In the Name field enter your domain name with a period at the end. In the Domains section, click on the Advanced DNS Zone Editor icon. In your HostGator hosting account we will create a TXT record to verify to Microsoft that you control the domain name. You will need this information for the next step. From the table on the Verify Domain page, record the Destination or Points to Address information. If the domain is already there, click on Pending Verification next to the domain you want to verify. Follow the directions on the screen to add a domain to Microsoft 365 (if you haven't already). In Microsoft 365, in the header, click on Admin. Step 1: Gather the Domain Informationįirst you will need to obtain some basic information so that you can create the DNS record necessary for verifying your domain. In order to use your domain with Microsoft 365, you will need to first verify your domain name, and then set up the DNS records that Microsoft specifies. In this example, the mail is routed to Microsoft and is then displayed in the Outlook Web App, but website visitors will see your site on HostGator's servers.
It is possible to use various services such as Microsoft's Outlook Web App through Microsoft 365 with your own domain name while having HostGator host your website. HostGator now offers a product called Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), which provides many services such as web-based email accounts.
