help Microsoft Azure DNS FAQ

What uptime SLA does Microsoft Azure DNS provide?

Microsoft backs Azure DNS with a 100% availability SLA for DNS resolution, which is possible because queries are answered by a global anycast network of name servers. That SLA is a common reason enterprises pick it over self-managed BIND infrastructure.

Can I use Azure DNS for a domain even if my website isn't hosted in Azure?

Yes. Azure DNS is just authoritative name hosting — you delegate any domain to it by changing the nameserver records at your registrar. Your web and mail servers can live anywhere, including on-premises or with another cloud.

Can Azure DNS handle internal private DNS for my virtual machines?

Yes — Azure Private DNS zones let you create custom internal domains that automatically register records for VMs linked to a virtual network. It replaces the old trick of running your own DNS servers for VNet name resolution.
