Route 53 registering domain failed after the first one

0

Hi, I'm attempting to register 5 domains.

The first on .com succeeded. The second on .org failed. The third on .ca failed. The forth on .com failed. The fifth on .ca failed. All with this message coming in a few seconds:

We weren't able to register the domain name. This happened for the following reason(s):

We can't finish registering your domain. Contact AWS Support at https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/home?region=us-east-1#/case/create?issueType=customer-service&serviceCode=service-domains&categoryCode=registration-issue for further information.

We apologize for the inconvenience. For more information, contact Amazon Web Services Customer Support.

How do you get this resolved? I've opened a support case, but haven't heard anything back. How long does it to get a case assigned?

Thank you.

Hello.

It seems that similar errors can occur with newly created AWS accounts.
In the thread below, users facing the same issue as you were discussing the matter.
According to a Reddit thread, the issue was resolved by contacting AWS Support.
Since you have already contacted AWS Support, the best course of action is to wait for a response.
The thread mentioned that it took about two days to receive a reply.
While this may not apply to every user, it suggests that the process could take a few days.

I understand how frustrating it must be to have multiple domain registrations fail after your first successful registration. Based on the error message you're receiving, this appears to be an issue that requires direct investigation by AWS Support, which you've already correctly initiated by opening a support case.

Response times for support cases vary depending on your AWS Support plan:

  • Basic Support (free tier) - No technical support; only account and billing questions
  • Developer Support - Business hours response, typically within 12-24 hours
  • Business Support - 24/7 response, typically within 1 hour for urgent issues, 12 hours for general guidance
  • Enterprise Support - 24/7 response with faster response times

Since you've already opened a support case, you can check its status and add any additional information through the AWS Support Center at https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/. Adding correspondence to your existing case with details like the specific domain names you're trying to register and the exact timestamps of the failures may help expedite the investigation.

While domain registration failures can sometimes occur due to contact information validation issues, the generic error message you're receiving suggests there may be a different underlying issue that AWS Support will need to investigate directly. They'll have access to the backend systems needed to determine why the registrations are failing and can work with you to resolve it.

If you need faster response times for future issues, you might also want to review your AWS Support plan options to see if a different tier would better meet your needs.
