AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 112

A company is migrating its public website to AWS. The company wants to host the domain name for the website on AWS.
Which AWS service should the company use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. Amazon Route 53
• C. Amazon CloudFront
• D. AWS Direct Connect

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is Amazon Route 53, as it is specifically designed for domain name registration and DNS management on AWS. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service, Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network, and AWS Direct Connect is used for establishing a dedicated network connection, none of which are suitable for hosting a domain name.
