Subdomain on azurewebsites.net?

Question

To avoid namespace collisions on azurewebsites.net I prefix my websites with a string. Example foo-app1.azurewebsites.net and foo-app2.azurewebsites.net , etc so in this case they are grouped under the "foo-" prefix.

However a subdomain would be a nice way of grouping websites.

Is it possible to group websites as app1.foo.azurewebsites.net and app2.foo.azurewebsites.net ?

Is it possible to group websites as app1.foo.azurewebsites.net and app2.foo.azurewebsites.net?

For azure app service, app1.foo.azurewebsites.net and app2.foo.azurewebsites.net are two independent web apps. In order to group your websites, I assumed that you could configure the custom domain name for your Azure websites.

Assuming that your custom domain name is contoso.com . You could map your subdomains against the same azure web app as follow:

app1.contoso.com -> {app_name}.azurewebsites.net
app2.contoso.com -> {app_name}.azurewebsites.net

Also, you could map your subdomains to your different azure web apps as follows:

app1.contoso.com -> {app_name_01}.azurewebsites.net
app2.contoso.com -> {app_name_02}.azurewebsites.net
