I have created an Azure Website called "MySite".
I have added my custom domain: www.mydomain.com
Before adding a custom domain the default preview-URL for the site in Azure portal is: mysite.azurewebsites.net
After adding my custom domain to the bindings I want the preview-URL to be: www.mydomain.com
How to achieve this? There doesnt seem to exist any sorting function.

I have a domain registered through GoDaddy.
Currently there is an A record where:
Host: #
Points To: IP Address
This is pointing to a server that is currently serving the site.
I also have the site in an Azure Storage static web blob, and the endpoint is serving up the site and all is good.
I have tried registering a custom domain via the "asverify" method (see below), and Azure reports that it works. My custom domain "example.com" is accepted and all appears good except, navigating to https://example.com never works (after disabling the A record above).
Create a CNAME record with your DNS provider that points from the "asverify" subdomain (like asverify.www.contoso.com) to asverify.staticweb.blob.core.windows.net or asverify.staticweb.z5.web.core.windows.net. After this step completes, enter your domain below (exclude the 'asverify' subdomain). This method does not incur any downtime. To use this method, select the 'Use indirect CNAME validation' checkbox.
I have done something similar previously with AppServices. I have another domain that I have added to an AppService that is not a subdomain (so it is https://anotherexample.com NOT https://www.anotherexample.com). That was done with adding a TXT record to the DNS at GoDaddy, and works perfectly.
Does Azure Storage allow you to do this with a non-subdomain? That is the only way that I want to access the site.
Does Azure Storage allow you to do this with a non-subdomain?
Unfortunately, Azure Storage does not allow you to use non-subdomains to perform this operation. The subdomain is required, root domains are not supported.
please see:here.
While Azure Storage doesn't allow it as stated by the other anwser. You could very easily place an Azure CDN infront of it that does. To do this from the portal just go to the storage resource and search for the Azure CDN blade. From there you can create an endpoint to the storage or its static website. After creating the endpoint you can go to the resource and use the Custom Domain blade to set it up using a CNAME record.
I have a custom domain within my app service, but can't access my web app with www prefix only without. I get error ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED when trying to access with www prefix. I define my custom domain as subdomain.domain.com
Most commonly this is caused by a one of the below:
Is your App Service Plan scaled to allow Custom Domains / SSL?
Have you mapped the Custom Domain to the Domain?
For Example: have you created a CNAME or A Record on Azure DNS or your DNS Server?
Has it been added to the Custom Domains setting of the App Service?
Microsoft documentation for this is pretty good and the link for this is:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-tutorial-custom-domain
Assuming, that you already own the Domain etc etc
This article - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh534477.aspx#sec7 explains the below approach on how to let customers add custom domains and map to your application.
As an alternative you could allow each tenant to create its own DNS entry that maps a domain or subdomain owned by the tenant to one of your application’s DNS names. For example, Adatum could create the following DNS entry in its DNS configuration:
surveys.adatum.com CNAME adatum.tailspinsurveys.com
Or Adatum could create the following entry:
surveys.adatum.com CNAME www.tailspinsurveys.net
In either case you could use the custom domain name in your ASP.NET routing by using the technique suggested in option 3 above, or use the Request.Url class in your code to identify the domain.
I can achieve this so far with subdomains but when I create the CNAME below to my application I end up with a 404 (Web App not found). I don't want to have to add a custom domain inside azure for each customer. I'd like to automate the process for my SaaS site.
Thanks

It seems you do not configure the custom domain correctly. I would suggest you use Dig Web interface to trace your DNS domain. Please also check your steps from this article to ensure the custom domain is configure correctly.
Is it possible to prevent access to my Azure website from the Azure provided domain and force the use of the custom domain via a setting/configuration within Azure?
Right now I have a custom domain associated with my Azure Web App.
So, under domain names, there are 2 listed, my custom domain and the azure provided domain.
Example:
mywebapp.com
mywebapp.azurewebsites.net
I want traffic to only be allowed in via the custom domain. So, mywebapp.azurewebsites.net should either not be allowed or should redirect to mywebapp.com.
The easiest way is to change your web.config and add a URL Rewrite rule that will do a permanent redirect from the *.azurewebsites.net domain to your domain.
You can find an example on how they do that for domain.com to www.domain.com and you can apply the same logic. This article explains how to do that.
I have an site hosted on Azure that I am trying to point a domain from Google Domains to.
My current configuration is as follows:
Name Type Data
# A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
www CNAME history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net
awverify CNAME awverify.history-podcasts.com
I am following the instructions from here: Configuring a custom domain name for an Azure Website.
When I go to the Azure portal to Manage Domain and attempt to enter the url in DOMAIN NAMES, I get the following message:
A CNAME record pointing from history-podcasts.com to history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net was not found. Alternative record awverify.history-podcasts.com to awverify.history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net was not found either
When I go to the URL for the domain, I get the following message:
The website you have attempted to reach is not available in this Microsoft Azure Web Sites region. This could be due to one of several reasons:
The web site owner has registered a custom domain to point to the Microsoft Azure Web Site, but has not yet configured Azure to recognize it. Click here to read more.
When a site owner wants to use a custom domain with a Microsoft Azure Web Sites website, Azure needs to be configured to recognize the custom domain name, so that it can route the request to the appropriate server in the region. After registering the domain with a domain provider and configuring a DNS CNAME record to point to the site's Azurewebsites.net address (for example, contoso.azurewebsites.net), the website owner also needs to go to the Azure Portal and configure the site for the new domain. Click here to learn more about configuring the custom domains for a web site.
This is the same configuration settings I am currently using for several domains through Namecheap with Azure hosting and they work as intended.
EDIT:
To summarize, here are the steps you need to take:
1) Create CNAME record redirecting user from your domain to Azure specified domain using tools provided by your DNS hosting service
This step will ensure that when going to www.history-podcasts.com user will transparently be taken to history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net
Type: CNAME
Name: www
Value: history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net
IMPORTANT: Please note that it takes time for DNS servers to update their records therefore you should wait around 30 minutes before continuing.
2) Redirect your naked domain to subdomain using DNS hosting service tools
This step will ensure that when going to history-podcasts.com user will be redirected to www.history-podcasts.com
For Google Domains you can follow this guide here.
3) Add your domain to Azure Website
This step will assure Azure that you own the domain and you want your site to be reachable using specified domain name.
Login into https://manage.windowsazure.com/
Navigate Websites -> [Your Website] -> Configure
Scroll down to Domain names
Click Manage Domains (note that custom domains can only be used when in the Shared, Basic, or Standard modes)
Add your domain www.history-podcasts.com
At this point you should be able to reach your web site using both history-podcasts.com and www.history-podcasts.com domain names.
If your website requires HTTPS, you will have to take extra steps:
