Answer 1

@ismail haruna , Thanks for your interest in Azure.

It is recommended that you use a CNAME for all custom DNS names except a root domain (for example, contoso.com). You can also add/register your URL without the "www." prefix, to set up another record in order for Azure to verify.

You can then add a CNAME record for the 'www' subdomain (for example, www.contoso.com).
Follow the steps outlined in this doc '#map-a-cname-record' for the steps.

So, for your case (just to show you the domain availability), try without 'www':

Another, test example:

Kindly see this document for more details Add and Secure a Custom Domain on Your Azure App Service Web App.

@ajkuma @PRADEEPCHEEKATLA-MSFT @AmanpreetSingh-MSFT , thanks for helping me resolve my previous custom domain name registration availability on Azure, but now i want to work on another project and seems to be having the same issue which is:

Custom Domain name: naijasap.pl saying unavailable on Azure but showing available on all other domain registrars platform like godaddy, nazwa.pl and this had happened before i was made available by your technical team on a previous domain name i have on my subscription and is live online;

the main aim is to buy and register a custom domain in Azure so all my solutions will be in Azure trying to avoid disparage platforms, so i want to register and buy a custom domain with .pl top-level domain; if Azure can support .nl and .in i believe they should support .pl too, will be glad to have an affirmative feedback on this before i go purchase from an external domain registrar which am not very comfortable with.

Thanks in advance as this issue is resolve please
