I try like this :
I have input my custom domain and click validate. It appears like a picture. I was confused what should I do next. There is no verify button
If I check on docs https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/add-custom-domain, there exist verify button
How can I solve this problem?
The issue will occur if you haven't added a CNAME record pointing to your website(sitecore-xxxxx-sm.azurewebsites.net).
If you bought the domain from azure, you can follow the steps below.
1.Click the domain name under App Service Domains part. You will be redirected to the management page.
2.Click 'Manage DNS records'
3.click 'Record set' to add a CNAME record.
If you bought the domain from other platform, you need to go to their domain management page to configure this, the steps are similar.

Background
I have two websites:
- web1.azurewebsites.net
- web2.azurewebsites.net
I have added a traffic manager called webtm.trafficmanager.net.
web1.azurewebsites.net is configured with a custom domain web.example.com. I've also added a wildcard SSL certificate to it (i.e., *.example.com). If I request web.example.com it serves the website without any issues.
Requirement
I need to setup Traffic Manager on top of these two sites. So, if web1.azurewebsites.net is down/offline, then Traffic Manager can switch to web2.azurewebsites.net automatically.
Implementation question
I've read these SO answers (SO 1, SO 2) and this docs article, however, I have some doubts. I would really appreciate if someone can confirm my understanding outlined below, please?
Step 1: I understand that I'll have to update DNS records to something like: web.example.com. 60 IN CNAME webtm.trafficmanager.net.. Remove other DNS/CNAME records that point web.example.com to web1.azurewebsites.net.
Step 2: I'll need to remove the current custom domain mapping from web1.azurewebsites.net and then re-add it. Set custom domain to web.example.com and the CNAME configuration will show the traffic manager endpoint. No DNS changes required in this step?
Step 3: Add a custom domain to web2.azurewebsites.net set the custom domain to web.example.com and the CNAME configuration will show the traffic manager endpoint. No DNS changes required in this step?
Step 4: No changes to the SSL certificate added to web1.azurewebsites.net.
Step 5: Add the SSL certificate to web2.azurewebsites.net.
Now, accessing https://web.example.com should hit the traffic manager. It will see that web1.azurewebsites.net is online, so it will direct users to that. If web1.azurewebsites.net goes down, it will auto redirect users to web2.azurewebsites.net.
Thanks!
Your steps are mostly correct. What you want to do is to follow this document---Configure a custom domain name in Azure App Service with Traffic Manager integration
In step 3 and step 4, the traffic manager domain name will show under CNAME configuration. Select it and click Add custom domain. No other steps are required.
If a record is already in use and you need to preemptively bind your
apps to it, you can create an additional CNAME record. For example, to
preemptively bind www.contoso.com to your app, create a CNAME record
from awverify.www to contoso.trafficmanager.net. You can then add
www.contoso.com to your app without the need to change the www
CNAME record. For more information, see Migrate an active DNS name to
Azure App Service.
You also could see the full steps in this blog. In this blog, it uses a second web app in a different subscription, so it selects an external endpoint for that. If your first web app and your Traffic Manager instance are in the same subscription, use an Azure Endpoint, as you would normally, and choose the web app in that subscription.
Let me know if you face any questions.
I refer follwing link :-
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/web-sites-custom-domain-name#a
but When I am going to create custom domain it show following error.
No CNAME were found. Please add a CNAME record pointing to dev-demo.azurewebsites.net.
Please help me
Thanks.
According to the error message, what you need to do is set up a CNAME record to pointing to your Azure app's default domain for your domain registered at your domain registrar's own management tool (e.g. Azure DNS, GoDaddy, etc.).
If you registered your domain name with GoDaddy, please follow the steps blow.
Log in to your GoDaddy account.
Click on your account icon, then navigate to Manage My Domains.
Select the domain you want to manage, under the Action section, click on the Manage DNS button:
At the Records section, click Add and select CNAME from the drop-down list.
Complete the fields, then click Save button.
Now, go back to the Azure portal, and validate your hostname again.
I have bought a domain from OVH and I want to transfert it to my azure subscription.
I Have unlocked the domain in OVH and got my Auth/Info code.
But when I try to buy the unprotected domain on azure, it doesn't appear in the select list.
The domain is a .net domain.
So, do you know how to transfert a, unprotected .net domain from ovh to azure ?
You don't transfer as such, the process is pointing the domain at your specific service. If you are pointing your domain at an Azure App Service then you need to make some DNS changes on your domain.
For Web Apps, the process is at follows:
In your browser, open the Azure Portal.
Click the Browse option on the left side of the page.
Click the Web Apps blade.
Click the name of your web app.
In the Essentials page, click All settings.
Click Custom domains and SSL.
In the Custom domains and SSL blade, click Bring External Domains. The IP address is located at the bottom of this part.
Then you can create an A record in DNS for your domain pointing to the IP you got from the above steps and a CNAME pointing to yoursite.azurewebsites.net.
For A records, you will need to create a awverify record in DNS, details on how to do this are in the documentation.
To transfer your domain from XYZ domain register, for example https://www.hover.com/, go to Azure Portal and use the App Service Domain service, which is currently in Preview state.
In the past I have been able to just change the nameservers, wait a short while and then create an addon domain on my hosting.
However this doesnt appear to be how Azure works. I keep reading I have to create a CNAME. 1and1 only allows CNAME's on subdomains. I have done this and I have xxx.mysite.org successfully pointed at mysite.azurewebsites.net.
Without using a HTTP redirect can I get mysite.org pointing at mysite.azurewebsites.net?
Thanks!
After days trying to tackle this and reading endless articles online, I finally found the solution. I found numerous articles on mapping and configuring custom domains with azure including getting Error 404 - Website not found after configuring azure (which I also faced) but lacked the detailed configuration with 1and1 which was the main issue.
Some of the top-level articles I've been through I've listed below.

Solution
1and1 Domain Configuration
Go to 1and1 control panel > Domains > Edit DNS Settings.
In Edit DNS Settings, the Name Server Settings should remain 1 & 1 name server.
In A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, select 'Other IP Address' and enter the IP which is assigned to you azure web app, you can find this through accessing your web app and going to 'Custom Domains'.
Add a TXT record with the value being yourappname.azurewebsites.net and click save.
Create a sub domain in 1and1 portal called awverify.mydomain.extension (where extension is your domain extension .i.e .com/.net/.co.uk), click Save
After you create your sub domain, go back to the domain section and next to your domain name click on 'Manage Sub Domain (for that domain)'
Expand the Sub Domain you created and click on 'Edit DNS Settings'.
In the 'Edit DNS Settings' on the A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, select 'Other IP Address' and insert the same app IP Address in the IPv4 text box and click Save.
Go back to your Main 'Manage Domain' section in 1and1 and repeat steps 5, 6, 7 and 8 only this time, your sub domain should be www.yourdomain.yourextension and in step 8 the additional configuration is that you add a TXT record, the value of your TXT record should be yourappname.azurewebsites.net.
After you have finished with the 1and1 configuration, it is strongly advised to wait at least between 12-48 hours to allow the propagation to complete before trying to validate your app in azure, in some cases this might work after a couple of hours.
Then configure Azure to recognise your domain.
Azure Web App Configuration
Go to your app > Custom Domain > Add Hostname
In hostname text box, type yourdomain.yourextension and click validate, on successful validation click 'Add Hostname'
Repeat step 2 to add www.yourdomain.yourextension.
Hope this helps.
You don't have to use a CNAME to use a custom domain with your Azure website. You can use an A record instead.
When you go to "Manage custom domains" in the Azure portal for your site, at the bottom of the window (underneath the CNAME instructions and list of domains) is the IP address to use to configure the A record.
You can use this to configure the DNS for your bare domain, to point it to Azure.
This is how I did it.
In your 1and1 account create a subdomain for your domain awverify.yourdomain.com
Go to DNS settings of this subdomain and under the A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, there will be radiobox for the CNAME, select this option and type in awverify.yourdomain.azurewebsites.net (this could be found in the Bring External Domains window in your azure portal)
When you save your changes here, it might notify you an error, just wait for a few seconds or minutes then click save button again to save your changes.
After successfully saving the subdomain DNS settings, go to the DNS settings of your domain, now under A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, select Other IP Address and in the IPv4 Address text field, type in the IP address you will see under Bring External Domains in your Azure portal. Save your changes.
In your Azure portal, under Bring External Domains, type in your 1and1 domain, wait for to verify, you should see a green check mark at the right side of the text box.
In the next several months we will be going live with a web app ('MyApp') that is being hosted on Azure. We have purchased the MyApp.com domain and our Azure domain name is MyApp.azurewebsites.net.
We do not want our users to ever see the azure domain name in any form. We want them to see www.MyApp.com or www.MyApp.com/Sales/ViewSale etc.
I think I know how to map www.MyApp.com to MyApp.azurewebsites.net based on this article. We won't be able to set this up for a while, so I'd like to know what the user will see in their browser URL when they go to www.MyApp.com. Will they see www.MyApp.com or MyApp.azurewebsites.net? And then what will they see as they navigate various pages in the app?
Your azure website needs to be at least at the 'shared' level. This is the first tier of 'paid' azure website hosting. You do this under website > scale.
app service plan pricing tier = shared.
then you would choose 'configure' and look for 'domains' and add your www.myapp.com domain.
Then you head out to your DNS manager and add a CNAME record that directs traffic from www.myapp.com to myapp.azurewebsites.com, OR you can lookup up the Virtual (public) IP of your azure website and update the A record in your DNS manager.
Either route, your visitors will see www.myapp.com/mypage, www.myapp.com/mypage2, etc.
Once you have the proper hosting level (the control panel will tell you, look for custom domains) and configuration, they can access it as www.myapp.com. You may need to provide your own SSL cert in order to configure it as well.
When it comes time to SSL, check out this post (Azure SSL Certificate) that I made regarding uploading of SSL certs in the control panel. It will save you a headache.
The article you linked appears to have solid information based upon my recent experiences. One thing to note: It has screen shots from the old configuration panel, so some things may look different in the new one.
I haven't found a way to hide the myapp.azurewebsites.com method to access a page, other than maybe doing a redirect inside your code. However, until you have your DNS setup it might be nice to see things working under that domain to start.
