Verifying Domains for Use in Microsoft Online Services
To use a custom domain in Microsoft Online Services, you need to verify your domain in the Microsoft Online Services Administration Center. The process for domain verification includes adding a CNAME record to your domain's DNS record. But navigating domain registrar Web sites can be confusing. To make verifying your domain easier, we've tracked down instructions specific to some of the more popular domain registrars.
The general process for domain verification is:
- Gather information about your domain
- Create an alias, or CNAME record, at your domain registrar
- Confirm the verification
Steps 1 and 3 are performed within the Administration Center; instructions for these steps can be found in the Verify a Domain from Any Registrar Help article.
Step 2 varies for each registrar. Following are pages with instructions for some domain registrars:
