Transfer domain when using office 365
My domain DNS is managed from within the Microsoft Office 365 Administration. The domain registrar is REGISTER.COM. If I switch to GoDaddy as the registrar, do I get impacted? Do I need to re-do the DNS manage transfer again?
Most of the time, the registrar will do a zone file transfer. In that way your services will not be interrupted, the DNS records will migrate with the domain registration.
What I usually do is make a text copy of my zone file, execute the transfer and then verify. I think in all instances, except for maybe one, everything transferred over with no need to recreate DNS records. Our business has done just under 100 registrar migrations.
Otherwise, my recommendation to you is to contact both registrar's customer support and pose that question to them, so that you can get peace of mind. And then make your own copy of the zone file anyway.
