Azure Web App Service - How to force non WWW to go to WWW?

Question

I have an Azure Web App on the Standard App Service. I am able to access the site by going to http://www.websitename.com but unable to access the website via http://websitename.com.

How can I get the web address with the non www. to go to the www. version?

In my DNS Configuration for the domain my A Name record is pointing at the IP Address of the Web App in Azure, and the CName record at the Azurewebsites.net domain.

Answer 1

In the Azure portal, you will need to add both www.websitename.com and websitename.com as host names for the Web App, so that Azure knows to send traffic to it.
