Amazon Route 53 Domains extended its domain registration service in early 2026 to include ten new top-level domains such as .ai, .shop, .bot, and .now. This diversification allows businesses and individuals to select domains resonating with their field or audience, like using .ai for AI-related companies or .shop for e-commerce sites.

The newly supported TLDs integrate seamlessly with Route 53’s DNS management, enabling efficient domain administration alongside existing hosted zones and records. Registrations can be managed via the AWS Console, CLI, or SDKs, with automatic renewal features and region-wide availability. Pricing varies per TLD category.
