I created a website using visual studio code, then posted to Github, then I posted to Microsoft Azure. I am doing the free plan and doing a static web site. I bought a domain through Azure and am trying to use that for my website name instead of the generated one but keep getting a validation failed any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I have the auto generated one under as a recordset for the custom domain as a www and Cname.

@sleek mist I would prefer root name. however if www is easier I can do that. This is in the record set if the fearelementstudio.net dns zone. The TXT has a name of @ and a random value.
@sleek mist Okay so in the record set then would I delete the TXT and the Cname then and recreate? Just want to make sure I do it correctly. right now I have a Type A with no value and alias target is my Azure resource fearelementstudio

@polar lake don't DM them. Just trying to scam you out of money.
Steps for adding a custom domain name are here
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-tutorial-custom-domain?tabs=root%2Cazurecli
If you want to add the root domain, an A record should be sufficient
sorry, and a TXT with that. Your validation info should look similar to this. Do you already have a TLS cert for the domain?

I do not have a app service certificate. The things I have setup so far is a static web app. The DNS zone and subscription. Do I need to make a App Certificate? Sorry new to all this. I've done some research but I didnt for this part.

If you want TLS to be happy (provides the S in HTTPS) then you'll need one, but you should be able to get the domain validated without one.
Visitors to your app will just get a security warning until you have one added. Through Azure, I think it's an upfront $70 for a cert that expires in 1 year.

@worldly cobalt how could you get to the domain validation page in Azure? I'm guessing that's the app certificate?
