In this recipe, we registered a domain from both the AWS Management Console and the AWS CLI.

Route 53 can be used for registering domain names, configuring DNS routing strategies, and even checking the health of resources. Route 53 is a global service, and it is Amazon's DNS management service. DNS stands for Domain Name System. DNS takes care of converting the domain name that you use over the internet to the corresponding host system IP address. Route 53 was named on the basis of DNS port 53. 

You also saw that AWS supports privacy protection for supported domain names. WHOIS queries can be used by anyone to obtain basic information regarding a domain and its registrant. Privacy protection hides some of your information during WHOIS queries, such as your name, phone number, and email. Without privacy protection, this information could be used by spammers. However, privacy protection is restricted for some extensions, such as .in.
