The Brief

I am developing an Azure SWA that has been accessed using the auto-generated domain name.

In the lead up to the first demo to management, I want a user-friendly URL that is associated with the company.

The company’s main website is hosted by another domain registrar, and I want to use a new subdomain of the existing website.

Steps

This is a simple two stage process, with configuration carried out in the domain registrar and Azure.

Let’s say your SWA’s auto-generated domain name is: paul-logan-0d123ff45.4.azurestaticapps.net

And you new subdomain’s fully qualified domain name is: myswa.mycompany.com

  • On the DNS editor screen of your domain registrar, create a new CNAME record with the hostname set to the “myswa” and point it to “paul-logan-0d123ff45.4.azurestaticapps.net”
  • Head on over to your Azure portal and navigate to your SWA
  • Click “Custom domains” in the sidebar
  • Click Add and select “Custom domain on other DNS” from the dropdown
  • Enter the new fully qualified subdomain “myswa.mycompany.com”
  • Click Add - the status changes to Adding
  • Once the status changes to Validated, click Close
