Im trying to assign my domain name to my azure virtual machine, been reading https://learn.microsoft.com/en-in/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-reserved-public-ip but I dont have a static IP. So I should be using CNAME?
At my domain name register I have added:
DNS ENTRY TYPE PRIORITY TTL DESTINATION/TARGET
www CNAME mydomain.ukwest.cloudapp.azure.com
I want it to work as mydomain.com (without www) - but not resolving. Thanks
First of all you can change you public IP to a static one without disruption your VM at all (so it continues to opérate). That solves one part of the problem.
The other way of doing this is exactly what you specified. CName link your Azure DNS to your real dns.

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 created VM behide Azure Load Balancer. i want to use custom domain to Load Balance Public IP. for example i want to access url like 'xx.mvg.com' instead Load Balance Public IP from internet. how i can do it?
i tried to did followed reference link 'https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-custom-domain' but still not working.
Please recommend how to register my domain name i wish, i want map my domain name to my application running on VM behide Azure Load Balancer.
and Azure have service about internet domain registrar?
about your last question - no, Azure have only Azure DNS, which is not a domain registrar, but a DNS as a service.
Easiest way to achieve what you want - assign a dns name to a public ip (called dns label here) and create a CNAME record in your DNS for that DNS name. or just straight up create a A record in your DNS and point it to your public ip.
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 have an application that is installed on a virtual machine in Azure. It is accessible with the public ip and the dns name offered by Azure.
I have a domain name with ssl in namecheap. I want to point the dns name from Azure to it or another provider.
To illustrate even more:
My app is accessible to the outside world using: x.x.x.x/app/login
or with: mydnsname.azure.com/app/login
What I want is: anotherdomain.com/app/login
I don't want to change my records inside namecheap, i.e. changing CNAME record to point to my dns and A record to the public ip of my vm.
I know this method but in my situation it doesn't work.
A domain owner has control over what mmappings can be made.
Microsoft owns the Address space of the VM, and the *.azure.com namespace. When you provision a VM you are allowed a name in their namespace mydnsname.azure.com
if you own example.com you can then map something.example.com in the same way that Microsoft do. However since you are not the owner of Azure.com you have no ability to map anything other than what the owners of that domain have given you. You have no ability whatsoever to map anything against the azure.com namespace, with the sole exception of the name that you are provided for your VM.
I have searched the net and cannot find an answer to this question. I have created a .ga domain with freenom.com.
I created two dns records in freenom.com. The A record maps to the public ip of the virtual machine and the cname record maps to the azure domain name - xxxxx.eastasia.cloudapp.azure.com. I set the ttl in both records to be 3600.
I give some hours for the dns records to propagate and try to do an nslookup on my .ga domain but it does not seem to exist. I try pinging, browsing the url but it seems that my domain does not exist.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
For VM, you need to specify it on the Cloud Service level - did you do everything according to the official guidance?
If you use non-classic VM (ARM), then the situation is a little more complicated - you may go with that approach or with the Azure DNS service.
Your VM Name looks like : "name.cloudapp.azure.com". By default public IP address is created not static address that means you can't use DNS record on it.
If you want to use different domain name like "xxxxtest.com" then you have 2 options:
Use 'CNAME' DNS record
Use reserved IP record on Azure and 'A' DNS record
