‫Okay, so let's open the Route 53 service,
‫which is a scalable DNS management system.
‫Okay, so as we can see,
‫there is only one hosted zone on for
‫me and one domain for me.
‫That's because I've already reserved domain, but for you,
‫it should say zero hosted zones and zero domains.
‫So let's go on the left-hand side into Registered domains.
‫And as you can see here,
‫I've already registered a domain
‫called stephanetheteacher.com.
‫So this is something I've purchased in the past
‫and something that if you want to follow this section
‫with me, you will have to purchase your own domain.
‫So it has to be a domain that doesn't exist already, okay?
‫So I've purchased the stephanetheteacher.com,
‫but let me register a domain with you.
‫I will not go all the way with the domain purchase,
‫but I can show you at least the steps.
‫So first, we need to choose a domain, for example,
‫noonehasthisdomainexceptstephane.com.
‫I'm pretty sure this is going to be available.
‫Let's check.
‫And yes, it is available.
‫So here, we see the domains and the price.
‫So this is something
‫that's going to cost me $12 per year, okay?
‫So just so you know, if you go ahead with this,
‫well, you can practice alongside with me,
‫but it will cost you a little bit of money.
‫If you wanna remain within the free tier of AWS,
‫you can not go ahead with this section.
‫You just have to watch.
‫Okay, so let's add this to cart,
‫and we're going to register this domain for one year.
‫You cannot do anything that's lower than that.
‫Let's click on Next.
‫And then you have to specify the contacts for your domain.
‫So you can say the contacts that you have,
‫so I will let you fill that in.
‫And if you have the option,
‫please enable privacy protection.
‫This is to make sure that your contact details are hidden
‫for .com domains, and therefore,
‫you're not going to be spammed by some people
‫after you register a domain.
‫Next, you check your contact details,
‫which should look good.
‫And then automatically we will be using the Route 53
‫to manage your domain.
‫Do you want to automatically renew it?
‫Yes or no, it's up to you if you wanna keep it forever.
‫And then do you accept the terms and conditions?
‫The answer should be yes,
‫and then you can complete your order.
‫So once this is done,
‫you're going to have the domain being registered.
‫It can take maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours,
‫but then you should be good to go,
‫and the domain should be ready.
‫And finally, from there,
‫you can go into your Hosted zones,
‫and you should see a new Hosted zone for your domain name
‫that you just purchased.
‫And as you can see, the type will be Public.
‫It's created by Route 53 directly.
‫You should have to record counts,
‫and then in this Hosted zone, if you click on it,
‫you're going to have the NS records and the SOA records.
‫So to make it simple,
‫the only one you should care about, worry about
‫is this one, or not worried about, but just look at.
‫So the NS tells you the name servers.
‫It's saying that, "Okay, for this domain name,
‫stephanetheteacher.com,
‫then these servers are the authoritative answers.
‫They can give you the values of whatever records
‫we're going to have in this table," okay?
‫So that's it for registering a domain name.
‫I hope you liked it,
‫and it will see you in the next lecture
‫to start creating some records.
