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

Hi,

You can find EPP in Azure as "App Service Domains." 

Follow link for changing DNS Records
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/custom-dns-web-site-buydomains-web-app

 

if you completely want to move your NS to different Provider then you have to add new providers NS record to Azure. 

if you want to continue and manage Azure DNS or App Service Domain, you can add IP and Point MX records to new server that will also work for your scenario, email me if you want to do remote session, info(AT)Sunit.co.in
