Route53 Pricing

Amazon Route 53 is a scalable domain name system (DNS) web service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It helps users route end-users to internet applications by translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses. The pricing for Amazon Route 53 involves several components, and the costs may vary based on your usage patterns. Please note that pricing details are subject to change, and I recommend checking the AWS website or the official AWS documentation for the most up-to-date pricing information.

Here are some of the main components that contribute to the pricing of Amazon Route 53:

1. Hosted Zones: Amazon Route 53 charges a monthly fee per hosted zone. A hosted zone is a container for DNS records associated with a particular domain or subdomain. The first 25 hosted zones are typically charged at a lower rate, and additional hosted zones are charged at a higher rate.

2. DNS Queries: Amazon Route 53 charges for the number of DNS queries received for your domain. The pricing varies depending on the type of query (e.g., standard queries, latency-based queries, etc.), and the region from which the queries originate.

3. Health Checks: If you use Amazon Route 53’s health check feature to monitor the health of your resources, there may be additional charges based on the number of health checks you set up and the frequency of those checks.

4. Traffic Flow: If you use the Traffic Flow feature, which allows you to route traffic based on various conditions, you may incur additional charges.

5. Domain Registration: If you register new domains through Amazon Route 53, there will be separate costs associated with the domain registration and renewal.

6. Data Transfer: There may be data transfer charges if your DNS queries or DNS updates exceed certain limits.

7. Resolver DNS Firewall (optional): If you use the Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall to block DNS queries to specific domains, there could be additional costs.

Please keep in mind that AWS often offers a free tier for new customers, which includes limited usage of certain services, including Amazon Route 53, for the first 12 months.
