Working with Route53 and domain registration and have a cost question

Hello,

In your described case, AWS will charge you for the following components:

1. Domain Registration: When you register a domain through Route 53, you will be charged for the domain. Pricing for domain names varies by TLD.

2. Hosted Zone: Route 53 automatically creates a hosted zone for each domain you register. The hosted zone itself has a cost associated with it:

• $0.50 per hosted zone per month for the first 25 hosted zones
• $0.10 per hosted zone per month for additional hosted zones

A hosted zone includes up to 10,000 records. For each record greater than 10,000 per hosted zone, you will be charged $0.0015 per month.

3. DNS Queries: Standard Queries cost $0.40 per million queries (first 1 billion queries per month)

Please note that you can take advantage of the AWS Free Tier, which provides free usage for some AWS services. See also: https://aws.amazon.com/free/
