"When you purchase new domains via Route 53, the service will automatically configure a Hosted Zone for each domain and ensure the privacy of your WHOIS record at no additional charge".
- mgkimsal 12y agoconfiguring the hosted zone... but do you get charged for it as well? i can't tell by that language. EDIT: just tried to set one up - it looks like it's still an extra charge, so.. $12 for a .com plus minimum $6/year $18/year - kinda high if you don't need all the flexibility of the amazon platform. I don't see a lot of domain parkers taking them up on this.
- ceejayoz 12y agoI don't think domain parkers are Amazon's target market.

- wise_young_man 12y agoGood catch, thanks. I didn't see that when I was reading on my phone. In that case I'm actually really excited about this then as the pricing seems pretty good with the registry price and ICANN domain fee plus the cost of maintaining a registrar and the WHOIS privacy I think I will be moving my domains.
