title: Hosting root domain (mydomain.com) with Windows Azure Shared Website?
body: <p>I've been working on trying to get my own domain, for example mydomain.com, hosted in Azure Websites. </p>
  
  <p>I upgraded/scaled to change my setting to "Shared".</p>
  
  <p>I added CNAME record from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.azurewebsites.net.</p>
  
  <p>I added www.mydomain.com to my website in azure under "Manage Domains", and it allowed me to add it successfully.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to browse successfully to the website with www.mydomain.com.</p>
  
  <p>I changed the A record for mydomain.com to point to the IP address listed under the Manage Domains section of the Azure website.  </p>
  
  <p>The CNAME and A record have propagated based on testing on my machine and on centralops.net DNS lookup tools.</p>
  
  <p>If I browse to mydomain.com I get a 404.  www.mydomain.com works as expected.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
