I would like to set up our own name servers for our company - to look more professional, but also to ease future transitions to different servers. So for example:
ns1.mycompany.com
ns2.mycompany.com
I have a Google Cloud Platform account with access to the Google Cloud DNS API. My first question is... can I achieve this with Google Cloud DNS?
And if so... how/where do "point" domains to our services such as hosting and mail?
For example, I ask a client to change the name servers for client.com to ns1.mycompany.com and ns2.mycompany.com. And I have these name servers created in Google Cloud DNS. How/where do I then set the A or CNAME records to point to our host server and our mail server?
Thanks in advance.

I want to use my country domain which is mydomain.id after setting up in my azure DNS and domain provider, I still cannot validate my domain in App Service. I already double-check everything and I think my settings are already correct. Now I wonder can we use the Country domain in my azure DNS because I'm afraid if it's that the problem.
First of all, I assume you are using a public domain. As Martheen's comments mentioned that you just need to create DNS records to map your app service IP or hostname like webapp.azurewebsites.net in your DNS provider so that you can add custom domains in your App Service. This is tutorial.
Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. By hosting your domains in Azure, you can manage your DNS records by using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services. You have the option to host your records on Azure DNS.
After adding the DNS records, you can use the local tool nslookup or websites https://dnschecker.org/ to check the DNS propagation. It can take up to 72 hours to propagate worldwide, although it typically takes a few hours.
I have my Domain name through Google Domain and I have set up my website on Google Cloud. But I cannot get to my website.
I used the same DNS servers for in Google Domain/DNS/Google Named Servers and Google Cloud/Network Services/Cloud DNS Type NS.
ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com
Can you tell me if this is correct?
Thank you
I am little new to hosting and so I am confused for take step. My current situation is like below
I have one big wordpress site in site ground. Domain is from Godaddy and I am using CloudFlar. I want move this site on Google cloud Instance. So I have created Google cloud instance and have installed Cpanel/WHM. I have copied site on newly created cpanel account. Now My confusion is How I should change DNS for point my domain to Google cloud.
Domain on : Godaddy, Using CloudFlare : Yes, Current Hosting : Site
Ground, New Destination Hosting : Google Cloud, My Current Domain :
example.com
For More information I have setup host like host.example.com and NameServer as ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on Google cloud. Let me know someone can help me for required step to change DNS so I can successfully move without downtime.
Thanks a lot.
You need to update the IP address for your domain in the DNS records which are hosted either with godaddy or with cloudflare. If you are not sure, do a dig NS yourdomain.com See which dns server's are coming. and accordingly make the change.
Oke so here is the situation:
I have bought a domain from a registrar(hostnet) and my hosting is on Google Cloud.
Now i want to link the domain i bought from hostnet via cloudflare to Google Cloud.
I changed the nameservers of the registrar to use cloudflares nameservers. And then on cloudflare i changed the A records to point to my Google Cloud external IP-address.
The site works fine but on Google Pagespeed insight i see a 'delay in server response' so i'm thinking im doing something wrong. Also i haven't done anything on Google Cloud so it seems more like a redirect(slow) rather than a correct implementation. That would mean anyone could link any domain name to my ip address.. that seems off.
What would be the correct way to connect my domain from hostnet to my google cloud via cloudflares cdn.
I was wondering if I could change the DNS name on one of our azure servers from ######.cloudapp.net to mail.flyboeingva.org?
If so, how would I go about doing this?
Yes you can!
follow the tutorial Configure a custom domain name for Azure cloud service. Further more, if you are going to host e-mail server on azure, you may also want to:
Reserve an IP Address for your cloud service (your VM runs in a cloud service, don't get confused by the terms)
Register Reverse DNS record (PTR) for your cloud service / custom domain
