https://console.aws.amazon.com](https://console.aws.amazon.com)<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> and log in.</span>
2. ****Open Route 53****  
    In the search bar at top, type “Route 53” and click the Route 53 service.
3. ****Go to Registered Domains****  
    <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In the left menu, click </span>****“Registered domains.”****
4. ****Start a new registration****  
    <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click the </span>****“Register domain”****<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> button.</span>
5. ****Search your name****
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In the box, type the name you want (for example, </span>`<span class="editor-theme-code">mywebsite.com</span>`).
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click </span>****“Check”****.
6. ****Choose an available name****
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If it’s free, click </span>****“Add to cart.”****
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If not, try a different name or ending (like </span>`<span class="editor-theme-code">.net</span>`).
7. ****View your cart****  
    <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click </span>****“Review”****<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> or go to the cart icon.</span>
8. ****Enter contact details****
    - AWS needs your name, address, email, and phone.
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If you want privacy, check </span>****“Enable privacy protection.”****
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click </span>****“Continue.”****
9. ****Verify and purchase****
    - Review the price and years (1 year, 2 years, etc.).
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click </span>****“Complete order.”****
10. ****Wait for confirmation****  
    AWS will send you an email when your domain is ready. It usually takes a few minutes.
11. ****Create a Hosted Zone****<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (to use your domain)</span>
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in Route 53, click </span>****“Hosted zones.”****
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click </span>****“Create hosted zone.”****
    - <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Type your new domain name and click </span>****“Create.”****
12. ****Point your domain to AWS****
    - In your hosted zone, copy the “Name servers” listed.
    - If AWS registered your domain, this is set automatically.
    - If you used another registrar, paste these name servers into their DNS settings.

Now your domain is registered and ready in AWS! 🎉  
You can add records (A, CNAME, MX) in your hosted zone to make your finmars work. See it in "[Create Virtual Machine](https://docs.finmars.com/books/installation-guide-with-aws-advanced/page/create-virtual-machine)" Page
