I currently have a domain registered at Ionos with a web hosting package (email, .net hosting).
I plan to move the hosting to Azure App Service. I would like to continue using the email from Ionos and to continue to handle the domain from Ionos. So I only want my domain to target my Azure App Service instead of the Ionos hosting.
In my Azure App Servce, I added my custom domain by adding the following lines in my DNS (managed in Ionos) :
Name, Type, Value
www, CNAM, myapp.azurewebsite.com
asuid.www, TXT, my verification id
It looks like this is the only thing to configure. However, my Azure app is still not in used. I tried to stop my App Service, the website is still responding. I tried to remove the folder on my Ionos hosting folder and it stop working. So it looks like the DNS of my website still target Ionos host instead of Azure App Service.
Am I missing something?
Thank you very much for your help! :)

The issue was from the Ionos portail to configure the DNS.
In my case I had to do the following :
Redirect my naked domain to the www subdomain through the Ionos redirection feature
Crete the new DNS entry (CNAME and TXT) to link my www subdmain to my new host
Regenerate a new SSL certificate (due to an error on Ionos side)
The Ionos portal is often not up to date, and sometimes it just displays wrong information.

I've a static Blazor website hosted on azure and I've set custom domain for it. The issue is custom domain https://www.raohammas.site/ is working while root domain https://raohammas.site/ doesn't work. Why? Though, I've added required DNS records for my domain.

I have an Azure hosted React website running on a Web App Service. Let's call it mywebsite.azurewebsites.net
I have now purchased the domain name through Google Domains. Let's call it www.mywebsite.com.
The redirect is working fine. I type in www.mywebsite.com and I can see my website. However in the URL bar I can still see the address mywebsite.azurewebsites.net. I clearly want to see my new domain name. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this is?
You need to map an existing custom DNS name to Azure App Service.

I have an APP that was awarded the gorunning.pt domain. It happens that when I call the gorunning.pt domain without the www everything works, when I add the www http://www.gorunning.pt/ I receive the page 404 application not found.
I've already set the DNS CNAME for the application of IP , also tried the url gorunning.azurewebsites.net defined by Azure , created a type A registration.
This is expected. Your DNS configuration is correct. However the Azure Web App's front-end doesn't recognize the www sub-domain as it is not mapped in the portal.
You will also have to map the www.gorunning.pt to your web app gorunning.azurewebsites.net in the Azure Portal. :)
From the dig web interface, it seems the domain has mapped to the Azure web app. However it shows 404 not found. As I know your custom domain maps to an empty web site, so the easiest way is deleting your existed web site then custom domain to the new web site again. If you still encounter the same issue, please submit a ticket via the following screenshot.
Unfortunately I deleted my WebApp, A domain which was purchased through azure portal by following these steps
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/custom-dns-web-site-buydomains-web-app/
Was attached with this webapp. Now that I don't have any access to domain's DNS, If I visit my domain it says
This page is parked free, courtesy of Azure
How I can get my domain back to me.
You haven't lost your domain, so there's no getting it back to you. The issue is that you deleted your web app, so Azure is providing a default landing page for your now-unused domain name.
If you create a new web app, and want to assign your domain name to it, you should be able to in the Custom Domains and SSL blade for that web app's configuration.
For example, here's the settings for one of my web apps. I'd see my purchased domain names under Managed Domains.
I published my app on Azure App Service.
I don't want to buy domain for now.
I just want to use my local Host file to connect to my Azure App with the futur domain I will buy.
I added an entry in host file:
ip.ip.ip.ip mywebsite.com
But how could I configure my Azure App?
This will not work. Azure App Services work on the basis of DNS Names. By adding the above entry in the host file, the record will reach the App Services Front-End Servers. However, they will not be able to map the domain name to a web app and this will result in a 404 error.
You will have to map a domain name to your Azure Web App in order to get this working. This implies that you will need to own a domain name, this in turn implies that you need to buy a domain name. :-)
If you want to use an IP address, you can use a cloud service web worker role (probably with a reserved IP, if you don't want a dynamic IP) instead of an Azure web app.
