G'day
I have web page www.mypage.com which is written on ASP.NET, domain name bought from godaddy and hosted at Microsoft Azure.
I want to create blog hosted at Azure, using wordpress, which opens as blog.mypage.com or mypage.com/blog.
Should I configure that at azure? or mypage project? or godaddy?
Thanks
Setup a CNAME of blog.mypage.com on godaddy (or whoever your DNS hosting is provided by) to point to the Azure (websites, I presume?) address.
Alternatively you can have your blog as a Virtual Application and you would not need to pay for extra site if you have blog sitting in www.mysite.com/blog.
See this answer on how to configure virtual application:

I've a static Blazor website hosted on azure and I've set custom domain for it. The issue is custom domain https://www.raohammas.site/ is working while root domain https://raohammas.site/ doesn't work. Why? Though, I've added required DNS records for my domain.
DNS RECORDS On GoDaddy
Azure Custom Domains
I followed this guide by Microsoft to setup everything.

I have a bitnami wordpress in Azure.
I want to create a sub domain like subdomain.example.com.
I will install a new wordpress on this subdomain.
I want it on the same server.
I redirected my domain from Go Daddy to Azure. I have DNS Zone registration for example.com.
How is created subdomain in azure portal?
How can I creat folder for subdomain.example.com the same server?
(Note: Bitnami wordpress stack is available in server)
I'm assuming you're using App Service to host your sites. When you create your first Web Site, you must create an App Service plan. This plan can host multiple Web Sites so when you create your Web Sites, you simply need to select the previously created App Service plan. For each new Web Site, you must edit the DNS entries in GoDaddy and set the correct subdomain in the Web Site settings like you did for the first site.
I am new to Windows Azure, and from what I have read online it appears that any website hosted in Windows Azure needs to be a .azurewebsites.net website. So, if I had a website www.mysite.com hosted elsewhere, then it seems I cannot host this same site in Windows Azure, since I would have to use mysite.azurewebsites.net as the website url.
Question: Is above fact true? I could not find any documentation or any online article on this.
You can certainly host your own domain using Azure, as detailed in this support article (which links to a walk-through).
You can bind your domain to a website or cloud service, just I believe this is only something available in a paid tier. (Follow-up: Using a domain is only available in Shared, Basic or Standard mode.)
No, this is not true. You can have other domains, but in the background it will always has a .azurewebsites.net. See my blog as an example: http://www.buzzfrog.se. (This is only an example of the hosting.)
Here is an article how to do it: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/web-sites-custom-domain-name/

I like the idea of using Azure to host a Wordpress Blog.
I currently have an Azure Website that I'd like to add a blog to. Ideally I can create another website for the blog, and then have blog.mysite.com always show the contents of myblog.azurewebsites.net. Would this be possible?
I can have my domain registrar forward/mask from blog.mysite.com, but if there's a way to do it without masking, any info on getting that done would be awesome.
When you create a web site, Windows Azure provides a friendly
subdomain on the azurewebsites.net domain so your users can access
your web site using a URL like http://.azurewebsites.net.
However, if you configure your web sites for Shared or Standard mode,
you can map your web site to your own domain name.

I've looked at all related posts in MSDN and stack overflow but still having difficulty finding a solution.
I am looking to map a domain and all sub-domains to my windows azure website. It is a reserved website instance. I am using Amazon Route 53 DNS manager and have mapped a wildcard CNAME to my azure sub domain, and created a redirect on the naked domain to the www. subdomain.
When I navigate to the naked root, the redirect kicks in and I'm brought to www..com, where I receive a 404 error from azure.
I know the wildcard CNAME is working. I've verified using MXToolbox. If I go to "Manage Domains" in the Azure web UI admin system, I can manually add "www..com" or any other subdomain (e.g. "helloworld..com"). Azure verifies it fine and after saving, I can pull up the website fine by navigating to that subdomain and my azure website loads.
Is there any way to add wild card subdomains without having to verify each one manually through the azure ui interface? My application is a SaaS that relies on custom user sub-domains to serve up their branded website and gain access to their account so I need any and all subdomains to map to my application.
Currently, wildcard domains are not supported as far as I know. At least on Windows Azure Web Sites. They are on the roadmap, but currently you'll have to rely on adding every domain manually.
See wildcard comment on "Configuring a custom domain name for a Windows Azure web site".
Another feature not yet available on Azure Web Sites is SSL using a vanity (your own) domain name. If you want full control of your site(s) you can use Azure Cloud Services instead of Web Sites. With Cloud Services you can provision certificates, domain names, and run multiple sites on the same instances using host header routing.
Anything you can do with IIS Management you can do with a cloud service.
You're a little closer to the metal compared to Azure Web Sites (but not as close as with a VM) and you get load balancing, scaling, caching, and other goodness. Visual Studio 2010/2012 has excellent deployment tooling. You will need to study up on Azure deployment projects from VS, bit it's not bad.
