I've been working on trying to get my own domain, for example mydomain.com, hosted in Azure Websites.
I upgraded/scaled to change my setting to "Shared".
I added CNAME record from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.azurewebsites.net.
I added www.mydomain.com to my website in azure under "Manage Domains", and it allowed me to add it successfully.
I am able to browse successfully to the website with www.mydomain.com.
I changed the A record for mydomain.com to point to the IP address listed under the Manage Domains section of the Azure website.
The CNAME and A record have propagated based on testing on my machine and on centralops.net DNS lookup tools.
If I browse to mydomain.com I get a 404. www.mydomain.com works as expected.
Can anyone help?

In the case of Azure Cloud Services, the canonical domain name is the <myapp>. cloudapp.net domain name of your Azure hosted application. Once created, the CNAME creates an alias for the <myapp>. cloudapp.net.
Sign in to the Azure portal using a Global administrator account for the directory. Search for and select Azure Active Directory from any page. Then select Custom domain names > Add custom domain. In Custom domain name, enter your organization's new name, in this example, contoso.com.
Go to GoDaddy portal - >Domains->Manage DNS -> Edit/Add the A Record and map the Azure web app IP as shown in the below figure. Now go to Azure portal -> custom domain of the web app service, click on Add custom Domain icon and enable the A record mapping as shown in below figure.
Step by step. This is working for me.
1 - In your DNS registrar create a CNAME record like following.
Name = awverify.mydomain.com
Value = awverify.mydomain.azurewebsites.net
TTL = 86400
2 - In Azure panel, add mydomain.com to your custom domains. It should show green check.
3 - Go back to your DNS registrar's web site and add an A Record for your custom domain using to IP provided to you by Microsoft in Azure Portal.
Name = mydomain.com
Value = 64.49.121.33
TTL = 7200
