I'm having an issue with setting a custom wildcard domain on an Azure Website.
The azure website is demo.azurewebsites.net
And my custom domain is tenant1.demo.azurewebsites.net
I have done following steps : --
Step A:- Login into the portal.azure.com
Step B:- Then created zone with the following steps.
In this I filled all required information and select resource group as use existing. Because I have existing resource group. And click on create button.
C) After click on create button of above image it will show following image.
D) After that I crated record set. Please refer following image. I filled all information that required.
Name = *
Type = CNAME
TTL = 1
TTL unit = Hours
Alias = my existing domain
E) after that I created custom domain.
When I am going to create custom domain it show following error.
And my custom domain is tenant1.demo.azurewebsites.net
We can’t add subdomain to azurewebsites.net, because we are not the owner of azurewebsites.net.
Step B:- Then created zone with the following steps.
Until now, Azure doesn’t provide domain register service. Azure DNS Zone is used to host the DNS records for a particular domain. Azure DNS Service will answers DNS queries for records in the zone. It works as a name server. The prerequisites to use Azure DNS Zone is that you must be the owner of the domain. Please check the following note from Azure DNS Zone official document.
You do not have to own a domain name to create a DNS zone with that domain name in Azure DNS. However, you do need to own the domain to configure the Azure DNS name servers as the correct name servers for the domain name with the domain name registrar.
After you create a DNS Zone, to let the DNS record works, you also need to delegate your domain to Azure DNS by adding name server record in your domain register portal. Though you can add DNS record for demo.azurewebsites.net in your DNS zone as you mentioned in your post. But it won’t work until you have the right to configure the name server record in your domain register portal.

I create a CNAME record in DNS ZONE (e.g: site1.example.com). And then, afdverify.site1.example.com and site1.example.com will be created.
I just want to create site1.example.com only.
• #Kyakya, from your query and the screenshot, I can understand that you are trying to create a CNAME record for the ‘site1.example.com’ URL. But when creating a CNAME DNS record in a DNS zone, you will have to mention its alias FQDN URL, i.e., that original URL which you are trying to mask or associate with by creating this CNAME record. Thus, I can understand from the screenshot that you are trying to create a CNANE record for the Azure front door URL in DNS zone in Azure.
As a result, when you create a CNAME record with a custom domain name for an already hosted URL, you need to ensure that the original hosted URL is reachable and available as the CNAME record created will only redirect the DNS requests to the original hosted URL only.
• Since, in your case, you don’t want to create a subdomain regarding ‘site1.example.com’ in your DNS zone, i.e., ‘afdverify.site1.example.com’ so in that scenario, you will have to create an ‘A’ host record for the ‘site1.example.com’ in your public DNS server where your basic custom domain ‘example.com’ is registered. Once done, then create a CNAME record for the inbuilt Azure generated FQDN of that resource in your public DNS zone in that DNS server with ‘site1.example.com’ that you want.
And if you don’t want that too, then you will have to verify your custom domain in Azure, and then create resources in Azure based on the records created in DNS zone provisioned.
I need to add an MX record into the app domain name purchased thru Azure portal.
The default form to add a record set adds the .domainname after the mx record name.
The problem is that Network solutions says the MX record name must be mx1.netsolmail.net. (So in the portal it becomes mx1.netsolmail.net.domainname.com which is not what I need)
How can I add a record set in my DNS zone for that domain that doesn't end in the domain name?
Per the answer below I changed the settings to the following
When you purchase a domain in the app service domain page, you actually have a new domain provider because App Service Domains use GoDaddy for domain registration and Azure DNS to host the domains.
If I am understanding it correctly, you would like to have an email delivered on your app domain name through Network Solutions but keep your domain through Azure. If so, you could refer to this Mailbox Setup and configuration to change/edit your MX and CNAME records in the Azure DNS zone.
Try to change the MX record to inbound.[domain name].netsolmail.net if your domain name was janesbagels.com, your Mail Server record would look like inbound.janesbagels.com.netsolmail.net. Also, you could change the other two CNAME records mail and SMTP.
For example,
I am trying to set up the routing for the Apex/root domain of my website(myrootdomain.eu) in Azure FrontDoor.
Reference :https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/front-door-how-to-onboard-apex-domain
Crated the Alias record with #.myrootdomain.eu in Azure DNS against the Azure resource as FrontDoor. A CNAME was created like this : afdverify.myrootdomain.eu
When i try adding the custom domain(myrootdomain.eu) into the frontend host of FrontDoor, it is giving the error CNAME record is not found. What additional step is required here .
Is there any setting or mapping to be done in my DNS 123domain or frontdoor for this domain : afdverify.myrootdomain.eu
What should be the mapping in domain provider (123domain in my case) for the naked domain(myrootdomain.eu) ?
Could not find any thing about that in the reference doc.
If you have hosted your domain in Azure DNS, (that is to edit the NS records and replace the NS records with the Azure DNS name servers in the registrar's DNS management page), you do not need to map in your original domain provider. It takes just a few seconds on my side to wait for the DNS taking place for the Apex/root domain in Azure Front Door.
After creating an alias record for zone apex, it creates a zone apex record pointing to your Front Door resource and also a CNAME record mapping 'afdverify' (example - afdverify.contosonews.com) to afdverify.<name>.azurefd.net.
If you have finished the above steps correctly, it usually takes some time for DNS propagation, you could check it via whatsmydns or viewdns. As the comment said, you can check if the CNAME is effective or not using nslookup or google dig tool.
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.

I have a domainname and webapp currently which I need to do a set up for the domain to point to my webapp server.
I only need to point to www.domainname.com to my Azure DNS zone and mail.domainname.com point to another email provider.
How can I do this?
I only need to point to www.domainname.com to my Azure DNS zone and
mail.domainname.com point to another email provider. How can I do
this?
Azure DNS zone works like the domain name manager, we can delegate your domain name to Azure DNS zone, then we can add A record to map www.domainname.com to your application.
About point mail.domainname.com tp another email provider, we can add mx record in your domain name management page.
Here A similar case about Azure DNS zone and custom domain name, please refer to it.
