Azure custom domain validation timeout - azure

I am trying to use my godaddy domain with azure web app. I create cname in godaddy dns settings. When I try to use this domain in azure portal I see two errors after validate button click without any description. In browser Dev tools I see two errors in console. It is two failed with 408 (timeout) error requests to manage.azurewebsites.net...
I try do that from different browsers and internet connections, but the result is the same.
What I'm doing wrong? How to setup custom domain for my azure web app (I see the instructions on learn.microsoft.com)?

I could not reproduce your issue. To bind it with my Azure Web App, I just add a CNAME record at domain DNS Zone tab. Here is my steps:
Then I can validate my custom domain in Azure Portal.
Please verify DNS before input it in azure portal via Dig Web Interface. Do you have any differences with your steps. If you have more concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Verify Ownership of Azure App Service Domain

I have registered a domain name through the Azure portal. I'm currently in the process of trying to verify ownership of it on Office365 so I can register email for it.
However, it looks like Azure uses GoDaddy as their DNS provider. Unfortunately, since I registered through Azure portal I don't have a way to sign into GoDaddy and go through the necessary steps to prove ownership of the domain.
On the Azure side, I attempted to delegate the app service domain to an Azure DNS Zone per the DNS Zone blade for said app service domain. However, when I click the delegate button, I get the following error:
Failed to update the domain to use Azure DNS: An error has occurred.
No further information. Is there anyway I can actually give proof that I own this domain?
GoDaddy support said they couldn't help me and that I need to call the registrar. However, I don't have a paid support plan with Azure so I can't actually call them.

Adding custom domain to Azure Web App (new portal) won't verify

I have been trying for 3 days now to link custom domains, caretopets.com and www.caretopets.com, to an Azure Web app - the issue is that I am was not able to verify it (I get both Domain ownership and Hostname availability errors).
The domain is newly purchased from godaddy. I read several articles, and also have other web app with different domain linked. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I added the required A, TXT and CNAME records as seen here:
I checked the records with digwebinterface:
The only thing is that there are some strange additional CNAMEs.
I also tried to verify a domain that is already linked to another web app in the same subscription, and even that one won't verify as well.
Any suggestions on where to go from here would be helpful.
link a custom domain caretopets.com and www.caretopets.com to an Azure Web app I am was not able to verify it
To map custom domain to web app, I create the DNS record(s) like this. I could validate Domain successfully.
As far as I know, it should report success or detailed error with prescriptive guidence on how to fix the error while checking for Domain ownership and Hostname availability in Azure portal.
Please make sure whether you point to correct IP address and Azure app's default domain name.
Besides, this article shows us how to manually map a custom domain name to web app with detailed steps, please refer to it.

Azure Custom Domain (Namecheap) not working without www

I thought I had all my mappings perfectly done:
I'm able to add the www.mydomain.me to azure but not mydomain.me. Is there something I'm missing?
Edit: When I attempt to point to mydomain.me in my broswer, I get the following error message:
Error 404 - Web app not found.
The web app you have attempted to reach is not available in this Microsoft Azure App Service region. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. The web app owner has registered a custom domain to point to the Microsoft Azure App Service, but has not yet configured Azure to recognize it. Click here to read more.
2. The web app owner has moved the web app to a different region, but the DNS cache is still directing to the old IP Address that was used in the previous region. Click here to read more.
Thanks
It's hard to tell what's wrong since you've hidden the settings. Here's what should work:
A Record points to the IP address found on the Azure portal
CName awverify points to awverify.yourservice.azurewebsites.net
CName www points to yourservice.azurewebsites.net

Allowing Users to Enter a Custom cname on Azure Websites

I have a multi-site application running on Azure Websites. When a user signs up, they pick a name for their application and they end up with "appname.coolapplication.com". Everything so far is working great within our own domain.
Our application needs to allow users to enter their own custom domain. For example, they want to view their application from "elsewhere.com" rather than "appname.coolapplication.com". How do I go about configuring Azure Websites to allow me to do this?
You don't. Per these instructions you instruct the customer to enter a CNAME record on their domain registrar for the Azure domain, and then it begins to work.
EDIT:
The CNAME only "just works" for Azure Cloud Apps. For Azure Websites, it turns out you must add the domain in the portal as well. I'd thus recommend switching your Azure Websites to Azure Cloud Apps to simplify the issue.
You can use the powershell api to add custom hostnames.

Multi-tenant Azure dynamic wildcard CName

I am trying to create a multitenant Azure website which is a way for people to sign up and get their sub-domains. I have followed the instructions in here (http://www.stratospher.es/blog/post/wildcard-subdomains-in-windows-azure) and manage to get all *.mydomain.com CNAME to mydomain.azurewebsites.net according to (http://www.digwebinterface.com/)
Here is the problem
if I go to tenant1.mydomain.com I'll get the 404 server error. However if I log in to Azure and go to my website Manage custom domains and add the tenant1.mydomain.com then everything would work fine.
The idea behind the wildcard is I can add tenant pragmatically/dynamically. Is there anyway to automated this process or add a wildcard in the azure Manage custom domains. Is there any difference between app cloud service and website?
Thanks for your help
Update
I end up using cloud services instead of websites. You don't need to configure the custom domain names in the control panel anymore. Just simply point cname and your good to go.
Did you check out the use of Amazon Route 53 to configure the domain mapping in Azure, it seems that there are options.
