Notable subdomains or services

This domain is the default hostname namespace for the Azure App Service hosting platform. Any app deployed to App Service is reachable at a pattern-based subdomain:

• ` .azurewebsites.net ` — standard web app endpoint
• ` -.azurewebsites.net ` — deployment slot endpoints (e.g. staging, canary)
• ` .scm.azurewebsites.net ` — Kudu management/SCM console for each app

Customers typically map a custom domain and useazurewebsites.netonly as the underlying CNAME target.

Azure App Service (azurewebsites.net)

azurewebsites.net is the default domain for applications hosted on Microsoft Azure App Service, a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) for building, deploying, and scaling web applications and APIs. When developers deploy an app to Azure App Service without configuring a custom domain, it receives a subdomain under azurewebsites.net.

Key Features

• Multi-language support: ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby
• Windows and Linux hosting with container support (Docker)
• Automatic scaling based on demand with 99.99% uptime SLA
• Built-in CI/CD integration with GitHub, Azure DevOps, and other platforms
• Managed SSL certificates and custom domain support
• Global deployment across Azure's worldwide data center regions

Common Use Cases

Azure App Service hosts a wide variety of workloads:

• Enterprise web applications and internal tools
• RESTful APIs and microservices backends
• Mobile application backends
• Development and staging environments
• WordPress and other CMS deployments

The platform handles infrastructure management, security patches, and load balancing, allowing developers to focus on application code rather than server administration. It integrates seamlessly with other Azure services like SQL Database, Cosmos DB, and Azure Active Directory.
