Zoho Mail with Azure DNS Zone

Question

I have created a DNS Zone in Azure. There was a pop up message mentioning GoDaddy (for some odd reason)

Now I have deployed my DNS Zone and I went to Zoho mail to verify my domain ownership.

Is been more than 24 hours and i have deployed TXT and CNAME records to no avail. Is not working.

I set the Time to live TTL to just few minutes, i wait and still nothing.

from Zoho mail i get

The DNS records may take a while (depending on the TTL) to get propagated and reflect in your domain. Hence you may need to wait for a while, after you have added the records and try again. You can also verify if the records have propagated in this Link (https://zohomail.tools/#domainDetails/)

What could be happening?
should i wait longer than 48 hours to try again?
Does azure use GoDaddy in the background?

Please help

Hi @Anonymous ,

Unfortunately, Azure DNS doesn't support purchasing of domain names as of now, only host it.

Refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-zones-records
You have to purchase a domain from a Registrar. Once you have purchased a domain from a Registrar, you need to delegate it to Azure to maintain the domain

The exception is for App Services, in which you will be able to purchase a custom domain and that too will use GoDaddy as Registrar.
Refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/manage-custom-dns-buy-domain

Once you have purchased a domain,
To delegate a domain to Azure DNS,

In the registrar's DNS management page, edit the NS records and replace the NS records with the Azure DNS name servers.

When you delegate a domain to Azure DNS, you must use the name servers that Azure DNS provides. Use all four name servers, regardless of the name of your domain. Domain delegation doesn't require a name server to use the same top-level domain as your domain.

Reference : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-delegate-domain-azure-dns

To Verify the domain delegation,
You can run nslookup -type=SOA latintech.org
