Register Domain Name

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

  1. Sign in to AWS Console
    Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com and log in.
  2. Open Route 53
    In the search bar at top, type “Route 53” and click the Route 53 service.
  3. Go to Registered Domains
    In the left menu, click “Registered domains.”
  4. Start a new registration
    Click the “Register domain” button.
  5. Search your name
    • In the box, type the name you want (for example, mywebsite.com).
    • Click “Check”.
  6. Choose an available name
    • If it’s free, click “Add to cart.”
    • If not, try a different name or ending (like .net).
  7. View your cart
    Click “Review” or go to the cart icon.
  8. Enter contact details
    • AWS needs your name, address, email, and phone.
    • If you want privacy, check “Enable privacy protection.”
    • Click “Continue.”
  9. Verify and purchase
    • Review the price and years (1 year, 2 years, etc.).
    • Click “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 (to use your domain)
    • Back in Route 53, click “Hosted zones.”
    • Click “Create hosted zone.”
    • Type your new domain name and click “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" Page
