How to Park a domain under Azure DNS domain zone for azure website

SRT Admin 20

We are hosting a wordpress website in Azure WebSites. We have the main domain set up in Azure DNS as a Zone and have it resolving to the Azure WebSite

I now have various other domain variants, .org, .net, .co.uk, .tv, etc which I would like to park/alias under the main .com domain.

Ideally, I'd like to have them 301 to the primary .com domain, but if that's not possible, simply having them alias to the main .com would be ok.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Let's assume you own "constoso.com"

I understand that you would like to forward the requests to other TLDs of your domain, such as .org, .net, .co.uk, .tv to your .com domain's site/record.

For this, you should own all the TLDs you want to configure redirect.

Then you have to delegate these domains to Azure

And then add a CNAME to the entries and map them to appropriate .com TLD's counterpart.

Should there be any follow-up questions or concerns, please let us know and we shall try to address them.

Thanks,

Hi,

This works in general. It requires that I have a top level Azure Zone configured for constoso.com, constoso.net, constoso.org, etc

I then add the CNAME record to each of .net, .org to redirect them to .com

Note: I have over 130 domains which all need to be CNAME'd to .com

constoso.tv, .jp, .ai, .io, .org, .net, .bz, .tech, .xyz, etc

Creating 130 top level Azure Zones @ $0.50/zone/month gets expensive.

I want to have 1 Zone, constoso.com with 130 CNAME records which forward to .com

If you'd like to add any records to an domain , it is imperative that you own that domain.

In case you have the ownership from any domain registrar already,

You can directly add CNAME records in the domain registrar's management page

No need to create an Azure domain for individual secondary zones.

Having an Azure zone, "constoso.com" can only impact records under this domain.

i.e, We will not be able to configure the resolution for records such as www.constoso.xyz, www.constoso.tv
