Can we add .earth as a valid top level domain in Route 53?

Hi Tushar,

Thank you, this is what I ended up doing in the end! Take care,

Shane

Hello,

Currently ".earth" TLD is not in the list of Domains that you can register with Amazon Route 53. AWS does keep adding new TLDs to the list so keep an eye on the list of officially supported TLDs.

That being said, as the domain is already registered with another registrar, you can just:

• Create a public hosted zone in Route53: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/CreatingHostedZone.html
• Get the nameservers for this zone: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html
• Set these nameservers in your registrar console (often found in glue records or nameservers)
• Use your public hosted zone by creating records

Note here that you can have a registrar (for example GoDaddy) different than the DNS service (Amazon Route53).

See this link that explains the whole procedure: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/migrate-dns-domain-in-use.html

Hope this helps.
