Office 365 and godaddy hosting
If you bought your domain name from within Office 365 and Microsoft is managing your DNS, this is going to pose a challenge. If I remember correctly, Office 365 managed DNS only let’s you ad TXT records to your domain. As mentioned, you need an A record pointing to a IP address for a public website.
I’m not sure if you can/how easy it is to transfer the domain name from Office 365 to a registrar like GoDaddy (I can’t imagine it’s not possible, but it may require a support ticket), but that’s what I would try to do first. Once the domain is actually managed/hosted at GoDaddy, you have a lot more flexibility to manage DNS and make the changes necessary to host your public website elsewhere.
As a general rule of them, I recommend people not purchase their domain and host the DNS in Office 365 because it tends to be fairly limited in what you can then do with that domain name.
