Configure WWW for Azure Shared Instance Site

I'm hosting my first site on Azure. After much trial and error, I got mysite.com to come up, but not if it's pre-fixed with www (getting a 404).

Here are my DNS settings:

A Records:

@ 1.2.3.4

ftp 1.2.3.4

www 1.2.3.4

CNAME

awverify awverify.mysite.azurewebsites.net

When I ping 1.2.3.4, the requests time out. How can I get www.mysite.com to resolve?

This is how I have set-up some of my Azure websites (and it works perfectly fine)

Assuming an Azure Website name is myazurewebsite and custom DNS is mywebsite.com I have one A record

  1. Host name:mywebsite.com IP:1.2.3.4 (IP taken from domain management in Azure Website)

And two CNAME records:

  1. Alias:awverify.mywebsite.com points to host:awverify.myazurewebsite.azurewebsites.net
  2. Alias:www.mywebsite.com points to host:myazurewebsite.azurewebsites.net

Then I have Azure Website configured with two domain names (Configure > Domain Names)

  • mywebsite.com
  • www.mywebsite.com

You may be missing www configuration in your DNS and Azure. I hope that will help.
