I have VM for development in Azure w/ azure provided static public IP address. DNS name label for public IP is lets say "aaa". It is assigned to VM and a web site hosted in this VM is accessible as http:\aaa.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com w/o any issues.
However, I need a second and third web site, which again will be hosted in same VM and needs to be accessible as http:\bbb.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com and http:\ccc.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com
All are configured to listen on port 80 on the ISS of VM.
In summary how can make aaa, bbb and ccc to point to same public IP address in Azure?
To configure DNS azure to multiple sites in VM. you can make Azure support customers to map multiple domain names to one VM.
Before trying to map multiple domain names to one Azure VM, try to create company1.yourdomaihn.com as CNAME
Try to point the CNAME to the DNS Domain Label of your public ip
log in to your account at your domain name
In my account -> click domain ->advanced technical setting ->click edit domain aliases record -> enter the name/ host/alias from CNAME
In second field -> enter value / answer /destination from the CName -> continue -> create
you can add multiple domain names to one public IP address
You can check some document Host Multiple Sites from ONE Azure IIS Server (microsoft.com)

I want to bind my custom domain to my Azure VM.
The DNS name of my networking is, for example, xxx.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com (here I use xxx to replace my real DNS name label)
I have followed the answer from this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62185398
Azure VM has a default FQDN that you only could change the DNS label. If you want to add your own custom domain for that Azure VM, you could add a CNAME type DNS record like somename.my.domain.com CNAME myvmname.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com or A type record like somename.my.domain.com A your Azure VM public IP address in your DNS domain my.domain.com provider.
But when I click my custom domain, it directs me to the following weblink. This is the same link when I click my public IP from AZURE. How can I make my custom domain directs to my xxx.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com?
Thanks for your help.
To allow the website on your Azure VM to be accessed with a custom domain, you can add A or CNAME records in your DNS provider to map the public IP address or FQDN of Azure VM.
For example, you want to access www.contoso.com, you can add CNAME record www in the contoso.com zone.
www CNAME xxx.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com
It usually takes a few hours to wait for DNS propagation worldwide. You can verify it via this website https://www.whatsmydns.net/.
Let me know if you have any concerns.
I'm setting up my website on Azure service. My DNS zone is 'xxx.io' (for example). I can create address such as 'main.xxx.io' or 'web.xxx.io' using Alias record sets and they work well. But I can't access the website directly using 'xxx.io' as address. How do I achieve this?
PS: my colleague says it used to work but now it doesn't, and he doesn't know how either.
you can create a A record called # with the value being IP address of your website. you cant have CNAME for # (root domain). Well you can, but its against the rules (afaik).
If your website is hosting on Azure service like virtual machines. You could just add an A record named # to point to the public IP address of Azure VM.
If your website is hosting on Azure web app service, you have to add an A and TXT type records in the DNS zone for using root domain. The app service plan(non-ASE) is multiple-tenant, you have to use TXT record to validate which website will be using the domain hostname.
The TXT record named #, the value is mywebapp.azurewebsites.net; The A record named #, the value is your website public IP.

I am trying to figure out how to link my *.cloudapp.azure.com VM's DNS info to a GoDaddy subdomain off my company's site. I am not able to wrap my head around the directions on Azure.
The second part is we have a purchased wildcard SSL cert for our main domain on GoDaddy that we need to install. I can see you can purchase certs from Azure, however we have our own.
Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide in this matter.
You can use CNames to link Azure domains to your existing domain. Just créate a CName that point to your Azure DNS Name. Example:
you need vm.company.com to point to your vm called myvm in Azure.
créate CNAME vm that point to myvm.location.cloudapp.azure.com
As for the cert, copy it to the vm and import like you normally would.
A DNS zone is used to host the DNS records for a particular domain. To start hosting your domain in Azure DNS, you need to create a DNS zone for that domain name. Each DNS record for your domain is then created inside this DNS zone. Finally, to publish your DNS zone to the Internet, you need to configure the name servers for the domain.
Each of these steps is described in the following steps:
Step1: First create the Azure Virtual Machines.
Step2: To get DNS addresses, you need create DNS zones with your domain name.
Go to Azure Portal => New => search DNS zones => Create DNS zones
Name= azurewala.com, Subscription, Resource Group, and Location
Step3: Once Azure DNS zones created you can see four Name Servers.
Step4: Go to GoDaddy control panel and click on the DNS.
Step5: Change the Nameservers by choose your new nameserver type as: Custom
Note: Copy and paste the Name Servers from Azure DNS to GoDaddy
And make sure you have to remove the extra dot before you save.
Step6: Open Created DNS Zones and add a record set
Name: www
Type: A
TTL: 1 Hours
IP ADDRESS: 52.176.102.178
Note: Give IP Address of the VM.

Is there a way to point an Azure NIC to the records one created in an Azure DNS zone?
At present Azure DNS doesn't support private DNS zones, i.e. those only available to your vnet. Also, the DNS servers specified in the "Add DNS server" box needs to be a recursive resolver, Azure DNS is an Authoritative DNS service, i.e. it will only serve answers for the zones it hosts.
We can't add Azure DNS zone to NIC custom DNS. The custom DNS required IP address, we can add the DNS server IP address to it.
For example, we can add 8.8.8.8 to it, also we can add local DNS server IP address to it(need VPN). Or create a Azure windows VM and install DNS role on it, and add this VM ip address to it.
If you want to use Azure DNS zone to manage your records, we can map your own domain name to DNS zone, and add name servers to your domain name(add this by domain name registrar manage webpage).
The following image shows an example DNS query about Azure DNS zone:
If you want to add record to DNS zone, and you want to map your 3rd party domain name map to Azure DNS zone, we can follow those steps in that answer.
Note:
Keep in mind Azure DNS is not the domain registrar, we should buy domain name from domain registrar(like godaddy, register.com).
Update:
If you just want to use domain name in your virtual network, there is no need to buy a domain, we can use AAD DS in our virtual network. Or we can deploy a VM and install DC on it, work as on-prem.
By the way, in the same virtual network, we can ping VM's name by default.
i created a resource group and multiple web apps under it. now trying to map custom domains to those apps but the ip address is the same for both the apps. i referred to this article but to setup A record I need a static ip before mapping the domains.
To run 2 websites as described by the OP
a.azurewebsites.net and
b.azurewebsites.net,
Both have the same IP address X.X.X.X (reason yet to be explained adequately).
I have a wild card domain *.domain.com and want the
*.domain.com traffic to go to a.azurewebsites.net
api.domain.com to go to my b.azurewebsites.net
Traffic is working with the following configurations:
DNS HOST:
A, domain.com -> X.X.X.X
CNAME *.domain.com -> a.azurewebsites.net
CNAME api.domain.com -> b.azurewebsites.net
AZURE PORTAL
Open webapp a.azurewebsites, Custom Domains, Hostnames assigned ot site:
domain.com
*.domain.com
a.azurewebsites.net
Open webapp b.azurewebsites, Custom Domains, Hostnames assigned ot site:
api.domain.com
a.azurewebsites.net
Web Apps on Azure often share IP addresses. This doesn't matter. You can map the custom domain as you would normally. The server will know which app you are accessing based on the Host header sent by browsers.
IP addresses may be same for all apps when all apps are hosted in same server.You have to create an A record pointing to the apps IP address and also a TXT record that points to the azure app domain name (yourapp.azurewebsites.net).This TXT record is different from one app to another.
Azure document says...
To use an A record to map to your Azure app's IP address, you actually
need to create both an A record and a TXT record. The A record is for
the DNS resolution itself, and the TXT record is for Azure to verify
that you own the custom domain name.
