Amazon Web Services API Domain
api.aws is a domain under the .aws generic top-level domain (gTLD), which is owned and operated by Amazon Web Services. The .aws TLD was delegated to Amazon Registry Services in 2016 and transferred to AWS Registry LLC in 2021.
Domain Purpose
This domain appears to be reserved by Amazon for potential use with AWS API services. Currently, the domain does not resolve to a live website, suggesting it may be held for future infrastructure use or internal AWS operations.
DNS Infrastructure
The domain is hosted entirely on Amazon's Route 53 DNS infrastructure:
- Nameservers:
- ns-225.awsdns-28.com
- ns-662.awsdns-18.net
- ns-1471.awsdns-55.org
- ns-1805.awsdns-33.co.uk
- DNSSEC: Not signed
- Mail servers: None configured
About the .aws TLD
The .aws top-level domain is a brand TLD exclusively controlled by Amazon. AWS Registry LLC (headquartered in Seattle, WA) operates the registry, with technical services managed by Nominet UK. The TLD is used for Amazon Web Services branding and infrastructure.
