## Dedicated connections

* **Note**\
  You cannot use the AWS Direct Connect console to request a hosted connection. Instead, contact an AWS Direct Connect Partner, who can create a hosted connection for you, which you then accept. Skip the following procedure and go to [Accept your hosted connection](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_direct_connect/getting_started.md#get-started-accept-hosted-connection).
* **Note**\
  For more information about pricing, see [AWS Direct Connect Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/pricing/). If you no longer want the connection after you have reissued the LOA-CFA, you must delete the connection yourself. For more information, see [Delete connections](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_direct_connect/deleteconnection.md).
