I would rate the pricing for Amazon Route 53 as obviously costly; it is high compared to others. I would recommend Amazon Route 53 for all company sizes because the charges are very low compared to other hosting providers. However, it is not meant for very small or small companies because sometimes small companies can't even afford 12 to 14 USD per year to maintain domain records. Instead, they build a Linux-based system that acts as a domain control panel, a DNS. For me, Amazon Route 53 is required because I don't need to maintain my local hardware. It's a software model, and I don't need to worry about backend hardware. If my hardware fails, I need to pay for it, the operating system, and the bandwidth, so if I use Amazon Route 53, I don't need to worry at all. That's why I prefer Amazon Route 53.
We pay per use. There is no flat fee. We had to pay upfront for Cloudflare. A flat fee is easy, but it might not be cost-effective. There might have been many services that we were not using. Amazon Route 53’s price is competitive. The price is purely volume-based. It is nice because we need not pay much if our traffic is reduced. The solution could be expensive for some sites with huge demands. However, we can model it accurately since it is a pay-per-use model. It scales with our revenue.
The pricing depends on usage and is moderate. If you create a domain space in the solution, then you have to use it every time for projects, websites, and documentation. Your cost increases based on usage across months, days, or minutes.
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service. It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Amazon Route 53 is fully compliant with IPv6 as well.
