How to perform third party Domain setup on Microsoft Azure?

I have set up AD Azure and since I have a domain from a third party hosting provider(re-seller) i needed to assign MX and TX values in order to verify the Domain.

Re-seller refused to manually setup the records in the domain registrar and provided a free shared hosting package for me to setup those values in the control panel which i did with no effort and successfully verified the domain name within Azure portal.

I had made all the wire up within azure portal to use the domain i had verified but when i browse y.com i get responses from the Re-seller server instead of Azure.

The only thing i had left to do is to change the NS records which the Re-Seller refused to do so - so far.

Please provide some details of how the request travels in this kind of Domain name setup and what measures should i take in order to use my domain in Azure hosted environment?

So you set up an Azure Web App with a custom domain name? You mention Azure AD in the question. You verify domains in Azure AD to get them available for usernames. That would not point to any website. – juunas
Yes my goal is to setup Azure AD, WebApp and SQL with custom domain name. I need to do a bit more research, however still i don't get it how the client server request would travel if the NS records in the registrar are pointing to the reseller instead of AzureNS records provided for setup. – Tim
You will have to change the NS records to the Azure NS servers on your Re-Seller, and then create the corresponding DNS zone in Azure portal to make dns resolved by Azure instead of the Re-Seller server. More details can be found here. – Jimmy Sun

To bind a custom domain for your Azure app, you need to do three main steps to map the custom domain to your app( more detail refer here):

And if you also want to add a custom domain for Azure AD, you can refer this document.
