In this video, I’m walking you through a step-by-step demo where I show you how to link a custom domain purchased from Squarespace to an Azure Public DNS Zone and then point it to an Azure Virtual Machine using DNS records like NS and A record. This is a practical, hands-on guide based on my real-world cloud setup, and by the end of the video, you’ll be able to host any custom domain on Azure with full DNS control! 🔧 What I’ve Covered in This Demo: • ✅ Introduction to Azure Public DNS Zone ◦ What is a DNS Zone in Azure? ◦ Why we need it when working with custom domains ◦ Benefits of using Azure DNS over third-party DNS providers • 🌐 Domain Purchase Source: Squarespace ◦ Overview of domain management in Squarespace ◦ Where to find DNS settings in Squarespace admin panel • 🔁 Creating a Public DNS Zone in Azure ◦ Step-by-step creation of a public DNS zone in Azure Portal ◦ Choosing the correct DNS zone name to match your domain • 📦 NS Record Configuration ◦ How to locate NS (Name Server) records in Azure DNS Zone ◦ Copying Azure’s NS records and pasting them into Squarespace DNS settings ◦ Explaining DNS propagation and what to expect • 💻 Creating an A Record in Azure ◦ Fetching the public IP address of your Azure Virtual Machine ◦ Creating an “A” record in the DNS zone to point your domain to the VM ◦ Validation using nslookup and browser access • 🧪 Testing the Setup Live ◦ Opening the domain in a browser to verify successful mapping ◦ Common troubleshooting tips if it doesn’t work immediately • 🚀 Pro Tips Throughout the Video ◦ Why NS record changes can take time to propagate ◦ How to use dig and nslookup to troubleshoot DNS resolution ◦ The importance of TTL (Time-To-Live) in DNS settings 💡 Real-World Use Cases Discussed: • Hosting a personal website or portfolio on an Azure VM • Moving DNS management from Squarespace to Azure for more control • Learning DNS management as part of a cloud or DevOps project
