I am having trouble figuring out how to transfer Azure DNS to another provider. All web searches show how to migrate to Azure but not transferring out.
In Azure portal Open your Domain services
Then go to Advanced Management Portal
Now open your Domain and unlock yur domain first
Then go to domain settings and select Remove Domain by Proxy
Now if you scroll down a bit you will find remove domain protection
Also there you will find an option of transfer domain away from Azure
Then you will be generated with EPP code that need to be presented at new provider
After intiating transfer within 24 hours you need to open Advanced Management portal again and select Transfer option
Finally your Domain will be transferred to different provider.

ok so I bought a custom domain within azure portal for my website. but now that my msdn subscription is over in azure I want to move my website to some other service or a cheaper solution as it is just a static website to show my video player app and I dont wanna purchase expensive subscriptions for it.
As I am searching for a solution regarding moving my website to another new azure account or outside azure to somewhere else I am trying to find where can I access my domain ownership outside azure portal? Because I assume on the backend azure must be using some service to purchase the domain right? as per portal renewal to my domain is still pending till next year so I technically still own that domain and I wanna keep my website on it live, just dont wanna pay for expensive azure subscription.
it is just a static website with ssl certification service applied on it for https.
If you already have bought custom domain using Azure portal then you may want to know that App Service Domains use GoDaddy for domain registration and Azure DNS to host the domains. In addition to the yearly domain registration fee, usage charges for Azure DNS apply.
For information, see Azure DNS Pricing.
In your case you can transfer away your domain and Transferring of domain out of Azure (not a registrar) to another registrar is supported and you may currently do so via API and PowerShell.
You will need to get an authorization code which you can take to the registrar of choice to proceed with transferring out of your domain.
You can use the transfer out API:
PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION-ID>/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE-GROUP-NAME>/providers/Microsoft.DomainRegistration/domains/<DOMAIN-NAME>/transferout?api-version=2021-02-01
You may be able to run this API on Azure Resource Explorer.
Check this blog for more details on this.

I have a web app that I am hosting on Azure and would like to know how I can make that site accessable by only a security group/distribution list within Azure.
Now, the url is accessable by anyone even outside of my tenant which I am trying to avoid - What route would I go down to restrict it down to groups? I can't do it by users because there are 1,000+ users.
It appears like you can only restrict an Azure Web App access via IP addresses or virtual networks. Below is a quick summary. However, I have attached a link to the MS Docs that explains in more detail how to implement adding these restrictions.
Go to your service in the Azure Portal > Networking > IP Restrictions
Add Rule
Input IP/subnet mask
Note: After you add a rule, it will create an implicit deny by default for anything requests not matching the rules.
This link also may be helpful if you want to edit the web.config instead of using the Azure Portal.
I have a multi-site application running on Azure Websites. When a user signs up, they pick a name for their application and they end up with "appname.coolapplication.com". Everything so far is working great within our own domain.
Our application needs to allow users to enter their own custom domain. For example, they want to view their application from "elsewhere.com" rather than "appname.coolapplication.com". How do I go about configuring Azure Websites to allow me to do this?
You don't. Per these instructions you instruct the customer to enter a CNAME record on their domain registrar for the Azure domain, and then it begins to work.
EDIT:
The CNAME only "just works" for Azure Cloud Apps. For Azure Websites, it turns out you must add the domain in the portal as well. I'd thus recommend switching your Azure Websites to Azure Cloud Apps to simplify the issue.
You can use the powershell api to add custom hostnames.
See this question for details: Add many domains to an azure web site
I recently activated Azure services that came with my MSDN subscription. I created a website with it and wanted to assign a custom domain for the website. Unfortunately, the "Manage Domains" option in the website dashboard is grayed out.
You can't add a custom domain to a free Azure website. You have to upgrade (SCALE tab on the portal) to Shared, Basic or Standard web hosting plan mode to add a custom domain.
I've looked at all related posts in MSDN and stack overflow but still having difficulty finding a solution.
I am looking to map a domain and all sub-domains to my windows azure website. It is a reserved website instance. I am using Amazon Route 53 DNS manager and have mapped a wildcard CNAME to my azure sub domain, and created a redirect on the naked domain to the www. subdomain.
When I navigate to the naked root, the redirect kicks in and I'm brought to www..com, where I receive a 404 error from azure.
I know the wildcard CNAME is working. I've verified using MXToolbox. If I go to "Manage Domains" in the Azure web UI admin system, I can manually add "www..com" or any other subdomain (e.g. "helloworld..com"). Azure verifies it fine and after saving, I can pull up the website fine by navigating to that subdomain and my azure website loads.
Is there any way to add wild card subdomains without having to verify each one manually through the azure ui interface? My application is a SaaS that relies on custom user sub-domains to serve up their branded website and gain access to their account so I need any and all subdomains to map to my application.
Currently, wildcard domains are not supported as far as I know. At least on Windows Azure Web Sites. They are on the roadmap, but currently you'll have to rely on adding every domain manually.
See wildcard comment on "Configuring a custom domain name for a Windows Azure web site".
Another feature not yet available on Azure Web Sites is SSL using a vanity (your own) domain name. If you want full control of your site(s) you can use Azure Cloud Services instead of Web Sites. With Cloud Services you can provision certificates, domain names, and run multiple sites on the same instances using host header routing.
Anything you can do with IIS Management you can do with a cloud service.
You're a little closer to the metal compared to Azure Web Sites (but not as close as with a VM) and you get load balancing, scaling, caching, and other goodness. Visual Studio 2010/2012 has excellent deployment tooling. You will need to study up on Azure deployment projects from VS, bit it's not bad.
