I purchased a Domain from google and got 5 gb space from 5gbfree hosting website how should i now connect the domain to host?
You can update the DNS in the domain control panel.
For the DNS you can check the same in your hosting control panel.
If you are not able to find the DNS, then you can check for the IP(A-record) in your hosting control panel and update the same in the DNS manager of your domain control panel
The DNS can be updated from the DNS Manager in the provided domain control panel.
I hope it helps.

I purchased domain on dreamhost. and I deploy my application on other server. How to connect the dreamhost domain to other server ip address?
In goddady, there is an option to specify ip address on other server.
but I can't find a those settings on dreamhost DNS.
Anybody has a similar experience?
I found an answer. we need to set DNS only at the Hosting tab on
Dreamhost/websites/your_websites.
and Go to the DNS tab
First, click the Refresh DNS, it may take a few minutes
and then click the Add Record Button, and set your IP address on hosting.
How do I change the nameserver in a Microsoft Azure DNS Zone to be something else? I'd like to use Cloudflare for my nameservers instead of the default Azure ones.
As far as I know, you can not change Microsoft azure DNS name server. Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. But Azure DNS supports co-hosting domains with other DNS services.
To set up co-hosting, modify the NS records for the domain to point to the name servers of both providers. Read here.
For example, you can add name servers from Cloudflare in the additional name servers in the NS record on the Azure portal.
The Name Server (NS) update are done on the domain registrar side. In 'Azure DNS', Microsoft just manages the domain they are not the registrar.
If you want Cloud Flare to manage your domain the NS record needs to be change on the domain registrar side.
If you bought an Azure App Service Domain, you get a DNS Zone (mine didn't work properly, and that's how I got to my solution). You also get a second resource from the domain itself (the App Service Domain resource). If you there click on the tab Advanced Management portal you will be redirected to a different site. From there you can go to the DNS tab at the top, select Manage Zones and fill in the domain you want to control.
From there, scroll down, and you'll see something like this.
As you can see, there are two nameservers. Those nameservers point to Azures DNS system. But here, you can actually change the nameservers.
I bought a domain from Google Domains. I have an A record (on Google Domains DNS control panel) pointed to my server's IP. I had a www CNAME record pointed to mydomain.tld. To experiment with my hosting panel's DNS (I have VestaCP) I deleted the www record from Google Domains DNS panel. There was already a www A record on VestaCP DNS panel. I deleted that and added a www CNAME record pointing to mydomain.tld. And suddenly my www.mydomain.tld stopped resolving. I also tried adding a test A record but I couldn't ping `test.mydomain.tld'.
So, how does hosting panel's DNS work? Each time I add a new website (be it a sub domain or a new domain itself) VestaCP creates certain DNS records. Are these DNS records supposed to override the ones in domain registrar's DNS panel or vice versa? What are DNS records in VestaCP DNS are there for?
When you have your hosting and domain in one single server or with one provider, your domain DNS will be with your domain itself. You just need to point the A record to hosting IP. Your Nameservers will be the default.
If you have your domain with one hosting provider and domain with other then you need to change your domain Nameservers to hosting nameservers. Then your DNS will migrate to your hosting account. The changes you may do in your domain panel will not affect. You can change your DNS settings from your hosting account only.
Hope it helps.
I have bought a domain from OVH and I want to transfert it to my azure subscription.
I Have unlocked the domain in OVH and got my Auth/Info code.
But when I try to buy the unprotected domain on azure, it doesn't appear in the select list.
The domain is a .net domain.
So, do you know how to transfert a, unprotected .net domain from ovh to azure ?
You don't transfer as such, the process is pointing the domain at your specific service. If you are pointing your domain at an Azure App Service then you need to make some DNS changes on your domain.
For Web Apps, the process is at follows:
In your browser, open the Azure Portal.
Click the Browse option on the left side of the page.
Click the Web Apps blade.
Click the name of your web app.
In the Essentials page, click All settings.
Click Custom domains and SSL.
In the Custom domains and SSL blade, click Bring External Domains. The IP address is located at the bottom of this part.
Then you can create an A record in DNS for your domain pointing to the IP you got from the above steps and a CNAME pointing to yoursite.azurewebsites.net.
For A records, you will need to create a awverify record in DNS, details on how to do this are in the documentation.
To transfer your domain from XYZ domain register, for example https://www.hover.com/, go to Azure Portal and use the App Service Domain service, which is currently in Preview state.
So I have a reserved instance on windows azure websites preview. I want to point my domain at it directly, not just the www.mydomain.com CNAME record which is mostly what i've seen people recommend. I have the CNAME on the www working just fine. But when you go to "mydomain.com" instead of "www.mydomain.com" it doesn't hit my azure website.
Is there any way to get the DNS "A" record to point at the azure website? I cannot find anywhere that will give me an IP address to do so.
It is now supported in Windows Azure. If you use a reserved instance, then it may be configured via the Manage Domains button on the bottom of the control panel.
To the best of my knowledge, no, you can't get a static IP address for Windows Azure Web Sites, so you can't set up an A record. The standard practice is to have your apex domain (example.com) redirect to the www subdomain (www.example.com), where you already have a CNAME set up.
