Unable to create the Subdomain with specific name format in Dnn9 - dns

How to create a sub site like subdomainname.domainname.com in DNN?I tried creating. It is giving DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error. Can anyone help to resolve this.

This sounds like you haven't actually configured the DNS for the subdomain.
Wherever you managed your DNS, configure a CNAME record for the subdomain, then add it to DNN as a new Site.

Cannot link custom domain to azure website

There are certain variations to this question but none answered mine.
I have a custom domain aaaskills.mydomain.com pointing to azure website.
This was done by setting CNAME to aaaskills.mydomain.com -> azure website. This is all working fine. Good.
But I want to change the subdomain to skills.mydomain.com, so i updated the existing CNAME to skills.mydomain.com -> azure website. All good.
Now, in my Azure portal i'm trying to add a new hostname for new domain but the azure doesn't recognize the CNAME updated.
Now aaaskills.mydomain.com doesn't work and skills.mydomain.com is bringing up 404 not found and it is suggesting me to update custom domain in azure website.
Am i missing something here?
Domain ownership on azure website was resolved after awverify'ing the sub domain. I added CNAME with records like below to awverify.
CNAME('awverify.subdomain.domain.com','azure website url')
Double check to see if the CNAME and A records are appropriately added in your domain registrar.
Also it take some time for the new host to be reflected in the app's Custom domains page. Try refreshing the browser,Clear the cache and test DNS resolution again.
On a Windows machine, you clear the cache with ipconfig /flushdns.
If the issue still persists, kindly do let us know for further investigation.

You need to wait until the DNS cache get updated. also check you have added a correct CNAME for the sub domain and DNS configuration for the sub domain

domain configuration not working properly

I have purchased a domain from bigrock.in and created a free hosting account in 5gbfree.com. but i couldn't find how to add my domain to it. Domain name venneers.in. please someone help me. thanks in advance.
The domain: venneers.in resolves IP address: 173.193.106.13. Looking at online DNS settings, there does not seem to be an issue with DNS configuration.
When we browse this domain it is showing blank page. You must browse site from server to check the exact error and get it fixed OR check in log files to find the exact error.

for Azure websites, do you need to keep the awverify DNS records?

I managed to get my custom subdomain name assigned to my Azure website, following this (very carefully):
link to azure custom domain name instructions
Is it necessary to keep the "awverify" DNS records after the custom domain names linkage has been established?
I deleted the awverify DNS record for the test subdomain, and was able to add another subdomain pointer to my azurewebsites test site.
Maybe I did not wait long enough. Does anyone else have any experience with this, to say one way or the other?
Not sure if I understand the issue you are running into... but the CNAME entry with the 'awverify' subdomain is used to "prove" to Azure that you own that domain when you are wiring up a custom domain name. Once that is established, you no longer need that.

CNAME redirection not working in GoDaddy

I have a domain name myapp.com with GoDaddy, and I've deployed the site to Azure, so now the app is in myapp.cloudapp.net.
I'm trying to set up a CNAME from www.myapp.com to myapp.cloudapp.net but it doesn't work after two days and I was wondering if I've done something wrong.
I've set up a CNAME record from www to myapp.cloudapp.net in my DNS Manager in GoDaddy, and a forwarding from myapp.com to www.myapp.com. I did this on Friday.
When I try to access myapp.com I get redirected to www.myapp.com, but then it says "Page not found", actually if I do a ping, it cannot resolve www.myapp.com, but it can resolve myapp.com.
Of course, if I try myapp.cloudapp.net it works perfectly.
There is still an A record in the DNS Manager, should I remove it? What may I be doing wrong?
Cheers.
Before this is moved to SuperUser, do you have a hosting account with GoDaddy? The reason I ask is because they don't handle your DNS for you unless you pay for hosting too.
This leaves you with two options
Pay for it
Get it free
I recommend trying the free option first
