AWS Route53: Route 53 domain registration: email confirmation and suspension wording

Service: Route53 · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/troubleshooting-domain-unavailable.md

Summary

Removed the note that the registrant contact confirmation email is resent up to two more times if unanswered, and clarified that ICANN-required suspension of an unconfirmed domain makes it unavailable on the internet.

Security assessment

The change is purely editorial troubleshooting text about ICANN registrant email confirmation and the resulting domain suspension; no security control, secret, or vulnerability is introduced or addressed.

Evidence

+If you don't choose the link in the email in the allotted amount of time, ICANN requires that we suspend the domain, which makes it unavailable on the internet. For information about how to resend the confirmation email to the registrant contact, see [Resending authorization and confirmation emails](./domain-click-email-link.html).

-When you register a new domain, ICANN requires that we get confirmation that the email address for the registrant contact is valid. To get confirmation, we send an email that contains a link. (If you don't respond to the first email, we resend the same email up to two more times.) You have between 3 and 15 days to choose the link, depending on the top-level domain. After that time, the link stops working.
