Hosted Zone

A Hosted Zone in AWS Route 53 acts as a container for records, which include information about how you want to route traffic for a specific domain and its subdomains. A hosted zone and its corresponding domain must have the same name. AWS Route 53 ensures that the DNS settings for your domain are stored and updated according to your specifications. For detailed information, you can refer to the official AWS Route 53 documentation.
