# Amazon Route 53 endpoints and quotas
<a name="r53"></a>

To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. AWS services offer the following endpoint types in some or all of the AWS Regions that the service supports: IPv4 endpoints, dual-stack endpoints, and FIPS endpoints. Some services provide global endpoints. For more information, see [AWS service endpoints](rande.md).

Service quotas, also referred to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your AWS account. For more information, see [AWS service quotas](aws_service_limits.md).

The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service.

## Service endpoints
<a name="r53_region"></a>

### Hosted zones, records, health checks, DNS query logs, reusable delegation sets, traffic policies, and cost allocation tags
<a name="r53_region_hosted_zones"></a>

When you use the **AWS CLI or SDKs** to submit requests, you can either leave the Region and endpoint unspecified, or specify the applicable Region:
+ Route 53 in AWS Regions other than the Beijing and Ningxia Regions: specify us-east-1 as the Region.
+ Route 53 in the Beijing and Ningxia Regions: specify cn-northwest-1.

When you use the **Route 53 API** to submit requests, use the same Regions as above to sign requests. The IPv4 service endpoint is route53.amazonaws.com and the dual-stack service endpoint is route53.global.api.aws.
