Amazon Route 53 operates on a pay-per-use basis with no upfront fees. Costs arise from managing hosted zones (monthly fee per zone), serving DNS queries (excluding Alias A records/AWS services), and an annual domain name fee. There's no prorating for partial months in hosted-zone pricing. Each zone includes 10,000 records, with extra fees for additional records, queries, and health checks. Pricing for different services can be found on AWS's website.
