Lest say I have a web application called example.com
everything is ok with it and both www.example.com and example.com redirect to the correct A record "#" defined on the GoDaddy Zone file.
The thing is, that my back office web application is on a different Azure server than the main site (site is on example.com and the back office needs to be on office.example.com).
for that i have created another server on Azure.
example.com is on example.azurewebsites.net
office.example.com is on example-office.azurewebsites.net
(azure management site shows that both server have the same ip)
(Btw, is that what I should have done?)
What I tried was:
1. add "office" A Record on Goddady that redirects the same ip (in addition to #) - didnt work.
2. add "office" CNAME that redirects to example-office.azurewebsites.net - didnt work
In both cases i added the awverify and the awverify.www as followed:
awverify.office is awverify.example-office.azurewebsites.com
awverify.www.office is awverify.www.example-office.azurewebsites.com
Azure Manage Domains doesnt recognize office.example.com
What should I do at GoDaddy's to make it work?
Thanks
you can find solution (godaddy screenshots included) here
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-godaddy-custom-domain-name/
CNAME or A records pointing to IP or domain is right solution
adding awverify is needed only if using A record
better solution is to use CNAME - after stopping web service and starting again, you will receive probably different IP addres in azure (or you can use traffic manager)

I have a web app deployed on Azure and I'm trying to make it so both <myurl>.com and www.<myurl>.com work. Right now I have both domains listed on Azure within my webapp. www.<myurl>.com is registered as a CNAME from www to <myurl>.azurewebsites.net in godaddy. I have an A record from # to the IP address shown by Azure, as well as a TXT record from # to the given DNS by Azure <myurl>.azurewebsites.net
The problem is when I go to http://<myurl>.com it will change the URL to <myurl>.azurewebsites.net but when I go to http://www.<myurl>.com the URL is does not change.
Below are my go daddy DNS records. Most of these were there when I bought the domain so I'm not sure what they do. There is an A record that I can't seem to edit and I don't know what that IP address belongs to either.
Alot of this can be done with an A and a CNAME. You will need to add both "www" and "awverify.www" in your DNS, and do those corresponding entries in the Azure portal.
Here's good doc:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kaushal/2013/07/05/azure-app-service-how-to-configure-a-custom-domain/
Here's alot more details:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-tutorial-custom-domain
The Azure portal will also give clues on what to do.
I am new in developed website. I have accidentally created a new DNS zone in Microsoft Azure which the domain already has its own DNS in another hosting company. The hosting company help to handle email of the domain.
Besides that, the company was also pointed the root domain to my web app by using A record.
The website now can be accessed via domain.com but not www.domain.com.
What is the solution for me to point www.domain.com to my web app domain.azurewebsites.net and without affect mail.domain.com?
What is the solution for me to point www.domain.com to my web app
domain.azurewebsites.net and without affect mail.domain.com?
We can add CNAME record to your web app service like this:
Host type value
www CNAME xxx.domain.azurewebsites.net
how about if I set cname * and point to domain.azurewebsites.net, will
it affect mail.domain.com?
If you set CNAME * and point to domain.azurewebsites.net, that will not affect mail.domain.com.
Because mail type is MX record, that will not affect CNAME record.
Hope this helps.
My domain verification process is completed and i also update my domain's DNS records to point to Firebase using "CNAME records" method (updated before approx 96 hours) but my site was not "Go Live". In Firebase console Hosting menu that give me below message:
Your site will go live when your domain registrar propagates your updated records.
I have already deploy my site default index.html using "Firebase deploy" CLI command and it's already successfully uploaded on "mydomainname.firebaseapp.com"
My Question: why my custom domain is not redirect to Firebase hosting?
Note: I have set default GoDaddy DNS nameservers in my domain.
I had the same problem and here is how i resolved it :
I put three parameters in the DNS record :
CNAME with www
A with 1st IP
A with 2nd IP
and then i only add two nameservers i.e.: ns1 & ns2 out of the 4 default Nameservers provided by name.com
and now my website is live on firebase.
-extra info:
it was not going live when i was using the 4 default nameservers.
it was not working with only one CNAME or both CNAME, or only both A with IP
I even contacted support on name.com they answered it is essential to have NameServer.
If you're using GoDaddy
Just try changing your host name from 'customdomain.com' to '#'
That worked for me
I could never get the "recommended" CNAME record to work. I ended up just using the two IP's for the A record. It took about 5 minutes to propagate enough to get my site in a browser.
If you are customizing your url domian with Godaddy and Firebase, you need to do the following:
Remove your existing A record (domains from Godaddy has one A record by default).
Add the A records from the instructions found in your Firebase Console.
If you want to use www.yourdomain.com, you need to set up the subdomain in Godaddy Domain (Attached image).
Maybe this step is not necesary, but I also added CNAME found in my Firebase Console.
After this changes you need to wait a few hours. If you problem persists Firebase has an excellent support as #FrankvanPuffelen says above. They solved my problems fastly.
For me after adding those 3, that #Orkun Ozen and #SarkawtNoori mentioned:
CNAME with www
A with 1st IP
A with 2nd IP
(without touching the nameservers)
in the domain service site (in my case hostinger).
I added a new domain to Firebase and called it www.mydomain.com including to mydomain.com and it worked perfectly.... (though I had to wait for it to be secure).
I deleted the custom firebase hosting site and added it again, actually when I did that it automatically was set as "connected". I didn't need to set up verification records or wait for provisioning.
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.
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
