Renewing registration for a domain

Note You can't use AWS credits to pay the fee for renewing registration for a domain.
Important If you turn off automatic renewal, be aware of the following effects on your domain: Some TLD registries delete domains even before the expiration date if you don't renew early enough. We strongly recommend that you leave automatic renewal enabled if you want to keep a domain name. We also strongly recommend that you don't plan to re-register a domain after it has expired. Some registrars allow others to register domains immediately after the domains expire, so you might not be able to re-register before the domain is taken by someone else. Some registries charge a large premium to restore expired domains. On or near the expiration date, the domain becomes unavailable on the internet.

Important The price for restoring a domain is typically higher and sometimes much higher than the price for registering or renewing a domain. For the current price for restoring a domain, see the Restoration Price column in Amazon Route 53 Pricing for Domain Registration.

Important Amazon Route 53 supports DNSSEC signing and DNSSEC for domain registration. If you want to configure DNSSEC signing for a domain that's registered with Route 53, see Configuring DNSSEC signing in Amazon Route 53.
Note We're updating the domains console for Route 53. During the transition period, you can continue to use the old console.
Important If DNSSEC is enabled for the domain and you disable DNSSEC with the DNS service, DNS resolvers that support DNSSEC will return a SERVFAIL error to clients, and the clients won't be able to access the endpoints that are associated with the domain.

Note If you use invoiced payments, any Route 53 domain registration transactions appear in your monthly AWS invoice. The invoice includes the domain name and operation that each charge applies to.
