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

azure

    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
