I have set up A and CNAME records. When I go to manage domains in the azure portal I enter alqalam.tv and www.alqalam.tv (my domain). The page shows that it has verified but when I save it shows an error. I have tried storage custom domain but it doesn't even verify.
My Azure website subdomain is alqalam.azurewebsites.net
I have made DNS lookup: http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HDNT/dns-record.php
and it shows
Domain Type Class Result
www.alqalam.tv. CNAME IN Alqalam.azurewebsites.net.
alqalam.tv. A IN 94.245.104.73
thank you
this did it for me:
Type Host Answer TTL
A alqalam.tv 94.245.104.73 300
CNAME www.alqalam.tv alqalam.azurewebsites.net 300
CNAME awverify.alqalam.tv awverify.alqalam.azurewebsites.net 300

the company I’m working for provided me a subdomain. test.mycomp.com . I want to add it to my azure web app via custom domain.
The azure system recommends a CNAME delegation and provided me the information to enter web-zeudz-staging.azurewebsites.net in the dns management as CNAME.
After doing so and verifiying via DNS Lookup, Azure always gives me „Domain Ownership Error“. What can I do to make this work?
Is your DNS provider also a CDN provider, for example cloudflare? If so, turn off the CDN/proxy function so it's a DNS only record and try again.
If you don't have any control over the CDN function you can use txt record validation.
Create your TXT record awverify.subdomain.test.mycomp.com with value web-zeudz-staging.azurewebsites.net and validate again. It should succeed.
There's also a CNAME awverify method but you need CDN disabled for that too.
I find it strange that your company doesn't have the option to enable/disabled CDN for any given DNS entry though.
I am trying to configure a www domain on azure. I want to have website under this domain. My domain is "legia.fitness". I have created the DNS zone as follows:
On this picture you see 4 DNS servers. I have delegated my domain that I bought at home.pl to those servers:
And this doesn't work. When I try to browse legia.fitness I get "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" error. What am I doing wrong?
Your Azure DNS zone does not have any A or CNAME records for www or # so the name cannot be resolved to an IP address.
Add a new A record with the label # set to the IP address of your Azure website, and another A record with the label www also set to the same IP address.
Alternatively, create CNAME records (both # and www) and set them to your Azure Website's name (e.g. yourwebsite.azurewebsites.net). CNAME records are aliases of existing A or CNAME records, but are slower to resolve which is why I prefer A records.
You haven't directed the domain anywhere yet.
You have a DNS zone that works. I can see the SOA records on Dig web interface.
Now you have to add CNAME/A records to the DNS zone to direct the traffic to where you want it.
Here is a guide for Azure Web Apps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/web-sites-custom-domain-name
If you use something else, you'll need to find its guide.
I have an azure website at yis3.azurewebsites.net - I have promoted this to be a "shared" site so that I can use a custom domain. I have the domain yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk that I bought from 123-reg.co.uk. I have configured this to give a CName record with dnsname of "awverify" and destination of awverify.yis3.azurewebsites.net.
I've waited over 12 hours and checked on digwebinterface.com and all looks good but when I click to "Manage custom domains" from the Azure portal , I enter a domain name of "yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk" but it won't accept it.
Please help
* Edit *
I've now waited a couple of days for domain propagation. Here's a screen grab from my domain registrar:
In the azure portal I've tried to add the following custom domains for the yis3.azurewebsites.net site but it won't accept any:
awverify.www.yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk
www.yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk
awverify.yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk
Here's a screen grab from the portal:
To use yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk
To use your domain without the www. prefix you need to add an A Record in addition to the CNAME you've added for "awverify".
First, make sure you've added the domain to the Azure portal by following the instructions under "Set the domain name in management portal" here.
Next, follow the instructions under "Configure an A record for the domain name" on the same page. This involves pointing your domain directly at the IP address of the Azure web site. You should then have added 2 DNS records in total:
CNAME awverify.www awverify.yis3.azurewebsites.net
A xx.xx.xx.xx (your website's IP address)
I've marked the next option as "preferred" because it points your domain at the Azure hostname "yis3.azurewebsites.net" instead of directly at the IP address. The IP address of your Azure website won't change, but if you ever need to deploy your website elsewhere it will have a different IP, so there will be a delay while the DNS change propagates.
To use www.yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk (preferred)
To use your domain with a www. prefix you need to add another CNAME record in addition to the one you've already added.
First, make sure you've added the domain to the Azure portal by following the instructions under "Set the domain name in management portal" here.
Next, follow the instructions under "Configure the CNAME on your domain registrar" on the same page. This involves adding a CNAME that points "www" to your Azure website's hostname (yis3.azurewebsites.net). You should then have added 2 DNS records in total:
CNAME awverify.www awverify.yis3.azurewebsites.net
CNAME www yis3.azurewebsites.net
A note about domain forwarding: Don't use 301 forwarding unless your site has been permanently moved. Use 302 for temporary redirection. More details here.
I finally figured out what was wrong. I was deploying a new version of an existing site but the old version still had www.yorkshireimagescanning.co.uk set on the custom domains page. Once I deleted it then I was able to add the domain on the new azure site.
Good afternoon,
I'm moving the restnet.es domain to host on a Windows Azure Web Site, but it just doesn't work. I guess I made all the configuration correctly, changing the A and CNAME records on the domain register (arsys.es), but the Windows Azure portal doesn't catch it.
The DNS is seted as following: http://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=www.restnet.es&type=&ns=resolver&useresolver=8.8.4.4&nameservers=
As above, it seems is all working, pointing as expected to 137.117.224.218. But when I go into the Portal and set it up, I got this message:
"The DNS record for 'restnet.es' that points to 'restnetes.azurewebsites.net' could not be located. If you want to configure an A record, you must first create a CNAME record with your DNS provider for 'awverify.restnet.es' that points to 'awverify.restnetes.azurewebsites.net'. First allow the resource record to propagate, and then create the A record."
What am I doing wrong? Where is my mistake?
PS: this is the actual configuration:
awverify.restnet.es CNAME
awverify.restnetes.azurewebsites.net
restnet.es A
137.117.224.218
www.restnet.es CNAME
restnetes.azurewebsites.net
Usage
www.restnet.es CNAME restnetes.azurewebsites.net
it is in place, no action needed
Verification
awverify.www.restnet.es CNAME awverify.restnetes.azurewebsites.net
returns nothing, you need to add record above into your DNS
it will take max 48 hours to propagated.
I've been working on trying to get my own domain, for example mydomain.com, hosted in Azure Websites.
I upgraded/scaled to change my setting to "Shared".
I added CNAME record from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.azurewebsites.net.
I added www.mydomain.com to my website in azure under "Manage Domains", and it allowed me to add it successfully.
I am able to browse successfully to the website with www.mydomain.com.
I changed the A record for mydomain.com to point to the IP address listed under the Manage Domains section of the Azure website.
The CNAME and A record have propagated based on testing on my machine and on centralops.net DNS lookup tools.
If I browse to mydomain.com I get a 404. www.mydomain.com works as expected.
Can anyone help?
Step by step. This is working for me.
1 - In your DNS registrar create a CNAME record like following.
Name = awverify.mydomain.com
Value = awverify.mydomain.azurewebsites.net
TTL = 86400
2 - In Azure panel, add mydomain.com to your custom domains. It should show green check.
3 - Go back to your DNS registrar's web site and add an A Record for your custom domain using to IP provided to you by Microsoft in Azure Portal.
Name = mydomain.com
Value = 64.49.121.33
TTL = 7200
More info here.
I can think two options:
a) The Azure web server needs to be configured to browse your site with both www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com. Maybe you have configured only one in "Manage Domains"
b) mydomain.azurewebsites.net. resolves to a different IP than mydomain.com (the A Record you added in mydomain.com is wrong)
you need to work with a DNS provider that allows you to forward the A record to a DNS (Go Daddy provides this option) - i.e. www.mydomain.com points to mydomain.azurewebsites.net and mydomain.com is forwarded to www.mydomain.com
