I'm not able to add a custom domain name to my Azure website

Question

I recently activated Azure services that came with my MSDN subscription. I created a website with it and wanted to assign a custom domain for the website. Unfortunately, the "Manage Domains" option in the website dashboard is grayed out.

Answer 1

You can't add a custom domain to a free Azure website. You have to upgrade (SCALE tab on the portal) to Shared, Basic or Standard web hosting plan mode to add a custom domain.
