I followed most of this http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-smallbusinesses/hh335299.aspx
but I can not find anywhere to change the DNS settings. when I select my domain it will allow me to click "View DNS settings" For domain purpose I did not select use sharepoint as my external public facing site. So do i not need to worry about the A record?
To route traffic to your website after you add your domain to Office 365, do the following.
On the Admin page, in the left pane, under Management, click Domains, and then select the domain that you’d like to edit.
Click Manage DNS, click New, and then choose A (Address).
On the Add a DNS record page, type the following:
- For Host name or Alias, type @
- For IP Address, type the IP address where your website is currently hosted, for example: 172.16.140.1
Click Save.
You can also create a CNAME record to help customers find your website. On the DNS manager tab, click New, and then choose CNAME (Alias).
Note: Creating a CNAME record is optional, but we recommend it. The CNAME record helps make sure that customers can find your website whether or not they include www with your domain name. On the Add a DNS record page, type the following:
- For Host name or Alias, type www
- For Points to address, type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for your website. For example: contoso.com
Click Save.
Update your domain name server records to point to Office 365. When your domain name server records have been updated to point to Office 365, the configuration of your domain is complete. Email will be routed to Office 365, but traffic to your website address will continue to go to your current hosting provider. For more information, see Verify your domain and change name servers.
