Move domain to Microsoft Azure - azure

I registered some domains in registrar A, but I am not satisfied with the quality of t's service. And I want to move my domains to Azure (not only deligating domain, but full management), other words - like I bought domains in Azure. I think, this will be more easy to manage all my resources in Azure only.
I need to write a request to my registrar A with full name of new registrar and set ids.
Is it possible to move domains to Azure?
Where I can get Azure registrar ids?

Looking at the comments here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/custom-dns-web-site-buydomains-web-app/, as of today it is not possible to move domains to Azure. What you could do is move domain to other registrar and make use of Azure DNS Service for DNS hosting of your domains in Azure.

Azure DNS for country Domain

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.

Azure DNS CNAME records

I am trying to configure Auth0 custom domains with my azure web application. It is asking for a CNAME Record to be set.
I set this up in azure with a provided dns name, and set up the values as such:
but the verify button still does not work. i heard you may need to wait a few days for it to settle, but i waited all weekend with no luck. i saw in this post i may want to remove the NS and SOA types?
Wildcard and Naked CNAME records in Azure DNS
how can i verify this domain
As far as I know, you can not use the domain *.cloudapp.azure.com as the custom domain for your Auth0 as it is owned by Azure. You need to purchase a domain from the domain provider like Godaddy to configure your custom domain. Then you could validate that domain ownership.
You can't use Azure DNS to buy a domain name. Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. It's not necessary. You can selectly host your domain in Azure DNS.

How to change the DNS Zone nameserver in Azure?

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.

How to transfer domain to IIS in Azure with EPP Code?

I have an old website I'm trying to move to an Azure Virtual Machine (Windows 10 Server). My old service gave me an EPP Code and unlocked the domain, but after hours of research I couldn't find anything that told me how to transfer it to the server.
Domains can only be transferred amongst Domain registrars. Microsoft or you VM is not a Domain registrar so you cannot transfer to either.
You can set record on current domain registrar to point to your VM or website hosted in VM like article in comment mentions.
If you are trying to manage everything on the azure portal you can make use of Azure DNS. This will make it easier to assign domain to azure resources, just be aware there is a cost to it. You can follow this article to host you domain in Azure DNS.
Hope this helps.

Manage domain name purchased through azure

I purchased a custom domain name through Azure, and it was correctly pointing to my Web App, and it was working. I subsequently deleted and recreated the Web app, and the underlying IP has changed. In order to associate the same domain name with the replacement app, Azure requires the CNAME to be set by the DNS provider. However, Azure is the DNS provider, and I can find no way to do this. I see lots of articles discussing how to manage the domain name once it is associated with the app, but not how do to manage it the gap between creation and association, which is the gap where I need to add the CNAME.
Take a look at this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/waws/archive/2014/10/01/mapping-a-sub-domain-to-an-azure-web-site.aspx
and this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-custom-domain-name/
Edit: Also, you could do what you are asking for through Powershell: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/dns-web-sites-custom-domain/
The problem occurs because the subscription was changed from a pay-as-you-go subscription to developer benefits subscription. The purchase of the domain name is tied to the subscription with it was purchased. Creating the App under the original subscription enables the management blade.
Did this recently, using "myfunkydomain.com" and "myfunkywebapp" as examples ..
Bought the domain through Azure ("Custom domain and SSL" blade on the WebApp) which you have already done.
The new "DNS preview" service allows you to create DNS Zones and then manage the subdomain recordsets - Create a new zone (I called "myfunkydomain.com" and take note of the 4 DNS servers allocated to the zone.
Then under "Custom domain and SSL" blade of your Web App select the new domain (myfunkydomain.com) under "Managed Domains" and then click the Advanced menu button - this will take you to a seperate site where you can delegate the domain to the 4 DNS servers from step 2. This is what you are missing I think. I took note of the current DNS servers before changing them (but have had no need to change them back)
Once delegated you can create CNAME recordsets under the DNS preview Zone and point the CNAME record to the full domain of your Web App myfunkywebapp.azurewebsites.net and you are in full control of the domain from the Azure portal. There is a WebApi for managing this whole process which we use to create new tenants of our domain programatically.
