Transfer Domain Name from Azure
Hello All,
I have bought a domain e.g. mydomain.com within my Azure account.
I would like to host my website with a new provider e.g Host Provider X, since they provide out of the box email services.
Host X is asking me for an EPP (Auth-ID) from azure in order to transfer the domain to the new registrar.
Any idea how to get it?
OR is there a different way to do that?
Thanks

Best way you can Point your MX Record and A record to New Providers IP.
You will need following records to configured on Control Panel
1. Create A records mail.yourdomain.com to your new provider's IP
2. Add MX record: mail.yourdomain.com
3. "A" Record -www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com to you new Prodvider's IP
Best

Hello Sunit,
So I did go to azure mydomain.com DNS zone of my resources, in order to modify record sets.
My questions is:
1- do I need to keep original record sets or delete them and only add the ones you mentioned?Also regarding your steps:
1. "Create A records mail.yourdomain.com to your new provider's IP"
The above IP is it the mail exchange IP of the new provider?
2. "Add MX record: mail.yourdomain.com"
what should I set Preference value?
Lastly, back to the original question, how can I get the EPP?
Thanks- i4 ResearchCopper Contributor
Hi AbuSanad,
Did you manage to find the EPP?
