Registering domains with AWS

Question

A customer would like to register some domains with AWS, however has some questions:

1) On the docs I see that AWS is partnered with a 3rd party that handles the registration of some specific TLDs like .land. They would like to know, before buying a .land domain:
Do they end up agreeing to the 3rd party's service agreements along with AWS service agreements, OR will they be only agreeing to AWS service agreements.

2) Can you register a domain in the Arabic language. I did see on the docs that there was an example of registering a Czech domain. However they just want to make sure, before registering, that they can register a domain in Arabic like: مثال.com

3) Is it possible to transfer a .exposed or .land domain name to AWS?

4) Is it possible to transfer an international language domain like مثال.com to AWS?

Accepted Answer

1) The customer will be agreeing to https://aws.amazon.com/route53/domain-registration-agreement/
They will have to read themselves and decide if that works for them or not.

2) Have a look at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/DomainNameFormat.html#domain-name-format-idns for details on how non-ASCII domain names are handled and stored. Whether such an internationalized domain name can be used, depends on the top level domain (TLD). Check here (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html) if the TLD in question supports it or not.

3) Both domains that you list are on the list of supported TLDs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar-tld-list.html)

4) Yes, the TLD .com supports internationalized domain names. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/com.html
