Now to buy a domain name, you can directly from the AWS console. When you purchase new domains via Route 53, your domain will automatically be configured to work with the service, with private registration (private WHOIS) will be enabled by default. Also it becomes easier to manage your expenses because the expense for the purchased domains will be available along with other resources in your shared account (consolidated billing). Route 53 offers a choice of more than 150 top-level domains (TLDs), including the most popular .com .net .org, and .info and regional top-level domains, including .co.uk .de, .tv, and .com.au.
