Hi there,

I am working on a project and I was thinking to try out how wordpress is performing on Azure. However, unfortunately, if I want to create an app service, every name i choose is not available.
I have tried various names and none of them work. But you cant tell me, that a name with 40 letters has already been taken.

Check the image file attached.

    I too am seeing this issue.

    My scenario is slightly different.

    I have deleted Web App from one Azure Directory and now can't create one with the same name in a second Azure Directory

    I can create and destroy a the Web App in the original directory as many times as I wish without issues.

    @Merlin Hüttl are you trying to re-use a name which has previously been used in a different Azure Directory?
