Hi,
Is there any way of creating a subdomain in O365 with an already existing domain?
Example: webshop.contorso.com where contorso.com is the main domain controlled by the NS pointers by Microsoft.
It seems that the only way is to move the domain outside O365 to a more advanced DNS server.
All threads that I checked says that you have to move the domain to an external DNS, but they are a bit old.
The DNS editor in admin center is very simple. No other way of doing this?
Best Regards

Hi @headmaster,
Is advised to use a DNS managed externally to have other options that are not available on DNS managed by Office 365, you can read more here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/admin/setup/domains-faq?view=o365-worldwide

Thanks for answer.
But to change a domain to an external DNS provider is always a risky business with a risk for down-periods for both homepage, mail, SharePoint and Teams. I would not say that it is an easy thing to fix for a medium size company with important communication flow.

Hi @headmaster,
If you prepare all DNS records on the destination DNS when you change the name servers on your registrar of your domain, you will not have any downtime.
