I followed exactly the description by Microsoft to map their web apps on one's own external domain. And the redirection is even correct.
But my purpose was to map mydaylivery.com to the mydayliveryop.azurewebsites.net, so that the mydayliveryop.azurewebsites.net is replaced by my mydaylivery.com domain. However, there is just a redirection, but no replacement.
In my azure portal under the web app dashboard and beside "URL" is also mydaylivery.com mentioned. But if you go on mydaylivery.com, you see that there is still the azurewebsites.net subdomain.
I have used dig web interface to check your dns. It seems that you don't configure the domain correctly. The article you provide is suitable for Azure cloud service not Azure web App. I would suggest you have a look at this article. Please note below part in the article:
To use an A record to map to your Azure app's IP address, you actually need to create both an A record and a TXT record.

I'd like to consider this Azure feature:

But it won't be of much use to me if I'm unable to configure a custom domain for it. I'm having no problem with custom domains for standard App Service websites, but this is for containers.
I've tried searching for documentation, but I'm coming up empty.
--EDIT--
The technology I'm interested in is Web Apps for Containers; thanks to #sam-cogan for pointing this out to me.
I believe the video is talking about Azure Web Apps for Containers (I would really recommend not asking people to watch a 30-minute video to understand your question). Assuming that is the case, then adding a custom domain name is the same as setting one up for a normal app service, you can do so through the custom domain name settings in the portal. The process is documented here.
If you're looking to use a different service in Azure for hosting containers then please state which one and I will update. All of these can have custom domain names.
Azure Container Instances usually provide a public IP address, so pointing a domain name to it should not be a problem.
You could map either an A record or a CNAME to your instance.
There is no difference between configuring custom domain for normal web apps and web for container. I have tried below document and it is worked well.

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.
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.
See this question for details: Add many domains to an azure web site
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.
Please refer the following links
Sub domain mapping in windows azure
Add custom Domain to azurewebsite
I have a reserved azure website and I've been following this article - http://www.stratospher.es/blog/post/wildcard-subdomains-in-windows-azure
I have added a wildcard cname record which points to mysite.azurewebsites.net
via the azure management portal --> manage domains. I have the added an entry into the domain names list:
test1.mysite.com
If i browse to this url it works perfectly. However, if then try test2.mysite.com I get a 404. If i was to add test2.mysite.com to the domain names list in azure then test2.mysite.com would then work.
What have I missed ?
I got a reply from the author of the article above. Basically when he wrote that Azure websites didnt exist, he was using the azure cloud app.
In Cloud apps if you want to use your own domain you just point it to whatever.cloudapp.net. Your not required to verifiy a 'custom' domain like you have to in azure websites.
