> I had a domain with low traffic and it was $6/year just for DNS hosted zone
Amazon should give away free hosted DNS zones for Amazon-registered domains. The $0.50 per hosted zone per month doesn't scale down very well. I have a dozen domains I've accumulated for various projects I'll probably never finish. Their traffic is almost zero. I would much rather use Route 53 DNS for these domains, but at $6/month it's not worth it. I would seriously consider transferring domain registration from Gandi to AWS if it included free hosted zones.
EDIT: I didn't realize initially that Amazon is in fact partnering with Gandi, which doesn't change anything, but it's interesting.
