DNS turns names like www.example.com into IP addresses. In Azure, “Azure DNS server” usually means one of four things: Azure DNS public zones (host your internet domains), Private DNS zones (names inside your VNets), DNS Private Resolver (connect Azure and on-premises DNS) and the built-in Azure-provided DNS every VNet gets.
Replace the name servers at your domain registrar.
Step 5
Add records
A (website), CNAME, MX (email) and others.
Do it right
Best practices for Azure DNS
✅ ✅ Checklist: Put resource locks on production zones • use private zones for internal names and private endpoints • keep DNS records in code • use the Private Resolver for hybrid networks instead of custom DNS VMs.
