Instructor: 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.
